On Comcast's X1 system, the CBS All Access button offers viewers the opportunity to try Paramount Plus.
ViacomCBS had to negotiate new deals with distributors that carried CBS All Access.
Paramount Plus is launching with a premium $9.99 a month, largely ad-free tier. In June, it will launch an add supported $4.99 tier. The lower-priced tier will not have a live feed of CBS programming.
“The launch of Paramount Plus, which builds on our legacy of innovation and superior storytelling, is a significant milestone for ViacomCBS that demonstrates our commitment to being a global leader in streaming,” said Tom Ryan, president and CEO, ViacomCBS Streaming. “By combining fresh original content with live and on-demand programming and an established library of titles from world-class entertainment brands, we have created an unrivaled service that offers live sports, breaking news and entertainment for all audiences.”
