Amazon to Drop Viacom Reality Shows Amid Fatigue

Bloomberg: Amazon’s subscription-video service will drop several Viacom shows, including “Teen Mom” and “Mob Wives,” evidence that viewer fatigue with reality shows is spreading online. Amazon Prime Instant Video will spend more on original programming and buy shows from other suppliers. Viacom’s more popular shows, such as “Dora the Explorer,” will stay on the $99-a-year service. “Unscripted docudrama is becoming increasingly marginalized.”
