Cable operator Mediacom will continue carriage of Paramount Global networks, announcing Wednesday that the companies struck a renewed agreement.
Financial terms were not disclosed.
The renewal means Mediacom will continue to offer Paramount’s slate of broadcast, entertainment, news and sports networks. Among cable channels covered under the deal are BET, CBS Sports Network, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Network, Pop TV, and the Smithsonian Channel, as well as rights to Showtime OTT. The agreement also includes retransmission consent rights to Paramount owned and operated CBS broadcast stations.
“We are pleased to announce our continued partnership with Paramount,” said Italia Commisso Weinand, EVP of Programming & Human Resources at Mediacom, in a statement. “Thank you to the Paramount and Mediacom teams for their hard work and commitment to our relationship.”
Mediacom is the fifth largest U.S. cable operator, providing broadband, video and phone services to 1.5 million households and businesses across 22 states.
At the start of 2022 Mediacom reached a new carriage agreement with Tegna, including retransmission consent for 12 Tegna-owned stations in the cable operator’s markets. That deal ended a lengthy broadcast channel blackout for Mediacom’s subscribers.
