CBS is a big deal. It's got shows like "Survivor" and "NCIS" that keep people glued to their screens. But what if you don't have cable? No worries! You can still catch all the action.
First off, you can use an HD antenna to pick up CBS for free. It's like getting a signal from the air, just like old times. But if you want more than just live TV, there's Paramount+. This is CBS's own streaming platform. It's got a bunch of channels like Nickelodeon, MTV, and even Showtime.
Paramount+ has two plans. The Essential plan is the cheapest at $8. 99 a month. It's got ads, but you get access to a ton of shows and movies, plus live sports and news. If you want to skip the ads, the Premium plan is $13. 99 a month. You get even more stuff, like Showtime's exclusive shows and the ability to download stuff to watch later.
But Paramount+ isn't the only way to watch CBS online. There are other streaming services that offer CBS too. For example, Hulu + Live TV has a free trial for three days. After that, it's $89. 99 a month. You can also bundle it with Disney+ and ESPN for more content.
Another option is YouTube TV. It's $39. 99 a month and includes CBS, plus other local channels and cable news networks. You can stream on three devices at once and record shows with unlimited DVR storage.
If you already have Amazon Prime, you can add Paramount+ as a premium channel. It starts at $8. 99 a month on top of your Prime subscription. This way, you can watch CBS shows right from the Prime Video library.
So, if you've cut the cord, don't worry. There are plenty of ways to keep watching your favorite CBS shows. Just pick the one that fits your budget and needs.
