The Golden Globes will remain on CBS and Paramount Plus for five more years, according to a new deal between Paramount and Dick Clark Productions, which owns the awards ceremony. The new agreement kicks off with the January 2025 broadcast, keeping the Globes on CBS and Paramount Plus through January 2029.
CBS picked up the rights to the Golden Globes last year and aired its first edition of the film and television awards show on Sunday, January 7. The 81st Annual Golden Globe Awards averaged nearly 10 million viewers, according to Nielsen’s live plus seven day national ratings, up nearly 50% from last year and the show’s largest audience since its pre-pandemic airing in 2020. That broadcast also was the third-largest live-streamed CBS special event ever on Paramount Plus in terms of reach, according to Paramount. Broadcast TV is increasingly reliant on sports (especially football) and live events to draw big audiences.
