I can't see broadcasters moving away from 'on the hour' scheduling for primetime shows.

That's very true. I do find it interesting though, that Amazon in particular, have been entering that space for the last few years.

Vikings
Black Sails
Outlander
Turn
Halt and Catch Fire
Into the Badlands
The Red Road
Rogue

All are shows that Amazon has first run rights to and they are good quality shows.
Very true , just a thought but could it be because Amazon's portfolio of Originals is far smaller than that of Netflix.
