variety.comTodd Spangler NY Digital Editor As part of trying to keep cable TV customers from cutting the cord, Charter Communications is now offering the ad-supported version of Paramount+ to all Spectrum TV Select and Mi Plan Latino packages nationwide — for no additional fee.

Paramount+ Essential provides streaming access (with ads) to programming from CBS, BET, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Paramount Pictures and more.
