Paramount Network, formerly known as Spike (and TNN), is best known as the home to the original “Yellowstone” (R.I.P.) and reality show “Bar Rescue” (10 seasons strong and still yelling at waitresses). The rest of Paramount Network’s programming these days, as with most legacy cable channels, is made up of TV series reruns (mostly “Bar Rescue”) and classic action and comedy movie marathons.
Like its Paramount Media Network cousins, MTV, Comedy Central, and Nickelodeon, Paramount Network is available on most cable, satellite, and live TV streaming services. Read on to find it wherever you are.

Get Paramount Network with a streaming app
The go-to on-demand source for Paramount Network content is Paramount+, where all seasons of “Bar Rescue” reside, as well as former network originals like “Waco,” “Ink Master,” and “68 Whiskey.” Free ad-supported streamer Pluto TV (also a Paramount property) carries some Paramount Network programming in its live channels and on-demand library, as well.
What’s on Paramount Network?
If you haven’t gathered by now, Paramount Network goes hard on its signature series, “Bar Rescue,” with daily rerun marathons and annual drops of new seasons. Paramount Network abandoned the original scripted programming game when “Yellowstone” ended, instead doubling down on action and comedy movies to fill out its non-“Bar Rescue” schedule.
Paramount Network channel guide FAQ

Though they share the Paramount name and ownership, Paramount Network isn’t the same as Paramount+. Paramount Network is a cable channel; Paramount+ is an on-demand streaming service that carries much of Paramount Network’s programming.
Can I watch “Yellowstone” on Paramount Network?
Thanks to a licensing deal put in place years before “Yellowstone” became a major cable hit, all five seasons of the Taylor Sheridan original are available to stream on demand only through Peacock. But “Yellowstone” spinoffs like “1883,” “The Madison,” and “Marshals” are available on Paramount+.
Is Paramount Network free with Amazon Prime?
Paramount Network isn’t available on Amazon Prime, free or paid. You can subscribe to Paramount+ through Amazon as a Prime Video add-on channel, though.
