Paramount+ is a major American subscription streaming service owned by Paramount Skydance, drawing its vast content library from brands like CBS, Nickelodeon, MTV, Comedy Central, BET, and Paramount Pictures. It originally launched as CBS All Access on October 28, 2014, focusing on live CBS programming and on-demand shows, before expanding into original content in 2016. Following the 2019 merger of CBS and Viacom, the service was rebranded as Paramount+ on March 4, 2021, and expanded into international markets across Australia, Latin America, and Europe. The platform offers original series, films, live sports (including NFL games), and live streams of local CBS stations, making it a top-ten global streaming service with 79 million paid memberships. It also operates alongside sister services like the free ad-supported Pluto TV and the news-focused CBS News 24/7.
