Pluto TV

Free streaming platform

Pluto TV is a free streaming television service that offers live channels and on-demand content supported by advertisements.

Unlike subscription services, it mimics traditional cable TV with scheduled programming across themed channels: I was flipping through Pluto TV and found an old movie.

Owned by Paramount, it launched in 2014 and operates in multiple countries.
