The combined name is definitely shitty, but I can't think of a brand in media with more recognition and retro appeal than Paramount. It was an OG movie studio and a highly promoted brand until very recently.

We’re talking about a retro-cool TV channel with enormous relevance and “eyeball” vs. an antique studio brand that, at best, people saw the logo briefly before a movie sometimes.
