Early subscriber sale for Paramount+

[Tom Wolper]

I was going to append this to earlier Paramount+ threads but there was enough snark in them that it could get lost for anybody who wants to sign up for the service.

The regular rates for the service will be $59.99 annually with ads and $99.99 without. If you sign up before March 4 with the discount code PARAMOUNTPLUS you will get 50% off: $30 with ads and $50 without ads.

As near as I can tell, my CBS subscription becomes a Paramount+ subscription at the appointed time and date

Same.  And it looks like the fee structure isn't changing.

Same.  At $2.50 a month?  That I can (almost) stomach.  (Although I still feel like, as a cable subscriber paying retransmission fees, CBSAA should have been free from the start.)

[Stan S]

There’s the discount. The current base subscription price has been $5.99/month and includes live streaming of your local CBS affiliate. For new P+ subs and existing AA subs after June, the new basic price will be $4.99/month but no local CBS station streaming. 

It wasn’t clear if the CBS live stream will continue in the $9.99/month tier.

It is.

Why is there now a separate CBS app that looks like the Paramount+ app but isn’t? And it looks like they moved all the current network content over to the CBS app. For example, I tried to find the Oprah interview for my mom on Paramount+ and it wasn’t there. But the CBS app had it on the front page. 

So much for corporate synergy.

Having a stand-alone app for the broadcast network puts CBS more or less on par with its peers:

...but yes, it makes no sense from a marketing standpoint.  Feels like they could have just done a free tier of P+ and accomplished the same thing.

[Mark Jeffries]

There are two other free streamers owned by the OTA networks:  PlutoTV is owned by ViacomCBS and has CBSN and linear channels of ViacomCBS content, if not day-after streaming.  Fox Media owns Tubi, a traditional free streamer--due to existing contracts it can only do day-after streaming of unscripted properties owned by Fox (notably "The Masked Singer").  Everything else on the network (including the unscripted shows) is still day-after on Hulu.

Also, older still-running CW titles are still on Netflix and CBS has the right to put the titles they own like "Walker" on Paramount+.

There are still many, many programs available on CW Seed.  Most notably Whose Line, Schitt's Creek and Pushing Daisies.  It also streams programs 'live,' though they all look like repeats to me.
