Amazon is set to host its first live news coverage special on election night, anchored by Brian Williams. The non-partisan presentation will begin at 5 p.m. ET on Nov. 5 and will feature election results and analysis from various third-party sources. Williams, who recently left NBC News, expressed excitement about the venture, calling Amazon a natural home for the event. This move comes as Amazon expands its live sports programming to attract more subscribers and drive revenue to its advertising business. In addition to sports, Amazon has been offering streaming news channels on Prime Video, such as ABC News Live, CNN Headlines, LiveNOW from FOX, and NBC News Now. This election night special marks Amazon’s foray into live news coverage and underscores its efforts to become a growing home for news viewers.
