Amazon aims to make Prime Video the destination for election night coverage by announcing a live election night special hosted by former NBC Nightly News anchor Brian Williams. This event is set to begin on November 5th at 5 PM ET.
Brian Williams will be accompanied by various guests, including notable contributors from the news and media sectors. These guests will represent diverse backgrounds and perspectives to provide real-time poll results and commentary, while also referencing third-party news sources from across the political spectrum. According to a blog post by Amazon, the presentation is intended to be informative, accessible, and non-partisan. The company plans to reveal the guest list in the coming weeks.
Reports of the show and Williams’ involvement surfaced in the previous month.
This special is part of Amazon’s broader initiative for live programming on Prime Video. Since 2022, the platform has been airing live Thursday Night Football NFL games and plans to broadcast numerous NBA games starting in 2025.
