*Channel 5 Broadcasting Ltd.
^Joint venture with Sky Group.
**MTV.
^^Joint venture with AMC Networks International.
If Paramount are serious about streaming as they claim, I can see many of these stations closing. IMO, certainties to avoid closure are:

Channel 5, Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, Nick Jr., MTV, CBS Reality and horror channel.

- 5SELECT to fold into 5STAR.
- 5ACTION and 5USA to merge
- Comedy Central Extra, Nicktoons, Nick Jr. Too, CBS Justice + Drama and all MTV Music channels (bar Music and Classic) all to close.
