The competing offer for the home of Paramount Pictures, the CBS broadcast network and cable networks such as MTV threatens to undo a planned acquisition by tech scion David Ellison and his firm Skydance Media.
Jim Gianopulos, Chairman and CEO of Paramount Pictures, will transition oversight of Paramount to Brian Robbins, who has been appointed President and CEO of the studio.
SkyShowtime will bring together entertainment, movies, and original series from Showtime, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures, Paramount+ Originals, Sky Studios, Universal Pictures, and Peacock.
ViacomCBS today launched the new Paramount+ streaming service in Latin America with more than 5.000 hours of content from brands such as Showtime, CBS Television Studios, Paramount Pictures, MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and Telefe.
The company’s idea is to create a platform with advertisements that will combine CBS All Access with Viacom assets including Pluto TV, Nickelodeon, BET, MTV, Comedy Central and Paramount Pictures.
