STAMFORD, Conn. & NEW YORK—In a notable example of how pay TV operators are bulking up their streaming offerings and bundling them with traditional cable channels, Charter Communications, Inc. and Paramount Global have announced that the ad-supported version of Paramount’s direct-to-consumer streaming service, Paramount+ Essential, is now available in all Spectrum TV Select and Mi Plan Latino packages nationwide at no additional cost.
As part of the companies’ new multi-year distribution agreement, Spectrum video customers can immediately begin streaming over 40,000 episodes of shows and movies, including top-rated original series like “Tulsa King,” “Special Ops: Lioness,” “SpongeBob SquarePants,” and “Big Brother,” plus live sports on CBS, through the Xumo Stream Box or any other Paramount+ supported device.
