Amazon shifts into Top Gear
They'll probably get a chance to (ghost)write a couple books, too.

Quote:

The former hosts of the BBC's popular "Top Gear" program, who left amid scandal over an off-set dustup, have signed up to present a new car show for broadcaster Amazon Prime.

Amazon said Thursday that Jeremy Clarkson, James May and Richard Hammond have committed to three series of the show, with the first to be broadcast in 2016.

Clarkson said moving to Amazon's streaming service felt "like I've climbed out of a biplane and into a spaceship."
Sounds like there is a BLUE ORIGIN side deal in the background.

And that was the last show of Top Gear I'll ever see. No Amazon Prime here. Nor will I ever subscribe to it, one streaming service is enough.

Moved to the Lounge, because it has no connection with reading or mobile devices.

No, "Top Gear" will still be shown on the BBC, with a different presenting team led by Chris Evans. It's the former presenters who have moved, not the show.

Some say that Amazon's new Stick will be an "in a few weeks", "coming soon" feature ..
Some say that he never comes too early ...

They've said that it'll be starting in 2016. Don't know where you got the "in a few weeks" from, but it won't happen .
