Back in May, top U.S. pay TV operator Charter Communications reached a broad-reaching carriage deal with Paramount Global that, in addition to the media conglomerate’s linear channels, also let the cable company deliver direct-to-consumer streaming platforms to its subscribers at no additional cost.
On Thursday, Charter announced that the ad-supported iteration of Paramount's flagship streaming service, Paramount Plus Essentials, regularly priced at $5.99 a month, is now available to subscribers of its Spectrum TV Select and Mi Plan Latino packages at no additional cost.
