CBS Sports is ending its relationship with Inside the NFL. John Ourand of Sports Business Journal reports that network executives told the show’s staff that it will not be returning to Paramount+ in the fall.
Inside the NFL has been on the air since 1977. While it started out on HBO, it moved to Showtime in 2008. In 2021, CBS moved it from the premium cable channel to Paramount+.
The show will be on the move again. The NFL is already looking for a new home.
“As one of the longest-running sports shows on TV, we thank HBO and Showtime/CBS for providing a home for Inside the NFL for more than 40 years,” a spokesperson for the league told Ourand. “We’re excited for the continued evolution of this iconic program with a new partner as we look ahead to the 2023 NFL season.”
For Paramount+, the move does not signal anything other than wanting to move on from the show. The streamer remains committed to live sports including the NFL, college football, and the UEFA Champions League.
