Prime Video cuts funding Africa
Amazon Prime Video is redirecting its financial focus to prioritising original content from Europe, restructuring its European team into “EU Established” and “EU Emerging” segments.
This shift involves slashing content and staff in Africa and the Middle East, with a halt on approving new local original content in Sub-Saharan Africa, the Middle East, and North Africa. Despite confirmed productions in these regions, staff reductions are anticipated.
Vice President Barry Furlong explained the adjustments aim to align resources with customer priorities, enhance operational efficiency, and foster agility. A new role, Director of EU Content and Programming Strategy, will collaborate internationally on Amazon MGM Studios pipeline initiatives.
