I feel it will be exactly the same as tvplayer premiun line up.
Got to agree. If that's the case I don't see this as a big announcement or a game changer in anyway as TV Player is already available on Amazon.

Here is a description of the service in the States:

"Amazon Channels, on the other hand, is a collection of streaming content services that you can subscribe to through the e-retailer's offering. So, there's no single Amazon Channels interface where you'll watch all the content you want like Netflix and Hulu. Instead, Amazon Channels is a place where you can subscribe to the content you want and watch it through Amazon Video on any number of devices. Amazon handles all payment processing to the channels you subscribe to."

The only real difference I see is you might be able to sign up for apps like Hayu, Boxnation, WWE Network and Disney Life but you'll be able to pay Amazon directly instead of having multiple subscriptions to multiple providers. A one and done service.

Will wait for more news before making a final judgment moment I'm totally underwhelmed.
