West Virginia Public Broadcasting Now Streaming On Prime Video

[CHARLESTON, WV]— West Virginia Public Broadcasting (WVPB) is excited to announce that we are now available to stream free on Prime Video as part of Amazon’s FAST channels.

WVPB is under the Live TV section of Prime Video. The channel is geo-locked to West Virginia only. The channel is searchable on Prime Video app on televisions and under entertainment on the web.   

PBS and Amazon announced in November that more than 150 local PBS stations and the PBS KIDS Channel would be available ad-free as a Prime Video FAST offering. FAST Channels on Amazon are accessible through Prime Video and Fire TV. Non-Prime users will have free access to programming under the “Watch for Free” section within Prime Video.

“Amazon Prime’s inclusion of the West Virginia Public Broadcasting livestream is great news for our many viewers who are looking for alternative ways to watch WVPB outside of cable and over the air”, said WVPB Executive Director Eddie Isom. “We’re hopeful this new partnership will expose WVPB content to new viewers.”

“As the way we watch changes, WVPB now has more ways to meet our viewers wherever they are and continues to find new ways to bring our programming to new audiences”, said WVPB Director of Programming Zander Aloi.

WVPB content is available on the PBS app, PBS Passport, and the WVPB app.
