South Park to stream on Paramount+ after bidding war


The deal that will see the long-running comedy series move from HBO Max is reportedly worth $1.5bn.

Some Democratic Party politicians have questioned whether CBS' cancellation of the Late Show after more than three decades was tied to a settlement it agreed with US President Donald Trump. He filed a lawsuit last October, alleging CBS had deceptively edited an interview that aired on its 60 Minutes news programme with his presidential election rival Kamala Harris, to "tip the scales in favour of the Democratic party". Paramount said it would pay$16m to settle the suit, but with the money allocated to Trump's future presidential library, not paid to him "directly or indirectly".
