It looks like a great schedule. It's not available over the air here in the Twin Cities yet, but I have a Philo account I can use to check it out.

Do you think the Paramount+ price hike will affect the ability of Walmart+ to offer it as an add on? I took advantage of a Black Friday deal to get Walmart+ for 50% last year. This allowed me to cancel our Paramount+ subscription and use the one through Walmart+.

I really hope it doesn’t change. We watch a lot of shows on Paramount+. I’ve enjoyed our Walmart+ subscription and will probably renew at full-price this year. But not if the subscription add-on goes away.

I know this isn't much of an answer, but maybe? The Walmart+ deal with Paramount+ appears to be for multiple years, so it shouldn't change for awhile. This deal likely includes Walmart paying a flat discounted monthly rate per subscriber to Paramount. And when they get ready to renegotiate, Paramount will use the higher regular rate as a reason to ask for more from Walmart. And I suspect what happens next will depend on how successful Walmart feels the deal has been for them.

I have a limited ad plan Paramount+ doesn't even offer anymore. So I can't add Showtime with out resetting the price, which would be a big deal since I think I am paying around $59 a year for the service.
