Amazon to run ads with Prime Video shows — unless you pay more
CBSN
If you want to watch Amazon Prime Video shows and movies without advertisements, the service is about to get more expensive — about $3 more per month, or $36 a year.
Amazon on Friday said it will start running ads in its Prime Video content in early 2024, placing commercials into its shows and movies that so far had been ad-free for Prime subscribers, who pay $139 a year for the membership.
Customers who pay the new fee of $2.99 a month to keep their Prime Video content free of ads will effectively see their annual membership price increase by 26%. People who subscribe to Prime Video as a standalone service now pay $8.99 per month, which means adding on the ad-free option would boost their subscription price by 33%.

A single moment captured by an Army photographer became the most enduring image of America's greatest military operation.
