Paramount Network is a network television channel, which means that (traditionally, anyway) it's part of the cable family — a native of legacy pay TV services.

But network television has grown up, and it's no longer limited to the cable and satellite bundles that first introduced us to our favorite channel. There's a new type of pay TV service on the block, and it's allowing us to watch Paramount Network without cable (and a whole lot of other channels without cable, too).

We're talking about live TV streaming services, which will dominate the list below. These services stream video over the internet, much like Netflix and other high-profile streaming services you may have heard of. But these services are doing so with live TV, something Netflix has never done. And the live TV channels these services offer are the familiar big network stations that you remember from cable and satellite.

There are, of course, differences between live TV streaming services and cable. For one thing, you'll be paying less. These new services are in a competitive market, with no infrastructure concerns around to create regional monopolies. And they also often offer slimmer bundles, which has earned them the sometimes-used nickname “skinny bundles.”

On top of that, these new services allow viewers to watch live TV on all sorts of devices. Using one of the live TV streaming services that offer a Paramount Network live stream will allow you to watch Paramount Network without cable on your Roku, Fire TV, Apple TV, Chromecast, mobile device, or computer, to name just a few of your options.
