Paramount Global is set to shut down the streaming app versions of three of its key networks: Comedy Central, MTV and Paramount Network.
While they remain live now, a listing on the Apple App Store says the apps will be discontinued. Instead, it directs viewers to watch the shows and films on those networks through their TV provider or on MTV.com.
The apps for other major networks, including Nickelodeon (the Nick App), VH1, and BET, appear to be running, and don’t have the warning of discontinuation on their App Store listing.
No reason was given for the looming discontinuation, but it follows Paramount letting customers know that it was shutting down the Showtime Anytime app on December 14. Paramount and merged Showtime content into its Paramount+ app, so the company could eventually be driving its audiences towards its subscription streaming service.
A spokesperson for Paramount wasn’t immediately available for comment, reports Cord Cutters News.
The Comedy Central, MTV, and Paramount Network are “TV everywhere” apps that allowed you to access their content for free by verifying your pay-TV subscription.
