Amazon’s Prime Video platform will broadcast the Australian Swimming Championships, in Adelaide next month, as part of a two-year deal with Swimming Australia. The company will use a roster of celebrity commentators to give a high profile to its continuing foray into the sports sector.
The deal with Swimming Australia is the first partnership Amazon has had in Australia for sports, other than sports documentaries.
The streaming giant has a patchwork of sportscasting in other territories – in India, for example it currently has a mixture women’s basketball and some cricket, having previously carried major tennis tournaments and English soccer. It finds itself in competition with incumbent free-tv channels, pay-tv operators for which live sports is a lifeblood, and a growing number of specialist sports streamers.

ABC has released the details about the premiere episode of Desiree Hartsock's season of "The Bachelorette." There's a lot going on, but here are the highlights:
Desiree is made to feel like a princess, as she is welcomed to the Bachelorette manse and given both the keys to a Bentley and a silvery gown. One of the bachelors is a "sleight-of-hand artist". (Illusionist? Magician-American? What do they prefer to be called?)Over the course of the first meet 'n greet, an oil-rig worker gets totally nude and jumps in the pool. Because he's that guy. One bachelor offers to show Desiree his private "fantasy suite" and apparently her reaction shocks the house. Naughty. Later in the season, Desiree and her men travel to Atlantic City, Germany, Spain, the island of Madeira (off the coast of Portugal) and other exotic locales. There are performances by Andy Grammer, Soulja Boy, Kate Earl,...
