TORONTO, March 19,
2024 /CNW/ -- Paramount+, the global streaming
service from Paramount (NASDAQ: PARA) (NASDAQ: PARAA), today
announced launch timing and pricing for its international
ad-supported subscription offering, the "Basic (with ads)" plan.
The plan will roll out in April in Canada and in June in Australia, priced at $6.99 CAD and AUD, respectively. The Paramount+
"Premium" plan will also roll out in Europe, beginning with France this month. Launching additional
subscription plans will give international Paramount+ subscribers
even more flexibility in choosing the option that best suits their
needs.
With the "Basic (with ads)" plan, fans in Canada and Australia can access the complete Mountain of
Entertainment™ that Paramount+ offers at a low, competitive price
point. This includes all the most anticipated series and
films on the platform, such as the first and second
seasons of HALO, based on the iconic Xbox franchise,
the final season of STAR TREK: DISCOVERY, the new
eight-episode original series A GENTLEMAN IN MOSCOW, the new season of MAYOR OF
KINGSTOWN, PAW PATROL: THE MIGHTY
MOVIE, KNUCKLES, the latest in the cinematic world of
Sonic the Hedgehog from Paramount Pictures and SEGA of America, as
well as the A-League/AFC Champions League and more in Australia, among others.
After last year's launch of the "Premium" tier in Australia, Brazil, Canada, and Mexico, Paramount+ continues to expand its
offering in Europe, starting with
France this month. The "Premium"
plan brings 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 stream on up to four devices at once,
twice the number available with the "Standard" plan, unlocking
entertainment for the whole family to enjoy simultaneously. In
France, the "Premium" plan is
priced at €10.99/month (or €97.99/year).
Marco Nobili, EVP
and International General Manager of Paramount+ stated:
"Our pricing strategy and a market-by-market approach to our
offering is key to providing customers choice, flexibility and
value. The 'Premium' tier has demonstrated great success in
Canada, Australia and Latin
America, and I am confident this offering will enable us to
reach new subscribers in Europe,
as well. As we launch 'Basic (with ads)' in our international
markets, we can also offer our incredible content at an even more
competitive price to ultimately increase our reach and expand our
advertising offerings to partners. The 'Basic' tier allows us to
continue to lead on value by providing consumers an even more
affordable entertainment choice for the entire family."
Lee Sears, President of
International Markets Advertising Sales, commented: "By
introducing the 'Basic (with ads)' plan in Canada and Australia, we will enhance our value to our
partners by enabling advertisers to buy across our global
franchises, series and films through our digital platform, EyeQ,
alongside the breadth of Paramount's premium video inventory in a
comprehensive and impactful way."
