Paramount International Networks

Paramount International Networks is the international division of Paramount Skydance (formerly Paramount Global), responsible for managing the company's television networks, studios, and streaming operations outside the United States.^[1] This division operates through regional subsidiaries, such as Paramount Networks EMEAA (Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia) and Paramount Networks Americas, which handle the localization, production, and distribution of brands including MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and VH1 in over 180 countries.^[2]^[3] In addition to linear television channels, Paramount International Networks supports the global rollout of Paramount+, the company's direct-to-consumer streaming service, and collaborates on original content production tailored to local markets.^[4]^[3] Leadership of the division falls under the broader international markets group, led by Kevin MacLellan as President of International and Global Content Distribution since August 2025.^[5] As of 2025, amid the merger with Skydance Media completed in August, the division has faced cost-cutting measures, including the shutdown of several channels in markets like Poland and Hungary by the end of the year, affecting brands such as Nickelodeon, TeenNick, and Comedy Central.^[6]^[2]^[7]

History

Formation and early development

MTV Networks International was established in 1987 as a division of MTV Networks, a subsidiary of Viacom International Inc., to oversee the distribution of content outside the United States and facilitate global expansion.^[8] This initiative marked the beginning of MTV's international presence, driven by the recognition of untapped markets for music video programming beyond North America.^[9] The division's formation coincided with the launch of its first overseas channel, MTV Europe, on August 1, 1987, based in Amsterdam and broadcast via satellite to reach households across Western Europe.^[10] Early partnerships played a crucial role in these initial expansions. In Europe, MTV Networks International collaborated with local broadcasters and satellite providers to distribute content, initially through syndication deals that allowed music videos and programs to air on existing European networks before the full pan-regional channel took hold.^[8] This was followed by localized versions in other regions during the 1990s: MTV Asia debuted on September 15, 1991, as a joint venture with the STAR TV Network, targeting Southeast Asia and the Indian subcontinent with a mix of English and regional language programming.^[11] In Latin America, MTV Latinoamérica launched on October 1, 1993, focusing on Spanish-language content to serve South and Central American audiences, supported by partnerships with regional cable operators.^[12] These efforts established a foundation for broader reach, with syndication agreements in Europe and Asia enabling the distribution of U.S.-originated music videos to local stations prior to dedicated channel rollouts.^[8] The initial focus of MTV Networks International centered on music video channels, emphasizing youth-oriented entertainment that mirrored the U.S. model's blend of videos, artist interviews, and live events.^[9] Key strategies for adapting U.S. content involved localization to resonate with diverse cultural contexts, such as incorporating regional music genres and languages while retaining the core MTV brand identity.^[13] Bill Roedy, who joined shortly after the 1987 launch and became a pivotal executive as president of MTV Europe and later MTVI, championed the "think global, act local" approach, which prioritized partnerships with local talent and content creators to customize programming for international audiences.^[10] This method helped bridge American pop culture with regional tastes, fostering early growth in viewership across Europe and Asia through targeted syndication and on-air adaptations.^[14]

Key acquisitions and expansions

In 2007, Viacom entered the Indian market through the formation of Viacom18, a 50/50 joint venture with TV18 Group, aimed at producing television, film, and digital media content, including the launch of a Hindi-language entertainment channel.^[15]^[16] Subsequent investments in Viacom18 included expansions into regional channels like Colors Marathi and digital platforms, strengthening its position in India's growing media landscape.^[17] Viacom expanded its European footprint in 2014 by acquiring Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited, the UK's fifth terrestrial television network, from Northern & Shell for £450 million in cash.^[18]^[19] The deal included the My5 video-on-demand streaming service, marking Viacom's first ownership of a major free-to-air broadcaster outside the U.S. and enhancing its content distribution in the UK market.^[20] In 2017, amid Network 10's financial difficulties and voluntary administration, CBS Corporation—Viacom's future merger partner—acquired the Australian free-to-air broadcaster for approximately A$649 million, including assumption of debts and commitments to creditors.^[21]^[22] This purchase provided CBS with a key platform in Australia's competitive TV market, reaching millions of households and integrating Viacom's international content brands post-2019 merger.^[23] Paramount International Networks grew its presence in Latin America starting with the 2016 acquisition of Telefe, Argentina's leading free-to-air network, from Telefónica for $345 million.^[24]^[25] Telefe, which reaches 95% of Argentine households, bolstered Viacom's regional production capabilities and content library, including international pay-TV channels.^[26] This was followed by the 2021 acquisition of Chilevisión from WarnerMedia, achieving full ownership of the Chilean broadcaster and further solidifying Spanish-language operations across the Americas.^[27]^[28]

Rebranding and corporate mergers

In 2011, following the 2005 split of the original Viacom into separate entities, the international division of the new Viacom Inc. was reorganized and renamed Viacom International Media Networks (VIMN) to oversee global operations of brands like MTV, Nickelodeon, and Comedy Central outside the United States.^[29] This restructuring aimed to streamline international expansion and content distribution, with key appointments such as Robert Bakish as president and CEO to lead the division's growth in emerging markets.^[30] The 2019 merger between Viacom Inc. and CBS Corporation, announced on August 13 and completed on December 4, reunited the companies under the ViacomCBS banner, creating a combined entity with enhanced global content assets valued at approximately $30 billion.^[31] As part of this consolidation, VIMN was rebranded as ViacomCBS Networks International (VCNI), integrating CBS's international holdings to bolster the division's portfolio across linear TV, digital platforms, and streaming services.^[32] The merger facilitated the incorporation of CBS assets into international operations, notably through joint ventures for CBS-branded channels in Europe, such as CBS Reality and CBS Justice, which are co-owned with AMC Networks International in a 50-50 partnership managed by CBS Studios International.^[33] This integration expanded VCNI's reach, combining Viacom's youth-oriented brands with CBS's broader entertainment slate to target diverse international audiences. In February 2022, ViacomCBS underwent a comprehensive rebranding to Paramount Global, emphasizing the iconic Paramount name and its streaming ambitions, with the international arm renamed Paramount International Networks to reflect unified global branding.^[34] This shift marked the culmination of corporate consolidations, positioning the networks division to leverage Paramount+'s international rollout alongside traditional cable and broadcast assets.^[35]

Recent changes post-Skydance merger

In 2023, Paramount International Networks divested its 30% stake in the Italian animation studio Rainbow S.p.A., which it had held since 2011, selling it back to the company's founder Iginio Straffi to refocus on core operations.^[36] This move concluded a long-term partnership that had supported co-productions for Nickelodeon channels internationally. Similarly, by early 2024, the division fully exited its stake in Viacom18, India's joint venture media company, after holding an initial 50% interest from 2007 that had diminished to 13.01% following prior adjustments with Reliance Industries; the remaining shares were sold to Reliance for $517 million in March 2024.^[37]^[38] These divestitures streamlined Paramount's international portfolio amid shifting market dynamics in Europe and Asia. Leadership instability at the parent company impacted international operations in April 2024, when Paramount Global CEO Bob Bakish resigned amid ongoing merger discussions and financial pressures, leading to an interim "Office of the CEO" comprising division heads to guide the transition.^[39]^[40] This change facilitated a more decentralized approach to managing global assets, including international networks. The pivotal shift occurred in August 2025 with the completion of the merger between Skydance Media and Paramount Global, forming Paramount Skydance Corporation and initiating aggressive cost reductions targeting $3 billion in annual savings through operational efficiencies and asset optimization, as updated in November 2025.^[6]^[41]^[42] For Paramount International Networks, this merger emphasized streamlining content distribution and regional partnerships to adapt to streaming dominance. In late October and early November 2025, Paramount Skydance executed widespread layoffs exceeding 2,000 employees globally, with significant impacts on international TV distribution teams responsible for licensing and syndication of brands like MTV and Nickelodeon abroad.^[43]^[44] Concurrently, the company reorganized its cable and linear TV units under George Cheeks, chair of TV media, who assumed oversight of key international-facing brands such as MTV, Comedy Central, BET, and Nickelodeon to drive reinvention and franchise leveraging in global markets.^[45]^[46] These actions aimed to enhance agility in international operations while ongoing regional activities continue in major territories. As part of the post-merger cost-cutting, Paramount announced in July and October 2025 the shutdown of multiple linear channels by December 31, 2025, in various international markets. This includes Nickelodeon, TeenNick, and Comedy Central in Poland and Hungary, as well as MTV music channels (MTV Hits, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, MTV Classic, and MTV Dance) across Europe (UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Austria, Poland, Hungary), Australia, and Brazil, shifting focus to streaming and core brands.^[2]^[7]^[43]

Organizational Structure

Divisions and regional operations

Paramount International Networks operates through primary geographic divisions that manage its global portfolio of television channels and digital services outside the United States. The largest of these is Paramount Networks EMEAA, which covers Europe, the Middle East, Africa, and select Asian markets. Headquartered in London at 17-29 Hawley Crescent in Camden Town, this division oversees content distribution and operations across more than 100 channels reaching audiences in over 180 countries and territories.^[47]^[48] It focuses on localized programming, including dubs and adaptations of core brands like MTV, while integrating digital platforms such as Paramount+ for streaming. Following the 2024 sale of Paramount's 13% stake in Viacom18 Media Private Limited to Reliance Industries for $517 million, EMEAA's Asian operations have shifted to emphasize non-India markets, such as Southeast Asia, through partnerships and direct channel management.^[37] Paramount Networks Americas serves as the key division for the Western Hemisphere, with operational headquarters in Miami, Florida. This unit primarily targets Latin America, including countries like Brazil and Mexico, alongside Canada and the U.S. Hispanic market. It emphasizes local productions, dubbed content, and regional adaptations to cater to diverse linguistic and cultural audiences, managing a suite of channels under brands such as Nickelodeon and Comedy Central. The division's strategies include collaborations with local broadcasters to enhance market penetration and viewer engagement.^[49] Additional sub-units within the structure include dedicated operations for the UK and Australia, functioning as specialized hubs under the broader EMEAA and Americas umbrellas, respectively. The UK operations, also based in London, handle localized content for British and Irish audiences, while Australian efforts, integrated with Network 10, focus on free-to-air and streaming distribution in the Asia-Pacific region. These sub-units support tailored programming and regulatory compliance in their markets.^[50] Across all regions, Paramount International Networks employs a diversified revenue model combining advertising sales, subscription fees from direct-to-consumer services like Paramount+, and content licensing agreements with third-party platforms and broadcasters. In 2024, advertising and subscription revenues from international operations contributed significantly to the company's TV media segment, which generated approximately $18.8 billion overall.^[51]^[52] This approach allows flexibility in adapting to regional market dynamics, such as higher reliance on advertising in emerging markets and subscriptions in mature ones.

Leadership and headquarters

Following the completion of the Skydance Media merger with Paramount Global in August 2025, the leadership of Paramount International Networks has been integrated into the broader TV media structure under Paramount Skydance. George Cheeks serves as Chair of TV Media, overseeing broadcast, cable networks, and production operations, which encompass the international cable brands operated by Paramount International Networks.^[53]^[54] In this role, Cheeks reports to company CEO David Ellison and president Jeff Shell, ensuring alignment between domestic and international strategies.^[55] Programming leadership for key international brands falls under Laurel Weir, who was appointed to lead content strategy for MTV, Nickelodeon, Comedy Central, and related cable networks as part of the post-merger reorganization announced in November 2025. Weir oversees global programming initiatives, drawing on her prior experience as EVP and Head of Programming, Strategic Insights & Research for Paramount Media Networks. Regional international presidents manage operations in specific areas—such as EMEAA, Americas, and ANZ—reporting directly to Cheeks within the global TV media hierarchy.^[54]^[46] The primary headquarters for Paramount International Networks is now in Los Angeles following the post-merger shift, serving as the central hub for global oversight, while regional headquarters are located in London for EMEAA operations and Miami for the Americas. Additional key offices support residual activities in Asia and the Pacific, including Sydney. These locations facilitate localized content adaptation and distribution across more than 180 countries.^[56]^[57] The 2025 layoffs, initiated in late October as part of cost-cutting measures post-merger, significantly impacted the executive team, with approximately 2,000 roles eliminated company-wide in the initial round, including several in international distribution. An additional approximately 1,600 roles were cut in November 2025. Notable departures included Teri Fleming, EVP and Head of Marketing for Paramount Global Content Distribution, alongside other senior staff in TV distribution and operations, leading to a streamlined structure focused on efficiency. These changes, which followed the exit of former CEO Bob Bakish in early 2024, have reshaped reporting lines to prioritize integrated global content delivery.^[43]^[58]^[44]^[59]

Production and content creation arms

Paramount Television International Studios (PTIS), rebranded from ViacomCBS International Studios in 2023, serves as the primary in-house production arm for Paramount International Networks, specializing in the development and production of scripted and unscripted content tailored for global streaming and broadcast platforms.^[60]^[61] This unit focuses on premium scripted series for Paramount+, including adaptations of international formats like Sexy Beast and original local stories such as the UK series The Flatshare, while also supporting unscripted programming to enhance regional relevance.^[61] PTIS emphasizes culturally specific narratives to drive engagement across Paramount's international portfolio, collaborating with local talent to produce content that resonates in diverse markets.^[61] Regional production facilities bolster PTIS's operations by enabling localized content creation and adaptation. In November 2025, Paramount sold Chilevisión, which had previously contributed to original news, entertainment, and sports programming from facilities in Santiago, reaching 87.3% of Chile's population and supporting Paramount's expansion of Spanish-language output exceeding 5,000 hours annually across Latin America.^[62]^[63] The London office handles production for the Europe, Middle East, Africa, and Asia (EMEAA) region, focusing on dubbing, voice-over work, and localized versions of shows to align with cultural nuances in those markets.^[64] Paramount also sold its Argentine network Telefe in October 2025, which had generated over 3,500 hours of Spanish-language video content each year from studios in Buenos Aires.^[65]^[66] Co-productions form a core strategy for unscripted content, with PTIS partnering on adaptations of global formats to suit international audiences. For instance, Paramount licenses the Survivor format for local productions and co-productions, enabling versions like those in various EMEAA and Latin American markets that incorporate regional challenges and participants while maintaining the core competition structure.^[67] These collaborations extend to other unscripted series, fostering cross-border partnerships that reduce costs and amplify distribution through Paramount's networks.^[67] Overall, PTIS and its regional arms deliver more than 500 hours of original and adapted content annually, with a strong emphasis on localizing U.S. hits such as SpongeBob SquarePants, which is dubbed into over 20 languages for international feeds to ensure broad accessibility on channels like Nickelodeon. This output supports the broader distribution of produced content across Paramount's entertainment brands, enhancing viewer retention through culturally attuned programming.^[64]^[68]

Core Entertainment Brands

MTV and music-focused networks

Paramount International Networks manages a portfolio of MTV-branded channels tailored for international audiences, emphasizing music videos, artist interviews, and youth-oriented programming. These channels form the core of the company's music-focused offerings outside the United States, adapting global pop culture trends to regional tastes while maintaining the MTV brand's emphasis on visual music storytelling. In 2025, amid corporate restructuring following the merger with Skydance Media, several MTV channels faced closures, reflecting a shift toward streaming platforms like Paramount+.^[69] Localization strategies have been central to MTV's international success, involving the production of region-specific content such as local video jockeys (VJs), customized music charts, and culturally relevant events to resonate with diverse audiences. For instance, MTV employs native VJs to host shows that highlight emerging local artists and incorporate regional languages, fostering a sense of cultural ownership. Music charts are curated based on local streaming data and radio airplay, often featuring hybrid playlists that blend international hits with domestic talent. Events like the MTV Europe Music Awards (EMAs) exemplify this approach, bringing together global stars with European performers for live broadcasts that celebrate continental music scenes, though the 2025 edition was paused due to merger-related priorities.^[70] As of November 2025, MTV channels remain active in select international markets pending year-end shutdowns announced by Paramount Global, with feeds operating in regions including Latin America and parts of Asia. Notable examples include MTV Latin America, which serves Spanish- and Portuguese-speaking audiences across the Americas with dubbed content and local productions, and MTV Asia, offering feeds for countries like India and Southeast Asia that integrate Bollywood and K-pop alongside Western music. However, in Europe and the UK, channels such as MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live are scheduled to cease broadcasting on December 31, 2025, as part of broader cost-cutting measures post-Skydance merger, aiming for over $1.4 billion in savings by the end of 2025. Similar closures affect MTV in Australia, Poland, France, and Brazil, where the channel will exit pay-TV lineups by year's end. In Africa, MTV Base, a pan-African feed focused on urban and Afrobeats music, is set to shut down alongside BET Africa, with operations winding down after November 2025 announcements of office closures in Johannesburg and Lagos. This follows the closure of Paramount's offices in Johannesburg and Lagos announced on November 4, 2025.^[71]^[72]^[73]^[74] Related music brand CMT (Country Music Television) has seen its international presence diminish significantly by 2025. CMT launched feeds in the UK, Australia, and parts of Europe in the early 2000s to promote country music globally, but these operations have largely ceased. For example, CMT Australia ended broadcasts on Foxtel and Binge on June 30, 2025, following low viewership and platform shifts. CMT UK, once available via Sky, was discontinued in 2010 due to insufficient audience demand, with no relaunch by 2025. European expansions, such as CMT Germany, were short-lived and integrated into broader MTV portfolios before fading. These closures align with Paramount's focus on core U.S.-centric CMT content integrated into Paramount+.^[75]^[76] Among former channels, TMF (The Music Factory) operated as a youth-oriented music network in the Netherlands and UK under MTV Networks from 1995 until its closure in the early 2010s. TMF Netherlands shut down on September 1, 2011, replaced by MTV Music 24 to consolidate branding, while the UK version ended on October 26, 2009, amid declining linear TV viewership. MTV Base in Africa, launched in 2006 to spotlight African music genres, underwent rebranding efforts in the 2010s to emphasize local talent but is now slated for closure in 2025 without further evolution. These discontinuations highlight Paramount's strategic pivots away from niche linear channels toward digital distribution.^[77]^[78] Ownership of these MTV and music-focused networks falls under Paramount International Networks, a division of Paramount Global, with full control in most markets except for joint ventures. In India, for instance, MTV operates through Viacom18, a 50-50 partnership between Paramount Global and TV18 Broadcast Ltd., allowing localized programming like MTV India while sharing revenue and content decisions. Similar arrangements exist in select Asian and Latin American markets to navigate regulatory and partnership requirements, ensuring brand consistency across global operations.^[79]

Comedy Central and Paramount Network

Comedy Central, a flagship adult-oriented entertainment brand under Paramount International Networks, operates in more than 20 international markets, including Benelux (such as the Netherlands), Asia (encompassing countries like Singapore, Hong Kong, and China), Europe (including Germany, France, Italy, Spain, and Hungary), Latin America, Africa (such as South Africa and Nigeria), and Australia.^[80] These localized versions deliver a mix of comedy programming tailored to regional audiences, contributing to the brand's global footprint across over 150 countries.^[81] The channels primarily feature dubbed versions of popular U.S. shows, such as South Park, which forms a core part of the daily lineup in various languages to appeal to non-English-speaking viewers.^[82] In addition to imported content, international feeds include local commissions, exemplified by Stand Up, Asia!, a series showcasing stand-up comedians from Southeast Asia that premiered in 2016 and highlights regional humor.^[83] This blend of dubbed staples and original local productions allows Comedy Central to adapt its satirical and sketch-based format to cultural contexts while sharing production resources with Paramount's broader content creation arms.^[81] Paramount Network, another key adult entertainment brand, is available in select international regions, including the UK and Italy, where it focuses on drama, movies, and unscripted series.^[84] However, as of November 2025, Paramount Network in the UK and Italy is scheduled to cease broadcasting on December 31, 2025, as part of cost-cutting measures.^[69] Prior to rebranding, many European versions of these channels operated under the Paramount Comedy banner, launched in the mid-1990s—such as the UK iteration in 1995—and transitioned to Comedy Central in the late 2000s and early 2010s to align with the global brand identity.^[85] Viewership for these networks peaks in urban markets, reaching over 100 million households internationally through cable, satellite, and digital platforms.^[81]

BET and VH1

BET International operates as a key channel targeting Black audiences in the United Kingdom and Africa, with a digital-first presence in the UK via platforms like My5 and Pluto TV since 2021.^[86] In Africa, BET Africa, which operates on DStv Channel 129, is set to shut down by the end of 2025 following the closure of Paramount's African offices on November 4, 2025, delivering content focused on the Black experience across the continent and diaspora until then.^[87]^[73] VH1 continues in Europe as a pan-regional feed covering music and lifestyle programming for audiences in Europe, the Middle East, and parts of Africa, though its Latin American counterpart ceased operations in October 2020 and was replaced by the European signal in select markets. In some markets, these channels co-list with MTV to broaden music-focused offerings.^[88] Programming on these international channels emphasizes culturally relevant music and events, with BET International highlighting hip-hop and R&B genres tailored to local tastes, such as African artists and diaspora stories on BET Africa.^[87] The BET Awards, a flagship event celebrating Black excellence, are broadcast internationally, including delayed airings in the UK on Channel 5 and streaming access in Europe via BET+.^[89] VH1's lineup in Europe features lifestyle shows and music specials with a focus on urban genres, including broadcasts of past VH1 Divas concerts that spotlight female artists in R&B and pop.^[90] These adaptations prioritize content that resonates with Black and multicultural audiences, incorporating local talent alongside U.S.-originated programming. Former iterations include VH1 Classic in Europe, which specialized in classic rock and music videos before its closure in October 2020 to make way for MTV 80s.^[91] BET Asia, launched in 2013 to serve Southeast Asian markets, was discontinued in the mid-2010s amid shifting priorities toward stronger regional footholds. These networks face challenges in achieving broad global penetration similar to MTV, often limited by niche targeting of diaspora communities and competition from streaming services, which restricts their scale outside core urban and expatriate demographics.^[92] This emphasis on culturally specific content sustains loyalty among Black audiences worldwide but constrains wider mainstream appeal.^[93]

Family and Kids Brands

Nickelodeon serves as the flagship children's television network under Paramount International Networks, targeting kids aged 2-11 with a mix of animated and live-action programming. Operated through regional divisions like Paramount Networks EMEAA and Paramount Networks Americas, it delivers content via dedicated channels, streaming services, and partnerships worldwide. As of early 2025, the Nickelodeon brand reaches over 180 countries and approximately 350 million households globally, making it one of the most extensive kids' entertainment franchises.^[94] Current Nickelodeon channels operate as 24-hour feeds in numerous markets, featuring localized versions with dubbed programming to appeal to regional audiences. For instance, Nickelodeon UK, launched in 1993, broadcasts from London and includes British-dubbed episodes of popular shows like SpongeBob SquarePants and PAW Patrol. In Latin America, Nickelodeon maintains multiple feeds—such as North, Central, South, and a Portuguese-language version for Brazil—offering Spanish and Portuguese dubs of flagship series, with original regional productions occasionally integrated to reflect local cultures. These variants emphasize family-friendly content, including adventures from SpongeBob SquarePants, which has been localized in over 60 languages across international markets, and PAW Patrol, dubbed into languages like Spanish, German, and Arabic for broader accessibility.^[95]^[96]^[97] Expansions include Nick at Nite, a nighttime block for family viewing with classic sitcoms, adapted in select international markets to extend the channel's appeal beyond prime children's hours. Versions of this block exist in Latin America, Southeast Asia, and Japan, featuring dubbed reruns of shows like Friends and The Big Bang Theory to target older family members. However, many regions opt for full 24/7 kids' programming without this extension.^[98] Among former channels, Nickelodeon Austria ceased operations on June 30, 2025, with its feed merged into the broader Nickelodeon Germany service to streamline European distribution amid cost-cutting efforts following the Skydance merger. In the UK, earlier phases involved rebrands and provider shifts, such as from cable to digital platforms in the 2000s, before stabilizing as a dedicated Sky channel. In Germany, Nickelodeon transitioned to a 24-hour format in 2014 after sharing time with Comedy Central; a planned sale of its free-to-air slot to Super RTL in 2024 was abandoned due to antitrust concerns. These changes reflect Paramount's strategy to consolidate amid international closures, including the shutdown of Nickelodeon Austria in June 2025, Nickelodeon Canada on September 1, 2025, and planned shutdowns in Brazil, Poland, and Hungary by December 2025.^[2]^[99]^[100] Nickelodeon's global reach is bolstered by partnerships with local broadcasters, such as Network 10 in Australia for co-productions and distribution, and Sky in the UK for carriage. These collaborations enable 24/7 availability and integration into free-to-air schedules in regions without dedicated channels, ensuring wide accessibility while preschool spin-offs like Nick Jr. handle specialized younger content.^[101]^[95]

Nick Jr. and preschool programming

Nick Jr. serves as the preschool programming arm of Paramount International Networks, delivering educational content designed for children aged 2 to 6 through dedicated 24-hour channels and branded blocks across more than 100 territories worldwide.^[95] The brand emphasizes interactive learning, creativity, and social-emotional development, featuring a mix of original Nickelodeon productions like Blue's Clues and licensed series such as dubs of Peppa Pig, which encourage problem-solving and family bonding.^[102]^[103] In regions like the United Kingdom, Nick Jr. operates as a full-time channel broadcasting shows including PAW Patrol and Dora the Explorer, with programming structured around themed blocks to support daily routines and parental engagement through targeted advertising.^[104] Similarly, in Latin America, Nick Jr. channels in countries such as Brazil have provided localized feeds with dubbed content until recent cost-cutting measures led to their planned shutdown in late 2025, alongside closures in Poland and Hungary.^[105] In the Middle East and North Africa (MENA), Nick Jr. launched as a 24-hour Arabic-dubbed service in 2015 via a joint venture with OSN, offering culturally adapted episodes of preschool favorites to over 40 million households.^[106] Historically, the brand evolved from early programming blocks on Nickelodeon channels in Asia during the 1990s and 2000s, transitioning to standalone 24-hour services reaching more than 60 million households in North and Southeast Asia by the 2010s.^[107] In the UK, a secondary channel called Nick Jr. 2 operated from 2006 to 2010, providing extended preschool content before its closure to streamline operations.^[108] These adaptations ensure content resonates locally, such as through regional dubbing and scheduling aligned with cultural norms, while maintaining a core focus on safe, ad-supported viewing for young audiences and caregivers.^[109]

Nicktoons and TeenNick

Nicktoons is a pan-regional pay television channel dedicated to animated programming, primarily targeting children aged 8 to 14, and operates under Paramount International Networks in select international markets including Europe and parts of Asia. The channel features reruns of popular Nickelodeon animations such as Avatar: The Last Airbender and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, alongside original series produced by the broader Nickelodeon ecosystem. In Europe, Nicktoons maintains a 24-hour schedule with content localized for regional audiences, including dubs in languages like German, French, and Polish, and continues to broadcast in the UK as of November 2025 with episodes of shows like The Loud House and SpongeBob SquarePants.^[110]^[111] Historically, Nicktoons has incorporated anime imports to diversify its animation lineup, with early examples including the anime-influenced Kappa Mikey series acquired globally by Nickelodeon in 2006 for international feeds. More recent programming emphasizes original animations like the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles franchise, which Paramount has expanded with new content hubs and series such as Tales of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles in 2025, airing reruns across Nicktoons feeds to engage young viewers with action-oriented stories. In Asia, Nicktoons operates as a pan-regional service in select countries, though some markets have seen reduced availability amid Paramount's 2025 cost-cutting measures that shuttered non-core channels.^[112]^[113]^[2] In Latin America, the Nicktoons channel launched in 2013 but was discontinued on September 1, 2020, with its slot repurposed for NickMusic in several markets as part of ViacomCBS's (now Paramount's) strategic shifts toward streaming and music content. Similarly, the original Nicktoons UK feed faced early challenges, including the closure of a timeshift variant in 2009, but the main channel persists today as a key outlet for animation in the region. These channels tie into the Nickelodeon family by prioritizing animated content that builds on the parent brand's legacy of kid-focused entertainment. TeenNick, aimed at teens aged 13 to 17, complements Nicktoons by shifting focus to live-action teen dramas and comedies within the Nickelodeon portfolio, operating internationally in regions like Europe (including the UK) where it airs series such as The Thundermans and iCarly reruns. As of November 2025, TeenNick Europe features monthly highlights like dedicated blocks for Nickelodeon original movies and reality competitions, maintaining a schedule that emphasizes relatable teen narratives. In Canada, teen programming under the TeenNick brand was available via licensing agreements with Corus Entertainment on channels like Nickelodeon Canada and YTV until the closure of Nickelodeon Canada on September 1, 2025, reflecting Paramount's consolidation of linear TV assets amid declining viewership.^[114]^[2]^[115] Former international iterations include TeenNick Asia, which was discontinued in the late 2010s as Paramount streamlined its Asian portfolio toward core Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. feeds, redirecting resources to digital platforms. Nicktoons in Latin America, post-closure, saw its animated content migrate to the main Nickelodeon channel, ensuring continuity for the 8-14 audience through integrated programming blocks rather than standalone services. These evolutions underscore Paramount International Networks' adaptation to global streaming trends while preserving targeted animation and teen content for international youth demographics.^[69]

News and Factual Brands

CBS International

CBS International operates as a 50/50 joint venture between Paramount Skydance (formerly Paramount Global) and AMC Networks International, formed in 2009 to manage and distribute CBS-branded entertainment channels outside the United States.^[116] The partnership leverages Paramount's content library, including dramas and factual programming, to target international audiences without competing directly with domestic CBS operations. This structure allows for localized adaptations and distribution strategies in key non-U.S. markets, emphasizing entertainment formats that resonate globally.^[116] The venture's primary channels include CBS Justice, which broadcasts in the UK and parts of Europe, focusing on true crime series, action dramas, and investigative content such as Murder Wall and Evidence of Evil. Complementing this, CBS Reality serves audiences in Africa and Asia, delivering reality-based shows, factual entertainment, and true crime documentaries like Donal MacIntyre Unsolved. These channels feature dubbed and subtitled versions of popular U.S. dramas, including soap operas, to appeal to diverse regional viewers. Programming draws from Paramount's extensive catalog, prioritizing genres that drive high engagement in international pay-TV and free-to-air platforms.^[117]^[118] Collectively, the channels reach over 25 million households in the UK alone, with additional distribution extending to Europe, Africa, and Asia through satellite, cable, and digital platforms.^[119]^[120] This scale underscores the venture's role in expanding Paramount's international footprint while maintaining operational stability, even following the 2025 Paramount-Skydance merger. As of November 2025, the channels continue to operate without major disruptions amid broader cost-cutting measures at Paramount.^[6] The focus remains on non-U.S. markets, fostering partnerships with local distributors to enhance accessibility and ad revenue.

The Smithsonian Channel is a premium factual television network operated by Paramount International Networks, specializing in high-definition documentaries on history, science, nature, and culture, drawing from the resources of the Smithsonian Institution. Launched internationally in the 2010s, it targets an audience of intellectually curious adults through pay-TV and streaming platforms, emphasizing rigorous, fact-based storytelling.^[121]^[122] Current operations focus on regions including Asia and Latin America, where the channel delivers a slate of original and acquired programming in high definition. In Asia, it expanded through a 2019 partnership with Blue Ant Media, leading to launches such as Singapore in 2016 via StarHub TV, Hong Kong in 2020 on myTV SUPER reaching over 8 million subscribers, South Korea in 2020 on KT Skylife, and Indonesia in 2019 on platforms like Vidio and First Media. In Latin America, the channel debuted in 2018 via DirecTV and remains available across pay-TV households, featuring localized content like the series Las Cantinas de Cornelio. These feeds broadcast nature and history documentaries, such as wildlife explorations and historical reconstructions, to an estimated 10 million-plus subscribers globally via pay-TV distribution.^[123]^[124]^[125]^[126]^[127]^[128] In Europe, the Smithsonian Channel launched its linear service in the UK and Ireland on February 12, 2019, as the network's first major European venture, available on Sky, Virgin Media, Freeview, and Freesat to 19 million homes, with a mix of U.S. imports and UK commissions like Mystic Britain. However, the UK linear channel ceased broadcasting on January 6, 2023, with content migrating to Paramount+ streaming.^[129]^[130]^[131] The network has pursued co-productions with the BBC for global distribution, including early deals for the flagship history series Timewatch in 2007 and more recent wildlife projects like the 2019 series Stormborn, which explores animals in extreme environments. These collaborations enhance content accessibility across international markets. Factual programming also aligns with synergies in CBS International's news and documentary offerings.^[132]^[133]

Regional Free-to-Air Networks

Channel 5 in the United Kingdom

Channel 5 Broadcasting Limited, commonly known as Channel 5, is a British free-to-air television network owned by [Paramount Global](/page/Paramount Global) since its acquisition by Viacom in September 2014 for £450 million (approximately $726 million at the time).^[134] The network operates as part of Paramount International Networks' UK division, delivering a portfolio of five linear channels: the flagship 5 (rebranded from Channel 5 in March 2025), 5USA (focusing on American dramas and action), 5STAR (entertainment and reality), 5Action (crime and factual), and 5Select (lifestyle and documentaries).^[135] Complementing these are free ad-supported streaming television (FAST) channels launched in March 2025, including themed streams like Police Interceptors and Bargain Loving Brits, accessible via the relaunched 5 streaming platform (formerly My5).^[136] The network's programming blends imported content from the United States with original UK productions, targeting a broad audience with entertainment, news, and factual fare. Key US imports include long-running series such as NCIS and the CSI franchise, which have been staples since the early 2000s and continue to draw viewers in primetime slots.^[137] UK originals form a significant portion, supported by an annual commissioning budget exceeding £200 million, featuring reality formats like Celebrity Big Brother (broadcast since 2018) and scripted dramas such as The Teacher, Madame Blanc Mysteries, and The Hardacres.^[137]^[138] This mix emphasizes accessible, high-engagement content, with unscripted shows and family-oriented programming driving much of the schedule. Following the 2014 acquisition, Paramount invested in bolstering Channel 5's news output through 5 News, produced by ITN, which expanded to multiple daily bulletins including a flagship 5pm program anchored by Dan Walker.^[139] Audience figures for 5 News grew 4% year-on-year in early 2025, achieving a 3.4% share among individuals during weekdays, reflecting sustained commitment to journalistic coverage.^[139] Investments also extended to children's programming via the Milkshake! block, a weekday morning strand for ages 2-7 that has maintained production of original UK content, including acquisitions like the preschool series Floogals, positioning it as a leader in commercial preschool TV.^[140]^[141] As an ad-supported broadcaster, Channel 5 reaches a consolidated audience share of approximately 5% across its portfolio, with consistent growth over five consecutive years through 2023 and continued upward trends in 2024-2025 driven by streaming integration.^[142] The 5 streaming service, which saw TV viewing minutes surge 53% in 2024 per BARB data, enhances accessibility with on-demand access to linear content and expanded FAST options, appealing to linear and digital viewers alike.^[143] This model supports Paramount's strategy in the UK market, where the network fulfills public service obligations while leveraging synergies with global brands like CBS and MTV for content distribution.

Network 10 in Australia

Network 10, a major Australian free-to-air commercial television network, was acquired by CBS Corporation (now Paramount Global) in November 2017 following the network's voluntary administration due to mounting debts exceeding A$200 million.^[144] The acquisition, valued at approximately A$650 million including debt assumption, allowed Network 10 to stabilize operations and integrate into Paramount's international portfolio, with CBS launching its CBS All Access streaming service (later Paramount+) in Australia shortly thereafter.^[145] Under Paramount's ownership, Network 10 has focused on bolstering its digital presence and content strategy to compete in a fragmented media landscape dominated by streaming platforms.^[146] The network operates its flagship Channel 10, alongside multichannels 10 Drama (formerly 10 Bold, targeting drama and reality programming) and 10 Comedy (formerly 10 Peach, focusing on comedy and lifestyle content), which were rebranded in June 2025 to unify under the "10" identity for streamlined viewer access across free-to-air and digital platforms.^[147] Complementing these are the free ad-supported streaming service 10 Play, which offers on-demand episodes, live streaming, and exclusive content, reaching over 2.5 million Australians monthly.^[50] This multi-platform approach has enabled Network 10 to deliver a diverse slate of programming, including high-profile local productions like MasterChef Australia, a competitive cooking reality series that draws millions of viewers annually and has been a cornerstone of the network's primetime schedule since its debut in 2009.^[148] The network also syndicates popular U.S. content, such as [The Big Bang Theory](/page/The Big Bang Theory), which airs on 10 Comedy and remains a top-rated sitcom for its blend of humor and science-themed storytelling, attracting a loyal audience through reruns and streaming availability.^[149] Post-acquisition, Network 10 faced ongoing challenges from declining linear TV advertising revenue and structural shifts in viewer habits, culminating in a reported net loss of A$322 million for the fiscal year ending June 2024, partly due to a full write-down of its broadcast license values to zero amid industry-wide pressures.^[150] Paramount responded by investing heavily in original content and digital infrastructure, including enhancements to 10 Play and social media engagement, which helped drive audience growth in streaming—reaching 22.5 million unique viewers across platforms in the first half of 2025 alone.^[151] These efforts contributed to Paramount Global's overall Q2 2025 profitability, with direct-to-consumer revenue up 15%, signaling a partial turnaround for international assets like Network 10 despite persistent linear declines.^[152] Network 10 maintains a strong national footprint, broadcasting primarily from five metropolitan markets (Sydney, Melbourne, Brisbane, Adelaide, and Perth) with affiliate agreements extending coverage to regional areas, collectively reaching approximately 25 million Australians annually or over 95% of the population.^[153] It positions itself as the youngest commercial free-to-air network, with more than 57% of its audience under 55 years old—five years younger on average than competitors—and emphasizes youth-oriented programming to capture digitally native viewers through fast-paced entertainment and interactive streaming features.^[154]

Telefe in Argentina

Telefe, a leading free-to-air television network in Argentina, was acquired by Viacom (now part of Paramount Global) in November 2016 for $345 million from Telefónica S.A., marking a significant expansion of Paramount's presence in the Latin American broadcast market.^[24]^[26] Based in Buenos Aires, Telefe operates as Channel 11 and reaches approximately 95% of Argentine households, or about 44 million viewers, through its main headquarters and three regional affiliates in Rosario, Santa Fe, and Córdoba.^[155] The network also manages Telefe Internacional, an international channel that distributes its programming across Latin America via platforms like DirecTV and Movistar TV in countries including Colombia, Peru, Venezuela, and Mexico. Additionally, Telefe maintains digital operations through the Mi Telefe app, which provides on-demand access to live streams, episodes, and exclusive content for mobile and web users.^[65]^[156] Telefe's content portfolio emphasizes original Spanish-language productions, generating over 3,500 hours of video annually and securing nine of the top 10 most-watched programs in Argentina.^[65] Its programming includes popular telenovelas such as original hits like Graduados and Viudas e Hijas del Rock, which highlight Argentine storytelling with themes of family, romance, and social issues.^[157] The network also features daily news coverage through Telefe Noticias, a flagship bulletin delivering national and international updates, alongside dubbed versions of U.S. series and films to appeal to diverse audiences.^[65] These elements contribute to Telefe's focus on fiction-heavy broadcasting, distinguishing it within the regional landscape. As Argentina's top-rated free-to-air channel, Telefe consistently holds a market share of around 43%, with 88% audience penetration and an average viewership exceeding 38 million people as of 2022.^[158] Its content exports via Telefe Internacional extend this dominance regionally, distributing telenovelas and series to Latin American markets and driving demand for Argentine formats across the continent.^[159] Following the acquisition, Paramount invested in Telefe's digital expansion, integrating its library into the Paramount+ streaming service launched in Latin America in 2021, which features select Telefe originals and enhances cross-platform accessibility.^[160]^[161] This tied into Paramount's broader Americas division strategy for hybrid broadcast-streaming operations in the region. However, in October 2025, Paramount sold Telefe to a holding company led by Argentine businessman Gustavo Scaglione for approximately $100 million, returning full ownership to local control amid cost-saving efforts.^[162]^[66]^[163]

Chilevisión in Chile

Chilevisión, a prominent free-to-air television network in Chile, has been fully owned by Paramount Global through its Paramount International Networks division since September 2021. In November 2025, Paramount agreed to sell the network to Vytal Group, a holding company led by Argentine media executive Tomás Yankelevich, as part of ongoing cost-saving measures; the transaction is pending completion as of November 2025. The network traces its origins to 1960 when it was founded by the University of Chile, but its modern ownership began shifting in the early 2000s when Turner Broadcasting System, a WarnerMedia subsidiary, acquired a partial stake around 2000 before taking full control in 2010 for approximately $150 million.^[164]^[165]^[166]^[167] This transition to Paramount marked a strategic expansion in Latin America, integrating Chilevisión into the company's regional portfolio alongside assets like Telefe in Argentina for content synergies.^[168] The network operates primarily as a terrestrial broadcast channel on VHF frequency 11 in Santiago and various UHF frequencies nationwide, complemented by a high-definition (HD) simulcast feed launched in 2012 to enhance viewing quality for digital terrestrial television adopters. Additionally, Chilevisión maintains robust digital extensions, including its official website and mobile app, which stream live content and on-demand episodes, alongside social media platforms for audience engagement. These feeds ensure broad accessibility across Chile's urban and rural areas, with the HD version prioritizing improved visuals for news and entertainment programming.^[169]^[165] Chilevisión's programming slate emphasizes news, reality formats, and imported series, positioning it as a leader in factual and unscripted content. Its flagship news program, CHV Noticias, consistently ranks as one of Chile's top-rated newscasts, delivering daily coverage with a focus on national politics, social issues, and investigative reporting that often achieves peak viewership during prime time slots. Reality shows form a cornerstone of its entertainment lineup, exemplified by Gran Hermano Chile, the local adaptation of the Big Brother franchise, which draws massive audiences through live evictions and interpersonal drama in its 2024 and 2025 seasons. The network also features imported series, such as Turkish dramas like Pasión Prohibida, dubbed into Spanish to appeal to telenovela fans, alongside original Chilean productions in genres like drama and comedy.^[170]^[171]^[172] In terms of audience, Chilevisión commands a significant share of the Chilean TV market, averaging around 25-30% of total viewership in recent years, with particularly strong performance in Santiago where it often leads prime-time ratings. For instance, in the first half of 2025, it achieved a 29.4% share during key morning slots, reaching over 13 million viewers monthly by October 2025 through hit programs and events like the Copa América broadcasts. This dominance was previously bolstered by cross-promotional efforts with Paramount's now-former asset Telefe in Argentina, enabling shared content distribution and regional advertising synergies across Latin America.^[173]^[174]^[172]

Other and Former Networks

Gaming and anime channels

Paramount International Networks operates niche channels dedicated to gaming and anime, primarily targeting younger audiences in Europe with extensions into Asian markets through content partnerships. These channels complement the broader youth-oriented portfolio, including ties to Nicktoons and TeenNick for crossover programming in pop culture and entertainment.^[80] Game One, launched in September 1998, is a French television channel fully owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA, focusing on video gaming, esports, and geek culture. It broadcasts gaming shows, news segments on titles like Grand Theft Auto, and esports events, while also featuring Japanese anime dubs to appeal to overlapping fanbases. The channel operates in France and is distributed in Belgium, with historical programming extensions such as a dedicated gaming show aired on MTV Germany from 2006 to 2014. As of November 2025, Game One remains active but is scheduled for closure at the end of the month amid Paramount's strategic restructuring following the Skydance merger.^[80]^[175]^[176] J-One, a companion channel launched on October 4, 2013, is also fully owned by Paramount Networks EMEAA and specializes in Japanese anime and Asian pop culture, with a focus on simulcast and dubbed series for European viewers. It airs popular titles including dubbed episodes of Naruto, alongside original programming exploring manga and anime trends. While primarily French-based, J-One's Japan-centric content supports Paramount's partnerships in Asia, where anime selections are integrated into streaming services like Paramount+ via collaborations with providers such as J:COM and WOWOW. Like Game One, J-One is set to cease operations by the end of November 2025.^[80]^[176]^[177]^[175] Formerly, Spike served as an international gaming and entertainment network under Paramount, targeting male demographics with esports coverage, gaming marathons, and action-oriented shows before being rebranded to Paramount Network in various markets starting in 2018. This transition shifted focus from niche gaming to broader premium content, leading to the phase-out of dedicated gaming branding in regions like the UK and Southeast Asia.^[178]^[179]

Defunct music and variety channels

Paramount International Networks has discontinued several music and variety channels over the years, primarily due to the rise of digital streaming services and the need for portfolio consolidation within the MTV brand. These closures reflect a broader industry shift away from linear television toward on-demand platforms, where music consumption has increasingly moved online.^[180]^[69] VIVA, a pop music video channel launched in the 1990s as a competitor to MTV, operated variants in Germany, Austria, and the UK before being fully shut down in the late 2010s. The German and Austrian versions, owned by Viacom International Media Networks, focused on contemporary pop videos and youth-oriented programming, broadcasting until December 31, 2018, when they were replaced by Comedy Central to streamline operations.^[180]^[181] In the UK and Ireland, VIVA launched in October 2009 as a free-to-air channel emphasizing pop hits and entertainment, but it ceased operations on January 31, 2018, amid Viacom's efforts to consolidate music content under core MTV properties.^[182] TMF (The Music Factory), known for its emphasis on dance and urban music videos, saw its Dutch and UK versions discontinued in the early 2010s as part of Viacom's brand rationalization. The UK iteration, which aired dance-focused programming since the early 2000s, was replaced by VIVA on October 26, 2009, to refocus on broader pop appeal and reduce overlapping music channels.^[182] In the Netherlands, TMF's variants—including TMF NL, TMF Pure, and TMF Dance—continued until September 1, 2011, when they were terminated to strengthen the MTV brand's dominance in the market, with content migrating to digital platforms.^[183] Other notable closures include several MTV-branded music channels in Europe, victims of the digital transition. As of October 2025, Paramount announced the shutdown of MTV Music, MTV 80s, MTV 90s, Club MTV, and MTV Live across Europe and other regions by December 31, 2025, prioritizing streaming services like Paramount+ over linear music TV.^[69] These shutdowns underscore Paramount's strategy to consolidate music offerings into flagship networks like MTV while adapting to viewer preferences for on-demand content.^[71]

Sold or joint venture assets

Paramount International Networks has divested several assets through sales and restructurings of joint ventures, particularly in emerging markets, to streamline operations and focus on core global brands. One significant divestiture involved its long-standing partnership in India with Viacom18 Media Private Limited, originally formed in 2007 as a 50-50 joint venture between Viacom and Network18 (a Reliance Industries subsidiary). Over time, Reliance increased its ownership through subsequent investments, reducing Paramount's stake to 13.01% by 2023 following the merger of Viacom18's media operations with Star India. In March 2024, Paramount completed the sale of this remaining minority stake to Reliance for approximately $517 million, fully exiting the venture amid broader strategic shifts, including preparations for the Skydance merger later that year.^[37] In Europe, Paramount restructured its joint venture interests in the kids' entertainment sector. The company had co-owned Super!, an Italian free-to-air children's channel launched in 2010, initially as a partnership with De Agostini Editore. Viacom took a 50% stake in 2017 through Super Broadcast SRL, expanding its reach to over 35 million monthly viewers with Nickelodeon and other branded content. By October 2019, Paramount acquired the remaining 50% from De Agostini, gaining full control and ending the joint venture structure while integrating the channel into its Italian portfolio.^[184] Another key divestiture occurred with Rainbow S.p.A., the Italian animation studio behind franchises like Winx Club. Paramount held a 30% stake since 2011, collaborating on co-productions and distribution. In January 2023, the company sold this equity interest back to founder Iginio Straffi, concluding nearly 12 years of co-ownership; Nickelodeon retained broadcasting rights for Rainbow content as a non-equity partner.^[185] Early joint ventures in Asia also saw dissolutions, notably a $1 billion slate financing agreement with China's Huahua Media announced in 2017 for co-producing films. The partnership was terminated later that year due to evolving Chinese foreign investment regulations and scrutiny, marking an early exit from a high-profile Asian collaboration.^[186]
