Andrea Kremer and Hannah Storm are set to make history later this week, with Amazon Prime Video announcing Tuesday that the sports media veterans will become the first all-female NFL broadcast team for this week’s “Thursday Night Football” matchup.
Starting with this week’s Vikings-Rams clash, Kremer and Storm will call 11 Thursday games this season for Amazon. The Kremer-Storm team adds another option for Prime streamers — with the service already offering Fox’s Joe Buck and Troy Aikman broadcast, along with a Spanish-language and an often-candid British broadcast.
“NFL fans will hear history made this season – bringing two female announcers together to call an entire NFL game has never been done before,” Greg Hart, vice president of Prime Video, said in a statement. “Our customers around the world love to stream football – we are thrilled to have Andrea and Hannah bring their extensive knowledge of the game to fans on Prime Video.

That is a noteworthy strategic stance as traditional TV bundle players try to diversify their offerings and respond to subscriber erosion, cord-shaving and the explosion of direct-to-consumer offerings.
Not only will Prime originals be available through the service, but Amazon’s burgeoning Video Channels service will open up an interesting new frontier in the historically cloistered environment of premium subscriptions. The digital platform hosts some 160 services, including Showtime and Starz, meaning it will effectively become a store within a store on X1. The bet by Comcast in creating that setup is that keeping customers within...
