Save 50% on a one-year Paramount Plus subscription

If you missed this year’s Super Bowl, you missed a pretty impressive number of commercials for Paramount Plus, the new streaming service that launched on March 4. It will replace CBS All Access, adding more shows, movies and live TV to this service’s roster. .

Price tag: $ 6 per month or $ 60 per year for the limited advertising plan, or $ 10 per month or $ 100 per year for no advertising. These are competitive rates, in line with what you would pay, say, Hulu.

However, for a limited time, there is a much better deal: Save 50% on any of the Paramount Plus annual plans when you apply the promotional code PARAMOUNTPLUS. Note that you will actually be signing up for CBS All Access; your account will switch to the new service on March 4. This offer is available until March 3.

Your first year, then, will only cost you $ 30 if you go for the limited ads; $ 50 if you take the road without ads. (My two cents: Life is too short to spend commercials. Well worth $ 20 more to literally recoup hours of time over the course of a year. This plan also gives you the ability to download shows to watch them. offline.)

After the first year, you’ll start to be billed at the regular rate – unless you cancel or can’t find another deal.

First announcement last year, Paramount Plus will feature content from various brands of ViacomCBS. Available TV channels include MTV, BET, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon and CBS, and the service will bring selections from the Paramount Pictures film studio. Live news and sports, as well as on-demand movies and TV shows, will also be available.

CBS All Access is already home to a wide range of acclaimed originals, including The Good Fight, The Twilight Zone, and a growing number of shows from the Star Trek universe. The SpongeBob: Sponge on the Run movie will debut on March 4; an iCarly restart is in progress.

Thoughts? Are you ready to add an additional streaming service to your roster if you can get it for this price?
