Amazon Prime Video has announced a major expansion of its free live TV offerings, integrating hundreds of new channels into its platform, including local news, PBS content, and a diverse lineup of 24/7 entertainment channels. This move builds on last year’s rebranding of Freevee, which transitioned to a seamless “Live TV” section within the Prime Video app, as Amazon phases out the Freevee name to streamline its streaming ecosystem.

The expanded lineup includes local PBS stations, with Amazon revealing plans to soon offer free streaming of select local PBS content directly on Prime Video. This marks a significant step in making public broadcasting more accessible, bringing educational programming, documentaries, and cultural content to millions of viewers at no additional cost. Additionally, local news channels from major markets are now available, providing real-time updates and community-focused reporting to Prime Video users.
Among the new 24/7 channels are fan-favorite options catering to a wide range of tastes. Viewers can now enjoy a dedicated Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles channel, featuring classic and modern iterations of the pizza-loving, crime-fighting turtles. Nostalgia seekers will find a Saved by the Bell channel, offering round-the-clock episodes of the iconic ‘90s sitcom. For fans of heartwarming dramas, the Hallmark Movies & More channel delivers a steady stream of romantic and family-friendly films. AMC content, including acclaimed series like Mad Men, is also part of the lineup, alongside a SpongeBob SquarePants channel that brings Bikini Bottom’s beloved characters to audiences of all ages.
The shift from Freevee to a unified Live TV experience reflects Amazon’s strategy to simplify its streaming interface while enhancing its ad-supported offerings. Industry analysts note that this expansion positions Prime Video as a stronger competitor in the free, ad-supported streaming television (FAST) market, challenging platforms like Pluto TV and Tubi. The inclusion of local PBS stations and news channels also underscores Amazon’s focus on community-relevant content, a move likely to resonate with viewers seeking alternatives to traditional cable.
Prime Video’s free channels are available to all users in the U.S., with no Prime membership required, though Prime members benefit from a more seamless integration with their existing accounts. The platform’s intuitive interface allows viewers to browse live channels alongside on-demand content, creating a one-stop hub for entertainment.
As Amazon continues to roll out these enhancements, the company hinted at further expansions, including potential partnerships with additional local broadcasters and content creators. For now, fans of Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Saved by the Bell, SpongeBob, and more can dive into a treasure trove of free programming, all accessible with a few clicks on Prime Video.
