Paramount & Comcast Renew Distribution Agreements

Paramount Global has clinched new distribution agreements with Comcast to keep its brands on the Xfinity platforms.

The multiyear renewals mean continued carriage of Paramount’s networks, including CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Network, plus access to the streaming services Paramount+, Pluto TV and BET+. Comcast has the right to make Paramount+ with SHOWTIME available to qualifying Xfinity customers.

“We are pleased to renew and expand upon our broad partnership with Comcast,” said Ray Hopkins, president of Paramount Distribution. “This new deal ensures that our dynamic portfolio of popular brands and premium programming continue to reach and entertain our valued audiences everywhere.”

“Paramount Global is a valued partner, and we are excited to continue providing Xfinity customers with access to their traditional and streaming content across our industry-leading entertainment platforms,” said John Dixon, senior VP of entertainment at Comcast Cable. “This agreement gives us the ability to offer customers more choice and flexibility in what they want to watch and how they want to watch it.”
