Individuals will have the capacity to subscribe to well known stations, for example, Discovery and Eurosport independently, without paying for a heap of stations.
As of recently, Prime Video has offered just on-request movies and TV appears in the UK.
Be that as it may, one examiner said the dispatch line-up of stations was "not quickly alluring" and would battle to pull in satellite TV clients.
"Amazon propelled a comparable thing in the US, and the huge offering point was that you could get HBO and Showtime programs, all under one umbrella," said Tom Harrington, an examiner at Enders.
"That is not going to occur here. Sky have HBO and Showtime secured, in any event for the time being, and will clutch them forcefully.
"When you take a gander at what's accessible in the UK, it lacks the wow figure."
Revelation Communications is giving the best-known pay-TV stations to the administration, offering Eurosport for £6.99 a month and Discovery Channel for £4.99 a month.
Watchers should likewise pay for an Amazon Prime enrollment at £79 a year.
ITV will offer an advertisement free form of its gushing administration and access to its free channels - such ITV 2 and ITV Be - for a month to month charge of £3.99.
"This is a beginning stage," said Alex Green, overseeing chief of Amazon Video.
"We're putting forth direct TV channels where it bodes well. We have a decent spread of enormous accomplices and I'm certain that will just develop."
And also the customary TV stations, watchers will have the capacity to pay for curated "channels" of projects to stream on-request, for example, the Yoga Anytime Channel, and Horse and Country Play, which is charged as the "home of equestrianism".
"The center of the experience on Prime Video is on-request gushing, and that will in any case be the center of the experience," said Mr Green.
Troublesome market
Mr Harrington said it would be troublesome for gushing administrations to offer customary TV administrations at an aggressive cost.
"In the US, YouTube, Amazon, Apple and Facebook have been vocal about getting TV packages together, however YouTube is the just a single to have done it up until this point,"
"It's difficult to work from all these diverse providers and set up these stations together at a value that is perfect to a link advertising."
Mr Green said Amazon needed to offer clients greater adaptability, by giving them a chance to subscribe to individual channels.
"Regularly individuals say they are subscribed to a major TV bundle however don't watch a great deal of the channels," he told the BBC.
"Presently individuals can give it a shot, pick and pick, and scratch off whenever."
