Paramount Network is a general entertainment channel operated in the UK by Channel 5 Broadcasting[1] featuring a range of programming from the Channel 5 stable and other content from the UK and US.[2][3][4]

On Sky, Paramount Network launched on channel 159, a slot previously occupied by Together, which itself moved to BET's former EPG slot of 173.[5] On Freeview, it replaced 5Spike +1 on channel 57.

The channel launched on 4 July 2018[6], but ceased to be available via satellite in Ireland on 13 July 2018 having supposedly only been made available by mistake[7], even though the channel had been promoted to Irish viewers before launch.[8]

The channel launched in high-definition exclusively on Virgin Media channel 187 on 21 July 2018, and is also available in standard-definition on channel 188.[9][10]

Programming

The first show that aired on Paramount Network was the pilot episode of Gilmore Girls, which was broadcast at 1:00 pm on 4 July 2018.[11]
