Prime Video’s ‘Thursday Night Football’ grows audience before, during, after games

Prime Video’s pregame and postgame shows will be at Soldier Field for the Panthers-Bears game Thursday night.

YouTube TV had been receiving rave reviews for its presentation of NFL Sunday Ticket, which streams out-of-market games on Sunday afternoons. But on Oct. 29, many viewers encountered significant buffering issues, preventing them from watching.

The next night, the direct-to-consumer service Bally Sports+ suffered a widespread outage that kept fans from watching in-market games.

Meanwhile, Amazon’s Prime Video continues to host millions of NFL fans for “Thursday Night Football” and has yet to experience a noticeable glitch, let alone an outage.
