Amazon has announced plans to stream its Premier League coverage in the HDR format.
Prime Video will broadcast 10 matches from the early December midweek match round starting December 5th and another 10 across the Boxing Day bank holiday round.
Its confirmed “select games” will be available in HDR “to offer fans a wider range of colour and greater contrast between light and dark, creating a more vivid view of the action”.
There’s also a new in-game match selection function that allows fans to move seamlessly from one game to another. This is accessed by pressing down on the TV remote or swiping up when using a phone or tablet. The feature removes the annoyance of missing several minutes of action when moving between matches.
Amazon has also secured the services of sports broadcasters Jeff Stelling and Dan Walker. Stelling was a regular on Sky Sports for 30 years, before leaving Soccer Saturday at the end of last season, while Walker previously presented the BBC’s Football Focus.
Also featured are Gabby Logan, Ally McCoist, Jon Champion, Clive Tyldesley, Robyn Cowen, Jim Rosenthal and Guy Mowbray and analysts, Thierry Henry, Alan Shearer, Patrice Evra, Michael Owen and Stuart Pearce.
