Along with Amazon’s numerous Echo-related announcements today regarding new devices, the company also said it would soon be extending and improving its hands-free TV viewing experience to a range of video partners, including big names in streaming services like Hulu, PlayStation Vue, CBS All Access, Showtime, and others.

Prior to now, Amazon had been working on making Alexa a voice-based remote control of sorts for watching television, initially through partnerships with traditional TV providers, like Dish, and then later by working with the makers of smart home devices, like the Logitech Harmony, to allow viewers to control TVs, AV receivers, IR hubs and more through the Alexa platform.
