Amazon is to add more than 40 TV channels to its UK streaming service, including ITV and live sport for the first time, upping the stakes against rival Netflix and pay-TV operators such as Sky.
Amazon will offer the channels at an extra cost to Amazon Prime members, who pay 79 a year or 7.99 a month for on-demand video including exclusive shows such as American Gods, The Grand Tour and Man in the High Castle.
