Content removed as a result of Q4 earnings call
According to the report, the reason for the removal is due to the streamer’s latest Q4 earnings call, which resulted in a variety of content being removed from the service. In its 10-K filing, the company said that would be reviewing their global protfolio and “removing select content.” As a result, more content may also be removed.
“In connection with our continued review of our international content strategy, during the first quarter of 2024 we made a strategic decision to focus on content with mass global appeal,” the company said in its 10-K filing. “As part of this, we are rationalizing original content on Paramount+, especially internationally, and improving the efficiency of our linear network programming. As a result, we have reviewed our expansive global content portfolio and are removing select content from our platforms.”
