Non-original films do seem to do a monthly Prime>Freevee>MGM Amazon Channel rotation.
Prime is such an after thought. I only have it for Invincible and The Boys, and sometimes you find great queer European programmes.

Feel free to cozy up under a blanket before you keep reading because this is going to put you to sleep with how boring and inane it is:
The premium channel Showtime will be rebranded with a new name in January and will feature certain original series from the streaming platform Paramount+, the channel’s parent company announced Monday.
Starting Jan. 8, 2024, Showtime will rebrand to “Paramount+ with Showtime,” Paramount Global, Showtime’s parent company, said in a statement.
Paramount Global said the rebrand marks the “first of its kind multiplatform brand that integrates streaming and linear content.”
The rebranded version of Showtime will give subscribers access to new Showtime titles along with certain Paramount+ original series, including the first season of “Halo,” the first four seasons of “Star Trek: Discovery,” the first two seasons of “Mayor of Kingstown” and the platform’s new series, “Sexy Beasts.”
The rebranded name, “Paramount+ with Showtime,” was previously used for a streaming service bundle released in August.
Beginning Aug. 28, some Showtime cable subscribers were able to transfer their Showtime information to Paramount+ to start a new “Paramount+ with Showtime” plan. However, not all Showtime subscribers will see the transfer option in the coming months, Paramount+ said. Those who don’t will be required to cancel their Showtime streaming subscription before starting a new combined subscription. Account types ineligible for the transfer are listed on the Paramount+ website.
Do you know a single person on the planet who gives even one-tenth of a fuck about this being the first multiplatform brand to integrate streaming and linear content?

I chuckled at your intro and then realized that I legitimately mentally tuned out about halfway through that. It's like a damn work conference seminar. Why do we let people like this run the game.
Netflix has released a viewership report.

Also.. what does this even mean? So it does not include all of Paramount+? And who came up with this messed up name? They need to fold this whole thing and sell Paramount to Apple. Would solve multiple problems at once.
"Paramount+ with Showtime" really rolls right off the tongue.

I’ve never even heard of a “Ginny & Georgia” but apparently half the world has.

Based on what I can glean from various websites:
Linear content is programming that airs on a dictated schedule (for example, regular broadcast TV), where it is decided for you when and how frequently a show is on.
As compared to non-linear which would be where the viewer gets to make those decisions themselves (for example, streaming a Netflix show).
It's wild how abruptly the kind of cultural penetration every big Netflix hit had at one point just ended. It kind of happened with... Wednesday? But I feel like the long-term effect of their algorithm-driven production model is that even their big on-paper successes now make little to no noise outside of the audiences they're precision-targeted for.
Netflix's original content feels, of late, it's all just being at least in part churned out by ChatGPT.
Who is Erin Carter? was just cliche after cliche, spoiled by the damn UX card that showed an as-yet-unrevealed character was the main villain.
Everything looks good, but it's ridiculously hollow.

But we've had linear content on Netflix, Disney and Amazon as well? Like... this is nothing new??????

Yeah, your guess is as good as mine. I suppose this wouldn’t be the first time in history that a company bigged themselves up by making claims that were fully inaccurate.

Absolutely ludicrous, cheesy as all hell, basically one of those dramas ITV throw out in the middle of Summer, but with a massive budget. If you had told me it was a Shed Production (rip), I'd have believed you.
The housemate and I lapped it up.

Same here. It was already the worst streaming service with barely anything worthwhile on it but now even that has disappeared.
Apparently the industry expects the sale of Paramount, as a whole or by parts, to be one of the big events of 2024.
Prime really is the worst. Even the little great content that they have (Boys, Invincible) is poorly managed. It’s not even a drip feed of episodes for Invincible, they really stretch it out to get people to hold onto their subscriptions.
The way the HBO app keeps cutting my shows off saying it doesn’t have connection. Netflix killed family sharing (so it doesn’t work on my TV any longer), Disney Plus it’s continue watching always starting shows at the beginning instead of where it should, etc etc.
