PARAMOUNT Global is considering merging its Showtime streaming service with Paramount+, offering a combined online TV option to consumers as the industry fights for viewers.
Showtime, a premium cable TV channel that’s home to shows like the finance drama Billions and Yellowjackets, about a girls soccer team, has an online service that’s available for US$11 a month. Paramount+, which includes movies and shows from channels including CBS, Comedy Central and Nickelodeon, starts at US$5 a month for an ad-supported version.
The company already sells the 2 services as a bundle and has made it so that people who pay for both can watch Showtime within Paramount+.
“We are always exploring options to maximise the value of our content investment by giving consumers access to great Paramount content through an array of services and platforms,” the company said in a statement.
The Wall Street Journal reported earlier on Tuesday (Sep 13) that the company is considering merging the services.
The company said that at the end of June it had more than 43 million Paramount+ subscribers and 64 million total streaming customers. BLOOMBERG
