Paramount Network App (NOT Paramount+)

Is Paramount Network app no longer available on Roku? Seems to have disappeared from my TV since Yellowstone season 5 Part 1 ended and doesn't show up in available channels now.

    Paramount (not Paramount+) is a channel on cable and satellite.  They used to have a companion "TV everywhere" streaming app but to view its content you needed to log in with your cable or satellite "TV provider" credentials to authenticate that you were paying for it.  Paramount has withdrawn this streaming app, at least on Roku - I don't know about other streaming platforms.

    Paramount is still there as part of paid cable and satellite subscriptions.  It can be streamed via a paid subscription to services that carry cable channels, such as YouTube TV, Hulu with Live TV, etc.

  • There is no Paramount Network app. It would be a TV Everywhere app that would only work if you authenticated it with a cable, satellite, or Live TV streaming service like YouTubeTV. Plus, the channel would have to be in your TV package. There is, and never was, a standalone subscription for Paramount Network.

    As noted, Yellowstone will probably be on Peacock in a few months. This is the streaming deal the original production company made, before Paramount (the company) was financially involved in the production.

  • Hi, Community users.

    Thanks for posting here in this thread regarding your concern with the Paramount Network app.

    Be advised that the Paramount Network app is no longer available on the Roku platform. This app used to exist on the platform, but it requires a login with your cable or satellite TV provider credentials to access and view its contents.

    However, you can add the Paramount+ channel to your Roku device to stream Paramount+ content.

    For more information, you can reach out to Paramount+ support and inquire further about this since channels and apps on Roku are directly managed by the channel provider. For reference, reach them at Paramount+ Support.

    Feel free to create a new thread if you have further concerns or inquiries. We're here to help.

    Best wishes,
    Kash

  • Paramount Network's help pages say: "The Paramount Network App Has Been Discontinued. You can continue to watch your favorite shows through your TV provider. You can also find many seasons on Paramount+."

        So no Paramount Network on Roku??  Yellowstone isn't on Paramount+!!!!!!

  • Paramount discontinued most of their TV Everywhere apps. It's not just Roku, but all devices. Sometimes, you may still be able to stream using a web browser.

    Most cable/satellite services have streaming apps of their own (like Xfinity Stream), so you can usually go through that.

  • Looks like roku is going to lose a lot of business by taking away all the channels that were there to include basic paramount app.

      As noted, Paramount Network is a CABLE network. Roku cannot simply add it or create an app. That is up to Paramount. Also as noted, if you are complaining about Yellowstone, it's the original production company that made the deal with Peacock.

        The point is that there WAS a Paramount Network app until recently. I had it myself just a couple weeks ago. So stop saying there hasn't been one.

  • So in my case.  Only paramount will play a series for about five minutes then it kicks you out of every series.  Back to the resume movie menu.  It made me watch ads like 5 times trying to get past to the first scene.  It's only paramount that does this.  I got a new tv and new internet router.  That's when it started the app is up to date the wifi is up to date.  It plays great then it just boots you from the movie.  For no reason.  I deleted the app same thing.  Checked updates same.  Don't know why?

      This could be the same ad-block bug that was affecting Paramount+, as I assume they use the same servers. The fact you have a new router makes it the prime suspect. Supposedly, definition updates have been rolling out and people are no longer having problems.

  • I'm disappointed Paramount disappeared on Roku TV as Peacock took over the rights and Yellowstone is not on Paramount Plus. Only season 1-5 is on Peacock. It's a fan letdown.😪
