Paramount+, a new streaming service by ViacomCBS and a rebrand of CBS All Access, is launching on March 4 in the US. The service aims to be one of the most affordable of its kind, with a starting price of $4.99/month.
The catch: the $4.99 tier is ad supported and you’ll have limited access to the service’s catalog of movies, TV shows, news and sports coverage. The $4.99 plan won’t be available until June of this year. For $9.99/month, you can unlock access to all content on Paramount+, including CBS live TV and live CBS Sports, when the service goes live next week.
