Hundreds of past episodes of these NBC programs will be available through Amazon Prime, and can be watched at no additional charge for subscribers who pay a flat $79 annual fee.
The expanded licensing agreement with NBCUniversal adds to the library of titles available through the subscription service, which competes with other digital providers, including Netflix. There are now a total of 22,000 movies and TV episodes that can be streamed from Amazon on the Kindle Firetablet and through other devices, including home computers and laptops as well as Microsoft's Xbox 360 and Sony's PlayStation 3.
