Amazon, Viacom deal brings more TV shows to Prime Instant Video service

Just as rumors indicated , Amazon has announced a new licensing deal with Viacom that will add TV shows from its networks -- MTV, Comedy Central, BET, VH1, Spike, Nickelodeon and the rest -- to the Prime Instant Video service. There's still no word on any potential spinning off of the all-you-can-eat video portion from the rest of Amazon's Prime membership program, but it does bring the count of movies and TV shows available to around 15,000, up from the 13,000 cited recently. The details are in the press release after the break, but it appears Amazon will have many of the same selections , from MTV favorites like RJ Berger and The Hills to kids shows like Yo Gabba Gabba and iCarly.
