Golden Globes to Air on CBS for Next Five Years
May 20, 2024 7:01 AM

The Golden Globes is set to air on CBS for the next five years, it was announced today.

The deal, which begins with the 2025 edition of the ceremony, will see the film and TV awards show air on CBS and stream live on Paramount+.

CBS collaboration with the Globes for this years broadcast was a big win for both of us and established strong momentum forawards showsin 2024, CBS CEO George Cheeks said in a statement. The Globes is aone-of a-kindlive event that adds another marqueespecialand valuable promotional platform to CBS annual calendar. Im excited to expand the partnership with [chairmanand CEO ofPenske Mediaand Dick Clark Productions] Jay [Penske] andthe entire teamto continue to drive the Globes forward. Globes president Helen Hoehne added, Today marks a significant milestonefor 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 makethe 82ndannual Golden Globe Awards the best and most memorable show yet.

The 2024 Golden Globes, which took place on Jan. 7, saw Poor Things, Succession, Oppenheimer, The Bear and Beef among the nights big winners.

Weresoproud to continuetocallCBSour home for the Golden Globes, said Penske. CBS stepped up for the Globes during a very challenging time, andinherently understooditsvalue, while havingthe foresight, imagination and conviction to bring this iconic show to its many platforms. Weve long admired CBS commitment tosome ofthe greatest cultural liveevents and partnering for the long-term further cements thisshowslegacy and incredible place in history.

The Golden Globes telecast was something of a hot potato prior to this new deal. After the old iteration of The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, then in charge of the awards show, became persona non grata with industry publicists over accusations of bribery and much-publicized reports about a lack of diversity within the group, longtime broadcaster NBC put the 2022 telecast on ice. A slightly revamped show aired on NBC in 2023, fulfilling its contract. CBS aired the show in 2024 as a one-off. And while the reviews for the show were abysmal thanks in large part to the hosting job by Jo Koy the ratings were up and the guest list was wildly impressive. The telecast neared 10 million multiplatform viewers, up 50 percent from its final NBC outing.

That seems to have been enough to seal the deal for CBS. Theres also slightly less baggage these days, now that operation isnt run by the HFPA. The group fundamentally disbanded in 2023. Dick Clark Productions now owns and produces the Golden Globe Awards. DCP is owned by Penske Media Eldridge, a joint venture between Penske Media Corporation and Eldridge that also owns The Hollywood Reporter.

A previous version of this story misstated the date of the 2024 Golden Globes. It took place on Jan. 7, not Jan. 8.
