People who have paramount+ are great beneficiaries assuming there’s no premium up charge.

I currently get showtime through paramount+ and do pay an upcharge. The article mentions it will be part of their "premium" tier.

Yeah but you could call it FartAss+ and it wouldn’t matter, the name only means whatever it is in the very moment. Showtime has existed at the pinnacle of TV entertainment for decades.

All cable and premium cable networks are collapsing into the abyss of streaming, so the sooner they get hitched to a stream carrier the more likely they are to survive in perpetuity with their catalog and new content.
