Amazon.com Inc is working on a standalone app for watching sports content, The Information reported on Wednesday, citing a source with direct knowledge of the plan.
The move comes as Chief Executive Andy Jassy doubles down on
the company's streaming ambitions, the report said, even as Amazon reviews
unprofitable businesses and cuts roles in some divisions.
Amazon did not immediately respond to Reuters request for
comment.
It was not clear when Amazon will roll out the sports app
and whether it will go through with the plan, according to the report.
The company has been reviewing unprofitable business units
and has laid off some staff to cover rising costs and a demand downturn as
inflation-wary consumers and businesses spend less.
