PBS Scrutinises Jeff Bezos

Thursday, March 5th, 2020

Described as ‘the richest man in modern history’, Jeff Bezos is best known as the CEO of Amazon, the company he founded in his garage in 1994. But as well as being phenomenally wealthy, Bezos has built a business empire without precedent in the history of American capitalism, one with the power to shape work, commerce and technology on this planet – and perhaps beyond.

As politicians and regulators worldwide start to consider Amazon’s global impact and how to curb Bezos’ power, Amazon Empire: The Rise And Reign Of Jeff Bezos (Friday 6th March, 8.35pm) interviews current and former insiders, critics and others, uncovering how Amazon came into existence, and raising important questions about Bezos and the empire he built.

What the industry says about US

TT Spektra, Sweden

We use both the Global Listings press schedules (in Word) and their XML files. The programme descriptions are rather good and not too long, which is helpful. We use their text verbatim and import it direct into our database.

ESPN Classic, UK and Europe

In an increasingly competitive European TV marketplace, those channels that succeed are those that help viewers make an informed choice from the schedule. We are delighted to be working with a leading-edge organisation that helps its clients transform their listings and improve the service to both customers, journalists and platform owners alike.
