Golden Globes Secure Five-Year Broadcast Deal with CBS

The agreement includes streaming on Paramount+ and marks a significant recovery following past controversies.

CBS and the Golden Globe Awards have announced a five-year deal to broadcast the ceremony on CBS and stream it live on Paramount+, starting with the January 2025 telecast.
The deal represents a significant turnaround for the Golden Globes, which faced controversy and a boycott due to a lack of diversity and ethical concerns, leading to a one-year hiatus from television in 2022.
The 2024 Golden Globes telecast saw a 50% increase in viewership from the previous year, drawing an average of 9.4 million viewers.
The agreement also includes broadcast rights for the American Music Awards, further cementing CBS's commitment to hosting major cultural live events.
The Golden Globes have undergone significant reforms, including the dissolution of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association and the transition to a for-profit enterprise under new ownership.
