Amazon reportedly ditching plans to offer a cable TV bundle because it’s still too expensive

The Verge ----------- Amazon is shelving plans to introduce a pay-TV bundle over concerns it can’t reliably turn a profit with the service, according to a report today from Reuters. The service was to be part of Amazon Channels, the company’s current cable subscription offering that lets users subscribe to HBO, Showtime, and Amazon’s new anime streaming service, among more than 100 other cable and digital-only networks. The pay-TV tier would have included local broadcast and cable channels in a skinny bundle similar to Sling TV, PlayStation Vue, and YouTube TV, but presumably for less money and with more popular channels unbundled from other, less desirable options.
