To ensure you’re maximizing your value with streaming services whose prices are consistently increasing, it’s important to carefully select the subscriptions you maintain. However, it might be challenging since not all platforms highlight their best features prominently. Occasionally, you may need to explore thoroughly to uncover all the benefits a subscription service has to offer.
Paramount+ is one of those streaming services that offers more than meets the eye. We took the time to explore its hidden gems and compiled a list of tips, tricks, and extra features that make your Paramount+ experience even more enjoyable.
An Actual Live TV Network
As a passionate cinephile, I must say that while most streaming platforms now offer some form of live channels, they’re primarily self-programmed by the streamer. Exceptional services like Peacock air certain network TV shows live on their platform. However, what sets Paramount+ apart is its unique offering: it’s the only major service that continually broadcasts a full-fledged television network channel.
If you own a Paramount+ account, you can enjoy CBS as one of your channels. Whatever is currently being broadcasted live on CBS, you’ll find it streaming in real time on its Paramount+ platform. Fresh episodes of shows like Survivor or Matlock will air live on Paramount+ through the CBS channel before they become available for on-demand viewing the next morning.
More Live Sports Than You Realize
Having CBS integrated significantly strengthens Paramount+’s position when it comes to live sports broadcasting, given that CBS network hosts several high-profile sporting events. For instance, it offers NFL games every week during the football season, a considerable amount of college football matches, and all major games from the annual NCAA March Madness tournament.
For soccer enthusiasts, Paramount+ could serve as an ideal platform, offering a streaming experience that includes Serie A, UEFA Champions League, along with numerous other international soccer leagues and competitions.
An Entire Second Streaming Service (Sort of)
As a film enthusiast, I’d eagerly share that by choosing the right Paramount+ subscription, you’ll have access to not just one but TWO whole streaming services under one roof!
Initially, Showtime functioned independently as a unique, additional subscription service alongside its premium cable network. Over time, Showtime was combined with Paramount+, though it’s only the joint Paramount+ and Showtime subscription – now a preferred streaming choice – that remains available.
Under the Showtime subscription, you’ll have full access to all Showtime content, as well as their original series such as Yellowjackets and Dexter.
Earlier Streaming Premieres for Big Movies
With cinemas resuming the launch of their major productions, it’s understandable that premieres on streaming platforms are now playing secondary roles. It turns out that many blockbuster movies perform better on streaming services than those exclusively released on them, benefiting all forms of media distribution.
It’s important to mention that when it comes to the big studio services, Paramount+ tends to lead the way in quickly releasing major films on streaming platforms. For instance, “Gladiator II” became available on Paramount+ as early as January, while “Moana 2” from Disney won’t be accessible on Disney+ until March 12th. These two movies were only released a few days apart last November.
Access to Some Special Features
Regarding significant launches, streaming platforms are now making some high-profile films available online, offering exclusive bonus content similar to what you’d find on Blu-ray versions.
not all major Paramount films streaming on Paramount+ come with an abundance of extra features, but there’s still enough to engage film enthusiasts. Some notable ones are “Gladiator II” and “Sonic the Hedgehog 2”.
The Wider Yellowstone/Taylor Sheridan Universe
The streaming situation for “Yellowstone” is a bit puzzling as it airs on the Paramount Network, yet can only be streamed on Peacock. An exclusive agreement has been made to keep this popular series on NBCUniversal’s streaming service indefinitely, but this isn’t true for the rest of Taylor Sheridan’s television universe.
Paramount+ has compensated for the gap left by Yellowstone by adding all shows within the franchise, along with Taylor Sheridan’s other productions, to its collection. This includes 1923 (the latest season is currently airing), 1883, Lawmen: Bass Reeves, Tulsa King, Lioness, Landman, and Mayor of Kingstown.
One of the Biggest Kids TV and Movie Libraries
It’s commonly perceived that Disney+ serves as the primary streaming platform for families and those with young children. However, it’s worth noting that Paramount+ could potentially be Disney’s most formidable competitor in this area.
Due to Nickelodeon’s extensive library, Paramount+ offers an abundance of children’s content compared to most other streaming platforms available today. From beloved shows like “SpongeBob SquarePants” and “Paw Patrol”, Paramount+ caters to a wide range of age groups in the kids demographic. Additionally, they provide several 24/7 channels specifically designed for young viewers.
