Do you think any streaming services could potentially create their own TV network?

Re: Do you think any streaming services could potentially create their own TV network
Granted I don't buy nearly as much physical media as I used to, but I'm still fairly plugged in so I consider that a marketing fail. The Amazon page appears to show that they published it themselves so maybe that's part of it. I don't know how much they push it into physical retail stores. I've heard that bookstores don't like the Amazon publishing imprint, but I would guess they're more territorial than home video.

So this is kind of what I was trying to get at initially; re: alternative plans of distributing their content. They will produce movies to screen in theatres, and then they will go to Prime. Different than Netflix's plan of producing films that will premiere on Netflix.

I'm surprised that Google or Yahoo haven't started their own sports networks(streaming or otherwise). I think Yahoo does produce a sports talk show on CSN Bay Area,

I would imagine the theatrical release is nothing more than a marketing campaign to raise awareness for the eventual home video options. Magnolia did something like this for their movies, though their theatrical micro releases were meant to promote the DVD and Blu-ray.
