Andy Jassy laid out a vision where Amazon becomes the center of the entertainment universe, where it produces its own programming, but also gives access to every other provider through its Channels program.
When Amazon first entered the enetrtainment space with its Prime Video division, the company said that it was all about retail. Customers would come for movies and TV shows, but stick around and buy other goods on the platform.
Speaking at The New York Times Dealbook Summit Wednesday, Amazon CEO Andy Jassy said that entertainment still serves that role, but he has also come to think that it can also be more than just an asset to boost subscriptions or shoe sales.
