SEATTLE, Wash. — KIRO 7 is one of the first local television stations in the country - and the only station in Seattle– currently working with Amazon to deliver video news content on the new Echo Show, a new Alexa-powered touchscreen device
The Echo Show launched just a few days ago. It's similar to the audio news updates already being provided on Alexa-enabled devices like the Amazon Echo and Amazon Fire TV. But now, consumers will now have the opportunity to watch KIRO 7's video news content on the new device's 7-inch touchscreen display.
When customers ask Alexa for the news, they can receive a two-minute Video Flash Briefing featuring KIRO 7 News anchors providing trending storylines and weather information. KIRO 7 was the first station to utilize their anchor team to deliver news briefings on the Amazon Echo – which is being delivered to tens of thousands of customers daily - and is again one of the first to deliver video content via the new Echo Show.
Alexa customers will need to update their settings in order to receive this new offering by following the instructions below:
- Open the Alexa App
- Tap Settings on the left navigation bar
- Select the Amazon Flash Briefing and enable KIRO 7
This integration allows KIRO 7 to deliver news through the unique content delivery channels provided by Amazon and ensures customers will receive relevant and timely news specific to this region.
