Amazon Explores News Push Following Brian Williams Election Special (EXCLUSIVE)
Amazon Prime Video is exploring ideas for news programs after an early foray into the format with Brian Williams on Election Night
Amazon did not promote the Williams special outside its own media and officially announced it on October 17 — only three weeks prior to the final showdown between President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump. Cheng was previously chief operating officer of Amazon Studios, and, prior to that, helped build digital media in senior roles at Disney’s ABC TV business. Williams’ special was stuffed with correspondents and contributors who earned their fame elsewhere, including Shepard Smith, Poppy Harlow, James Carville, Candy Crowley, Don Lemon, Abby Huntsman, Jessica Yellin, Mark McKinnon, Douglas Brinkley and Lydia Moynihan — among others.
