CBS to Air Golden Globes for the Next Five Years

After its 81st edition aired on a different network than NBC, the Golden Globes will continue its partnership with CBS to broadcast the awards ceremony for the next five years. The deal will begin with the 82nd edition, where the show will simultaneously be broadcast on CBS and Paramount+ within the United States.

CBS CEO George Cheeks said in a statement, “CBS’ collaboration with the Globes for this year’s broadcast was a big win for both of us and established strong momentum for awards shows in 2024. The Globes is a one-of a-kind live event that adds another marquee special and valuable promotional platform to CBS’ annual calendar. I’m excited to expand the partnership with [chairman and CEO of Penske Media and Dick Clark Productions] Jay [Penske] and the entire team to continue to drive the Globes forward.”

Meanwhile, Golden Globes President Helen Hoehne said, “Today marks a significant milestone for the Globes as we solidify our partnership with CBS and Paramount+ for the next five years. We are incredibly proud of the audience we garnered in 2024 and look forward to building upon the immense success to make the 82nd annual Golden Globe Awards the best and most memorable show yet.”

On the other hand, Penske also issued a statement, which said, “We’re so proud to continue to call CBS our home for the Golden Globes. CBS stepped up for the Globes during a very challenging time, and inherently understood its value, while having the foresight, imagination and conviction to bring this iconic show to its many platforms. We’ve long admired CBS’ commitment to some of the greatest cultural live events and partnering for the long-term further cements this show’s legacy and incredible place in history.”

While the organization was involved in numerous controversies before its rebranding, the 81st edition went well enough for CBS to renew its deal with the awards body. The body is now comprised of diverse journalists who cover film and television and write for international publications. The 82nd edition of the Golden Globes will take place in early January 2025.
