You can get both plans as part of a bundle with Showtime, Paramount’s premium channel, for either $12 or $15 a month.īoth services give you access to all shows from CBS, more than 3,500 episodes from BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount, the Smithsonian Channel, and other jointly owned properties. The pricier tier also lets you watch shows in 4K HDR (including Dolby Vision), and get mobile downloads. In addition to the advertisements, the other big difference is that you don’t get your live local CBS station (except for NFL games) with the Essential plan. Or you can watch ad-free on the Premium plan for $10 a month ($100 if you pay by the year). If you can live with a few advertisements, the Essentials plan costs only $5 per month ($50 for a year if you pay up front).
