Amazon is developing a free and ad-supported streaming video service, according to a new report out now from AdAge, citing people familiar with the plans. The company is said to be in discussion with various studio and TV networks to provide content for the service, which aims to give content creators their own channels where ad revenue would be shared with Amazon.

This is not the first time Amazon has been reported to have something like this in development, however. Back in 2014, the company was also rumored to be working on a very similar project – that is, a free video service that sits alongside the existing Prime Video offering that’s bundled with an annual Prime Membership.
