Beginning today, Amazon will be rolling out a news aggregation app for Fire TV users in the U.S.
The app serves up a customizable news experience from a number of different outlets.
The list includes nearly 20 names (a number of which are Yahoo sub-sites), including bigger partners like Reuters, CBS, Sports Illustrated and HuffPo.
The available outlets are as follows:
CBSNews
Reuters
Huffington Post
Bloomberg
YahooNews
Yahoo Finance
Yahoo Sports
Yahoo Entertainment
AOLNews
Al Jazeera
People
Entertainment Weekly
Sports Illustrated
Cheddar
Newsy
Wochit
There are a number of big names missing, of course — The New York Times, The Wall Street Journal, NPR and CNN all spring to mind.
Though, admittedly, these sorts of content deals can be tricky, through a combination of paywalled content and the kind of flash news feature that required to serve content through a smart assistant.
Amazon promises to &continue to expand its news content selection over time.&
Once the outlets have been chosen, users can access it by asking Alexa to &play thenews.& Alexa-enabled Fire tablets will be getting the app at some point in the near future.
