Paramount+ from all media accounts has not been profitable and has been a source of concern for Viacom, so even a moderate success on that platform would be notable.

I've heard this and I wonder why they seem to be struggling so much. They have a pretty big and diverse library. I do think one aspect I find confusing is how Showtime is within the app, but separate which makes it difficult to find those shows/movies. The app definitely isn't very user friendly and doesn't highlight just what they have.

I wonder if CBS Studios will push this on Paramount+/PlutoTV (though I think they're getting rid of the latter) internationally? 

Wait, what?  CBS is getting rid of PlutoTV?  Oh, HELL no!

I'd assume they would want to fold it into one platform, but yeah, it's actually my most used streaming app. I wouldn't follow it to behind a paywall though lol.

I would assume Beyond the Gates would do well in the streaming era. Especially on Paramount+/YouTube, and I can only assume Paramount/CBS will be pulling their best efforts to push the serial on streaming.

When I look at Paramount+ (logged out), I do see Y&R/B&B pretty predominately.

Apparently Netflix France have ordered a musical (!) daily soap opera and has given it a direct order for 90 episodes. So I definitively think it's a question of time before we see a daily soap opera that's specifically developed for streaming at this point.

While that may one day happen, similar to Amazon's shift to FAST by integrating Freevee into Prime Video across all users, and later disbanding the Freevee brand altogether, currently there are no active plans to do the same with Paramount+ and Pluto TV, at least no current reports of such plans.

It would make sense to have airings on BET in the evening. 

Is BET Viacom?

I think they'd have to be real stupid to shutter Pluto. I don't see that happening right away.

I am very curious about this musical soap opera for Netflix lol.

Viacom is defunct.

BET and CBS both fall under the umbrella of Paramount

 

Just now, Marco Dane said:

Yes

Viacom doesnt exist anymore

I think that would be a smart, and decent idea, honestly.

Pluto isn’t doing that well (was the top non-YT free service but has been well eclipsed by Roku Channel and Tubi over the course of the past couple of years), but part of it is that Paramount+ is where corporate attention is focused.

I don't want to derail the thread, but in case anyone else was curious about this it's apparently this. Maybe we can set something up for it in the Foreign section when it gets closer if it looks half-decent (I am curious about the musical elements, which remind me of Jacques Rivette's musical Up Down Fragile).

Oh wow, thanks Vee! And if not in the Foreign section, perhaps in the Netflix one!
