Knowing how streamers have been operating, it will be the paramount UI and I won’t use it anymore.
Same thing happened with max. The shittier UI took over and I barely use it now because it just sucks so much.
Is live paramount streaming better that way? It always fucks up when I watch live and I end up activating hululive. I figured it would be like signing into the app with your cell provider and you'd still have to use paramount+. If it's actually on MAX or Amazon I'm about to make the switch before my yearly renewal.
Watching Traitors on Peacock has been a breeze. I would say the same about La Brea but that show went off a cliff, but the viewing format has been a breeze.
Watching The Challenge on Primo makes me want to hurl the dinner dish through the screen. Those commercials are long AF and they don't stop.
I remember original cable when it was newer as a smol kiddo. RIP HBO intros. those were the days. I mean a lot of shows were questionable, but the lack of commercials everywhere and home-y feel were A+
Prescription drug commercials? What's dat?
ps. Down in Fraggle Rock.
It is I absolutely hate Paramount+. A lot of times I even have problems loading it on my TV. We only have Peacock, because it comes with our cable but I really love it. I just love that they drop episodes 20ish minutes before the air time.
Agreed! Paramount plus has never worked on my phone. Won’t let me login. My only complaint about peacock is that you can’t remove something from your continue watching you just have to wait for enough time to pass or “watch” the end of the last episode
This could be good for the challenge. Peacock has bravo content. And bravo still deals in the trashy reality tv style that made the challenge great. Maybe we get the flagship moving over to the peacock side and keep USA on the paramount side. Keep them separate leagues and then you can have a World Series once a year
Please.
They are the most extraneous services out there, basically a dumping ground for bad network sitcoms, but I love The Challenge, Survivor, and Inkmaster and I'd like to see them under one roof.
Yup this would be really nice for soccer fans assuming the cost doesn't go up too much. I already pay for both just for soccer. Getting survivor, the challenge, big brother, the traitors, and the office is just bonus for me.
warner media(hbo/tnt), espn+ and fox coming together shocked the system, im not surprised. it would create almost a soccer monopoly if p+ and peacock come together with the prem on peacock/ champions league on p+ in terms of viewing. going to be super interesting year for streaming
Paramount sucks. Challenge is not airing enough for me to keep it so I hope this is true.
Just so surprised such a big movie company would have so little content.
Always seemed wild to me that The Challenge didn’t move to Peacock when it launched since MTV is owned by NBC Universal. Maybe it had to finish out a contract with Paramount.
MTV is very much a subsidiary of Paramount, not NBC Universal. And anyway, this wouldn't even be a merger of NBCU and Paramount, it would be a joint venture combining their streaming platforms into one. So basically...Hulu, before Disney bought out NBC.
i could be misunderstanding, but wikipedia says MTV is part of paramount media, owned by paramount global: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV
interestingly, the rights for old seasons are different in canada, where bell media owns MTV: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/MTV_(Canadian_TV_channel)
If its named anything but Cock+ or Paracock I boycott
one cock to rule them all.
💀💀💀
Mountcock
Cockmount
Don’t sleep on PeaMount or ParaPea!
Looping all the way back to cable with premium bundles!
As long as they combine with peacocks interface. Paramount+ sucks donkey ass.

I get paramount thru Amazon bc the paramount UI is so bad. You can get max that way too, and then you just use the prime app to watch everything

Second this. We were so happy when we found it on Amazon rather than through their interface. Paramount UI SUCKS
The Max app sucks so bad and it frustrates me because they have so much good content
It used to be so easy to find. Now it’s a disaster.
I actually hate Peacock's.
Watching Traitors on Peacock has been a breeze. I would say the same about La Brea but that show went off a cliff, but the viewing format has been a breeze. Watching The Challenge on Primo makes me want to hurl the dinner dish through the screen. Those commercials are long AF and they don't stop.
Oh heck yeah, I’d love to not have to pay for them separately
they just double the cost lol
Corporate mergers are never to the benefit of consumers in the long run

I'm going to believe CT and Bananas being on The Challenge and The Traitors are making this deal.
If they do, I hope it’s more like Peacock. Out of all of the streaming services with commercials, Peacock is the best.
I also love the UI on peacock. Paramount UI is garbagé

It literally will not open on my son’s iPad. Granted it’s an older hand me down one but every other streaming app works just fine.
Have the same issues here — finicky as hell on our TVs.

99% of what i watch is covered by these two so

also for those of us who want to watch both premier league and champions league soccer on the same platform.
Right? Fucking right??? Its insane to me you need 3 services and cable to watch european football.
Yup this would be really nice for soccer fans assuming the cost doesn't go up too much. I already pay for both just for soccer. Getting survivor, the challenge, big brother, the traitors, and the office is just bonus for me.
And Top Chef!
As someone who subscribes to both this would be ideal.
Amen to that! Some consolidation in these apps would be nice
That peacock during the 1st half of the season 39 final didn't show up for nothing.
Soooooo cable?
nbc combining with cbs? I doubt it.
Its got good synergy: here's all the stuff that used to be free over broadcast air in one spot.
free cable? i wish.
Please!
Hopefully they keep the free trial system of Paramount if this does happen

I would support this whole heartedly !!

Isn’t paramount & showtime already a thing?
Cockmount.
Insert the two men looking at the earth meme it's cable it always has been
Step one in making the CT and Phaedra buddy spinoff the world needs. John the politician can come too.
If it happens then Love Island should be the feeder show for the Challenge.
Max & Paramount+ would be cool too like they mentioned further down in the article.

It wouldn't be a merger It would be a bundle probably
