Viacom Channels Like MTV, Comedy Central, & Nickelodeon Officially Live on fuboTV
In February, Fubo and Viacom announced a deal to bring 22 of Viacom’s channels to the service. This morning, the Live TV Streaming Service officially added the channels to their channel lineup. The most popular of Viacom’s channels (BET, CMT, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., Paramount Network, TV Land and VH1) are part of the base Fubo package.
This means you can now watch shows like Jersey Shore on MTV, The Daily Show with Trevor Noah on Comedy Central, RuPaul’s Drag Race on VH1, and SpongeBob SquarePants on Nickelodeon.
The rest including BET Her, BET Jams, BET Soul, Logo, MTV2, MTV Classic, MTV Live, mtvU, Nick Music, Nicktoons, and TeenNick were added to their 115-channel fubo Extra plan. Currently, the only way to subscribe to fubo Extra is by subscribing to the fubo Ultra ($80) bundle which includes fubo Extra, Cloud DVR Plus (500 Hour DVR), Family Share (3 Simultaneous Screens), Sports Plus, and Showtime.
Fubo now joins Philo, Sling TV, and AT&T TV NOW as the only Live TV Streaming Services with Viacom channels. The networks used to be carried by PlayStation Vue, but were removed due to rising costs in November 2016.
