It’s hard to keep up with all the streaming services available today. Paramount Plus is a name that may not be as well known as other brands, but this streaming service is definitely making strides in choosing to be a leader.
Paramount Plus is essentially the result of a merger between CBS and Viacom in 2019. In other words, it’s CBS All Access and Viacom properties combined into one service.
Today, almost all modern smart TVs have their own operating system, thanks to which you can install various apps, including streaming services such as Netflix, Disney Plus, and others.
