Advertising Tier Will Arrive in Select Markets In 2024.
24 October, 2023: Paramount+, the global streaming service from Paramount (NASDAQ: PARA, PARAA), today announced the international rollout of Premium and Advertising tier subscriptions to provide consumers with a variety of choices on how they would like to access the service’s Mountain of Entertainment.
The Premium plan is set to launch in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico on Thursday, 16 November, bringing Paramount’s blockbusters, exclusive originals, and hit shows to new heights with premium quality formats, including 4K UHD, HDR10, and Dolby Vision. Premium subscribers can also utilise four concurrent streams (instead of the two streams that come with the standard plan), unlocking entertainment for the whole family to enjoy at the same time. Additional markets will follow.
The advertising tier will roll out in select international markets, including Australia and Canada, starting in 2024. In Mexico and Brazil, Paramount+ will continue to offer the Mobile tier instead, which launched in April.
“After expanding our footprint to more than 45 markets last year, we are focused on scaling our business and providing customer choice. Following the launch of the Mobile plan in Mexico and Brazil, the introduction of the Premium and Ad-supported plans will give us the ability to better serve different consumer segments by providing multiple pricing options while also tapping into tremendous opportunities among our advertising and brand partners,” said Marco Nobili, Executive Vice President, and International General Manager for Paramount+.
