Pluto TV added five new channels based on MTV reality shows to its lineup today including MTV stalwarts like “Cribs” The new channels continue Pluto TV’s transition from a large collection of thematic content from multiple studios to a much bigger offering that seems to be making Pluto TV a front end for Viacom based entertainment along with the sort of harder to find fare that Pluto was known for. The service now has numerous channels based on Viacom properties including Dora The Explorer, the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, multiple music offerings from MTV and now multiple reality show offerings as well. It was only a matter of time before we saw reality content make its way to the platform considering how much of Viacom’s catalogue is made up of the genre. There is certainly a large audience for it. Even more, there is also a new 24-7 dog channel.
Pluto TV will likely play into the new strategies for CBS going forward as well because of its easy availability on multiple platforms and ability to allow content owners a way to monetize older content again. With Pluto TV Viacom can have its programming from the last 30 years running 24-7 while still producing brand new content on its traditional cable channels or future ventures on CBS All-Access.
