TCLtv+, the flagship streaming service of TCL, has announced a significant expansion in collaboration with Paramount Streaming. Starting this month, 23 CBS FAST (Free Ad-Supported Television) channels will join the TCLtv+ platform, including 14 local CBS Stations’ streaming channels and popular programs like 60 Minutes, 48 Hours, Entertainment Tonight, and Inside Edition. This partnership enhances TCLtv+‘s already robust lineup, which boasts over 350 channels and is available on all TCL TVs in the United States and Canada.
A Comprehensive CBS Experience
The new CBS channels will cater to a variety of viewer preferences, delivering live local news, weather, and traffic updates from 14 CBS local streaming stations. Cities represented include New York, Los Angeles, Chicago, Miami, and Boston, among others, ensuring that viewers across the U.S. can connect to their hometown news or explore what’s happening elsewhere. CBS content is typically available on Paramount+ streaming for a monthly subscription fee.
National and international news coverage will be available via CBS News 24/7, alongside sports-focused offerings such as CBS Sports HQ and UEFA Champions League highlights on the CBS Sports Golazo Network. Fans of adrenaline-fueled drama can also tune into the Car Chase channel for high-speed excitement.
Expanding a Successful Partnership
This content expansion builds upon an existing collaboration with Paramount Streaming, which already features popular networks like BET x Tyler Perry, CW Gold, and the Miramax Movie Channel. Catherine Zhang, VP of Content Service & Partnership at TCL, highlighted the strategic importance of this addition:
“CBS Networks boasts an unrivaled lineup of iconic series that have informed and entertained audiences around the world. We are excited to expand our relationship with CBS to include even more notable and distinguished titles, as well as a deep offering of live local and national news, a top-performing category on our platform.”
Streamlined Access for Viewers
The CBS content is accessible for U.S. audiences on TCL Google TV and Fire TV models, while the TCLtv+ app, featuring the new channels, is available for download in app stores. The service’s extensive offerings now include an eclectic mix of classic TV series, music programming, DIY shows, and nature specials, alongside news and sports.
With the inclusion of CBS’s esteemed programming and live news coverage, TCLtv+ cements its position as a major player in the FAST channel market, delivering a dynamic viewing experience tailored to diverse tastes—all for free.
