New titles from parent ViacomCBS pushes streaming service over 100,000 hours of content
ViacomCBS’s Pluto TV streaming service said it is getting ready to air select episodes from the first 10 seasons of the long-running animated Comedy Central hit South Park.
ViacomCBS and South Park’s creators sold the streaming rights to all 23 seasons of the show to HBO Max reportedly for more than $400 million.
Cartman, Kenny and friends are just a few of the characters heading to Pluto TV from ViacomCBS, which has been buttressing the ad supported streaming service with material from the library.
