Go to the Amazon page and see what other options they have.
For instance:
https://www.amazon.com/gp/video/detail/amzn1.dv.gti.82a9f7a0-582e-3d72-aa70-d8bed01fe40d
You can watch it free with ads, or you can rent it for cash.
You can get to the Amazon page directly from the IMDb page:
https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2209418/

Open that 3-dot menu, and click on the narrow sliver saying Prime Video:

There is no option to remove IMDB TV content from Amazon Prime there? Do you have that option?

I don't think so. That's like asking Amazon to remove the option of watching titles on StarZ, or some other affiliated streaming partner. As I pointed out, there might be other options on the Amazon page to watch the title.

Your response is silly. If I added Starz (which you pay for) it is easy to remove. Your IMDB TV is "free" and there is no way to remove it. Amazon Prime Video said to contact you.

It's not _my_ IMDbTV. I'm not an employee, just a fellow user. But an IMDb staffer did mark this thread as Answered.
I interpreted the question as wanting to remove the IMDbTV offer from a title.
So, different analogy: It's like asking to remove Amazon Originals from your Prime Video menu. I never signed up for either AO nor IMDbTV, but they both show as options under the Your Channels heading, and as carousels of available titles. Is there some way to remove Amazon Originals from the menus?

My question was not answered. As I said in my original post, I do not want to watch advertisements as I paid to watch ad free programming. IMDB TV content has ads and since my time is a value, I believe I am paying extra(my time) to watch the IMDB programs. It looks like there is no way to sort the programs with advertising and the ad free programs. I guess I might as well drop Amazon Prime. I subscribed to Amazon Prime with the understanding that the programming was ad free. Just another bait and switch tactic by a big corporation.

When you see that a title is available from IMDbTV, you know you'll get ads. When you see the title is available from Amazon Prime, you know it will be ad-free.

I think they make it pretty clear that you're going to get ads before you play the title.

The answer to your question appears to be that you cannot "remove" IMDbTV from your Prime choices. But you can certainly avoid them.
Or is your complaint that you don't get these warnings within the method you're using to watch Amazon Prime Videos? Perhaps this information is NOT clearly displayed on the platform you're using? (These screen captures are from the desktop site.) If that's the case, you should specify the platform you're using. And that will likely be an Amazon problem. (Amazon does not reply on this forum at all.)
