It’s Showtime!… Plus Paramount – Inside SCOPE

By: Kirk Jackson

This past week, Paramount+ and Showtime potentially elevated their respective brands, combining powers and merging content, by making both services available all in one app.

Now, Paramount+ can be upgraded to offer Showtime all within the same app, adding convenience and additional access, while updating and opening your streaming service.

Paramount+ and Showtime will still be available as separate apps respectively.

One of the main benefits of this merger, is you can stream a variety of shows, movies and sporting events in the same place. For example, you can watch the latest episode of Survivor, Big Brother or Evil via Paramount+, then switch over to Billions, Your Honor or Yellowjackets through Showtime.

Also, you have the option of Bellator or Showtime Championship Boxing across Showtime for your fighting fix and you can stream live action from the NFL on CBS, UEFA Champions League, SEC on CBS and more, along with highlights, replays and analysis from CBS Sports HQ across Paramount+.

In addition, as Paramount+ was formerly called CBS All Access, Paramount+ offers CBS originals, Paramount+ originals, and films and other television shows owned by Paramount Global.

Paramount Global, is tied in with the CBS Entertainment Group, and once you start connecting dots, the aforementioned merger makes that much more sense.
