Paramount and Charter Spectrum Sign Multiyear Deal Including Paramount+

Paramount Global and Charter Communications have signed a multi-year carriage deal that keeps Paramount's networks available to Charter customers and includes free access to the Paramount+ Essential and BET+ Essential tiers for Spectrum TV subscribers. The deal also allows Charter to market Paramount's direct-to-consumer products to its internet-only customers, with revenue sharing for new subscriptions and upgrades. This agreement comes at a crucial time for Paramount, which is undergoing leadership changes and potential acquisition talks. Unlike Disney's recent deal with Charter, Paramount's agreement includes all its current cable networks.
