PARAMOUNT+ INTRODUCES NEW LIVE CHANNELS

The Service Debuts Curated Channels Inspired by World-Class Franchises and Popular Genres Such as Reality, Adult Animation and Kids

Dec. 9, 2021 - Paramount+ today introduced Live Channels, a new product feature that curates the most popular shows and movies on the service in linear channels, allowing subscribers to sit back and start streaming premium content. This new offering launches today with a collection of themed channels inspired by the service's most-streamed genres, such as Kids & Family Fun, Crime & Justice and Reality TV: Competitions, as well as fan-favorite franchises, such as PAW PATROL and STAR TREK.

"Even in the era of on-demand, there is clearly a strong consumer appetite for reimagined linear channels that provide effortless, lean-back entertainment," said Tom Ryan, President and Chief Executive Officer, ViacomCBS Streaming. "Inspired and informed by the winning model Pluto TV pioneered and popularized, these highly curated channels underscore the power of our unified streaming organization and serve as a product differentiator in the SVOD space, by offering subscribers yet another way to experience and discover programming on Paramount+."
