New at Sky: Streaming provider secures the next top station

Paramount+, Pluto TV, BET+ and numerous other streaming services of the group - with the exception of Showtime - have 42 million paying subscribers. In the past quarter, the company gained six and a half million new customers. It is still unclear what the integration of Paramount + with Sky should look like. "We are delighted to extend our longstanding partnership with Sky to continue to provide Sky customers with the leading portfolio of premium entertainment brands from ViacomCBS and most importantly Paramount+ to new viewers across all Sky markets including the UK, Ireland, Italy and GSA," said Raffaele Annecchino, President and CEO of ViacomCBS Networks International.

New to Sky: streaming provider secures next top station

"This transformative distribution agreement is key to accelerating our global streaming ambitions while supporting Sky's strategic goals of offering viewers greater flexibility in consuming our content across all platforms." This cooperation should cost the ViacomCBS competitor Comcast a lot of money, because they are already preparing for the fact that they cannot continue the long-term cooperation with WarnerMedia. Paramount+ will also be available directly to consumers via the Paramount+ app for iOS and Android, as well as supported Connected TV devices and OTT platforms. However, Sky Deutschland will also soon be integrating sister service Peacock into its offering. In order to be fit for the future, Sky presented a receiver just a few days ago that only needs to be connected to the Internet.
