Lol. Daily Mail is such a high standard of news journalism, than throw in a bitter Right Wing paper always wanting to throw anything at the project, cause it doesn’t promote its agenda but goes against it.
But hey you keep telling yourself it was “significance”
Content under the pact will come from ViacomCBS’s portfolio of entertainment, news and sports brands, including BET, CBS Television Network, CBS News, CBS Sports, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV — including the MTV Video Music Awards — Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Channel 5, Network 10 and Telefe.
In addition, under the renewal, Paramount Plus will host three Twitter Watch Parties for select original series (which ViacomCBS didn’t identify).
there’s great news comedy shows from OS as well. I’d love to see a local version of Mock the week. I’m surprised, given it’s longevity in the UK (over 19 seasons) there has not been a local version of it
Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. But I just watched the Adele / Oprah special (amazing!) … why would CBS have not given that to 10? Why sell it to 7??? Could have been huge for 10.
That’s not correct. 10 still would have paid for it, but bo doubt Seven paid more.
That said, did ViacomCBS even own it to have the distribution rights? It could be Oprah’s company.
Also - if ViacomCBS does own it - although selling to Seven no doubt resulted in a higher fee than 10 would have been willing to pay - there is something to be said for keeping good content on your own platforms, longer term benefits
Selling it to Seven, ViacomCBS gets a higher fee
Selling it to 10, they get the fee, plus higher add revenue, plus a boosted 9.30 show - and they keep it off Seven
They should have shown the inverview as close as possible to when it aired in US. Adele fans are going to use a VPN to watch the show on CBS’s catch up service.
I note from the audience report that 10 claim:
10’s audience is not only younger, but also more affluent. 59% of 10’s audience have a household income over $90,000 a year, compared to 50% of Nine’s audience and just 45% of Seven’s.
Interesting assertion but also a lot to ruminate for advertisers. No surprises 7s audience are mostly poor and predominately over 65.
Wait I’m confused, what is the point of this if 10Play is already here and essentially an ad-supported streaming service?
So Paramount+, Pluto TV and 10Play?
It’d be nice if some money could be invested in 10Play to bring it up to par with 9Now and 7Plus instead of just launching brand new services. I feel like the Pluto channels could be pretty well integrated into 10Play anyway (like the channels on 7Plus)
10 play is primarily a catch-up and live streaming service, with a limited library of other niche content for a local player.
Pluto TV offers hundreds of curated channels of content and is a global brand & strategy from ViacomCBS.
Don’t see why they can’t both operate in this market, especially as it’s ad supported and at a time when additional content is primarily being offered at a cost.
