Paramount Channel to launch in the UK

Don't think I'll even bother retuning. There are so many Freeview retunes with pop-up or obscure channels that it's not worth the hassle unless it affects Freeview in general or a PSB channel pops up.

Now back in the clear on satellite. Tuning details: https://www.a516digital.com/2018/06/paramount-starts-uk-test-transmissions.html

That's just a test channel which has been going for a couple of weeks, which is still just showing trailers and occasional programmes, and not the full schedule.


Paramount Network was supposed to launch at 6am today with teleshopping, with programming starting at 9am.

Its planned satellite position (Sky 159) is still occupied by Together TV, and it hasn't appeared following a freeview retune.

Those test channels have a sneaky tendency to become the fully-fledged article. Programmes begin at 1pm apparently...

Their official guide is saying the same: http://www.channel5.com/tv-guide/#/paramountnetwork

http://www.paramountnetwork.com goes to the 5Spike website oddly enough, even though Paramount does have its own site at http://www.channel5.com/paramountnetwork/

Just retuned on Freeview, got Paramount Network on 57, showing promos.

Might take a look at Agent Carter.

Paramount has now appeared at 159 on Sky.

Together has moved to 173.

The Digiguide listings, which showed teleshopping from 6am and programming from 9am, were either wrong, or there was a last minute change to the launch time.

Urm...

No manual retune needed for me, it showed up on Channel 57 automatically.

Unexpectedly this has launched on Sky in Ireland too, a first for a Channel 5 channel on any mainstream platform.

Anyone want to bet on when it become 5Paramount or will this be one network that Viacom can lean in with regarding the brand?

I wouldn’t have thought they’d change it considering they’re eventually going to be co-producing new shows with the US Paramount Network.
