Paramount+ will join a crowded streaming field, with other newer entries including Disney+

Paramount+ was previously called CBS All Access — though ViacomCBS announced the rebrand last September. The service is priced at $6 per month. According to its website, Paramount+ will comprise live sports, breaking news, and “a mountain of entertainment” — including shows and movies from across the ViacomCBS portfolio as well as all-new originals.
