    Amazon has signed Mike Hopkins, a streaming and TV veteran, to lead Prime Video and Studios. Hopkins has been Sony Pictures Television's chairman since he joined the company in 2017 -- he's credited for restructuring and streamlining its operations -- and he served as Hulu's CEO for four years before that. Prior to joining Hulu, he headed 21st Century Fox's distribution strategy. Amazon likely hired Hopkins to make up for the absence of Jeff Blackburn, the company SVP in charge of its digital entertainment efforts, who's taking a sabbatical this year.
