Leveraging their dominant exposure, Amazon is set to start producing network tv quality television shows, with professional budgets. They aim to bring streaming original comedy and children&#8217;s content to their audience, all original material. Amazon plans to solicit original scripts in these two genres, and if one is optioned, the creater gets $10,000, if it is made into a series, the creator gets $55,000 and up to 5% residuals. While most companies would be discouraged from branching out into this new media territory, Amazon should be just fine, leveraging, among other assets, Joe Lewis, a long time Hollywood name, who brings his years of experience from Comedy Central, 20th Century Fox, and a cloud based tv station called, BARK Industries.
