ViacomCBS Streaming Service to Launch Internationally Next Year

ViacomCBS plans to launch a streaming service internationally in early 2021, with a focus first on Australia, Latin America and the Nordic countries, it said Thursday. It said programming on the subscription VOD service will include some Showtime series, CBS All Access originals, Paramount movies, content from such networks as MTV and Comedy Central, and originals from ViacomCBS International Studios. It said that rollout parallels the ongoing expansion outside the U.S. of distribution of its Pluto TV free streaming service.
