Paramount+ is going the YouTube, TikTok and Netflix way: What David Ellison is changing before WBD takeover | Company Business News
Paramount+ is rolling out new features to hold viewers before it buys Warner Bros. Discovery for $110 billion. A free tier, micro-dramas and interactive ads are planned, with users registering by email. This affects advertisers and streaming viewers, since nearly 6% of subscribers cancelled in August. Business owners should watch for cheaper ad options on these free tiers.
Key Statutory Highlights
- Paramount+ plans a free tier, micro-dramas and new interactive ad formats to lift engagement.
- Nearly 6% of its subscribers cancelled in August, and over a third were light viewers in June.
- Paramount settled litigation with a California-led group of states and the Writers Guild of America over its $110 billion Warner Bros. Discovery deal.
Actionable Advice for Taxpayers / Founders:If you advertise online, ask your media buyer to check whether the new ad-supported tier suits your audience and budget, and wait for confirmed launch dates before committing money.
