Streaming services and their parent companies are exploring ways to streamline their operations in the face of current challenges. For instance, HBO Max and Discovery+ have merged, and Disney+ is set to incorporate Hulu’s content. As previously reported in February, Paramount+ is also considering a merger.
According to a CNBC report, the merger between Paramount+ and Showtime app is set to happen on June 27, although there was no previous reported date.
Starting next month, the new Paramount+ with Showtime will replace the standalone Showtime app by the end of the year. The integration will also lead to the inclusion of Paramount+ content on the Showtime television network.
The consolidation of platforms will contribute to reducing content expenses, an area of concern for media companies seeking to achieve profitability in streaming.
