Cord Hosenbeck and Tish Cattigan are no strangers to the Rose Bowl, having covered the event for the past 25 years. However, their move this year to Amazon from a local station will allow their fans from around the world to stream the event live.

"Tish and I wait all year for this and this year it's going to be the biggest, the best, the most fun parade ever!" said Cord. "Pasadena in January! I wouldn't miss it for the world!" added Tish.

"We are honored to work with Amazon Prime Video on this exciting broadcast," said Tournament of Roses President, Lance Tibbet.

"Cord and Tish are parade legends, beloved the world over, and it was such a coup for us to steal them away to Amazon Prime Video for their first-ever live-streamed parade," said Heather Schuster, Head of Unscripted, Amazon Originals. "We're excited to bring Prime members this unprecedented live event from these veteran parade commentators."
