CBS Is Planning Improved Streaming Service The new service will expand upon <br />CBS All Access and offer a variety of <br />Viacom networks to its customers. The service will include live sports and news, similar to NBCUniversal's Peacock. Last year's merger <br />between CBS and Viacom allows networks such as BET, Comedy Central, <br />MTV, Nickelodeon and Paramount Pictures <br />to join its streaming platform. CBS All Access currently costs $5.99 per month with ads or $9.99 per month for an ad-free version. CBS All Access debuted in <br />October 2014, but it never became a <br />popular streaming option like Netflix or Hulu. The company's streaming services have <br />more than 11 million subscribers in the U.S. between All Access and Showtime. Hulu has 30 million domestic subscribers, and <br />Netflix has 60 million subscribers in the U.S. Disney Plus, which launched in November, <br />already has 28 million subscribers.
