US deal secures Golden Globes, American Music Awards.

CBS has signed a five year deal for the Golden Globes and the American Music Awards.

The agreement kicking off with the January 2025 telecast of the Globes ensures the Golden Globes will air on CBS and livestream on Paramount+ stateside.

“CBS’ collaboration with the Globes for this year’s broadcast was a big win for both of us and established strong momentum for awards shows in 2024,” said CBS president and CEO George Cheeks in a statement. “The Globes is a one-of a-kind live event that adds another marquee special and valuable promotional platform to CBS’ annual calendar. I’m excited to expand the partnership with Jay and the entire team to continue to drive the Globes forward.”

“Today marks a significant milestone for the Globes as we solidify our partnership with CBS and Paramount+ for the next five years,” said Helen Hoehne, president of the Golden Globes. “We are incredibly proud of the audience we garnered in 2024 and look forward to building upon the immense success to make the 82nd Annual Golden Globe Awards the best and most memorable show yet.”

In Australia the Golden Globes last screened on Stan despite CBS having 2024 rights.
