Amazon announced in September that ads were on the way for Prime Video‘s entertainment content. Now we have a date. On January 29, commercials will be introduced to series and movies airing on the service in the U.S., UK, Germany and Canada. That will be followed by France, Italy, Spain, Mexico, and Australia later in the year. The move was announced in a letter sent to subscribers that described the addition of what was termed “limited advertisements” to allow the service “to continue investing in compelling content and keep increasing that investment over a long period of time.”

Among the caveats:
There will not be ads on content that is purchased or rented.

Customers in Guam, the U.S. Virgin Islands, Guam and the Mariana Islands will not see ads rolled out.
