NTTV subscription costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads
NTTV is Paramount's streaming service for live and on-demand content from Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, and BET. The ad-supported plan runs $5.99 monthly; the ad-free plan is $11.99 monthly. Both plans let you stream on one device at a time, and neither includes a free trial period. You are charged when ready when you sign up, and your subscription renews automatically each month.
If you already pay for Paramount+ (the main Paramount streaming service), NTTV is not a separate subscription you need. Paramount+ includes access to Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, and BET content as part of the bundle. NTTV exists as a standalone option only if you want those channels without paying for the full Paramount+ catalog.
Key Takeaways
- NTTV costs $5.99 per month with ads or $11.99 per month without ads, with no free trial offered and when ready billing upon signup.
- You can stream on only one device at a time on either plan, so household sharing requires separate subscriptions for each person.
- If you already subscribe to Paramount+, you already have access to NTTV content and do not need a second subscription.
- The ad-supported plan saves $6 per month but interrupts shows with commercials; the ad-free plan removes those interruptions entirely.
- You can cancel anytime through your account settings, and access continues until the end of your current billing cycle.
What the ad-supported plan includes
The $5.99 monthly plan gives you access to live and on-demand shows from Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, and BET. You can watch current episodes, older seasons, and original series, but the service pauses for ads throughout playback. The number and length of ad breaks vary by show and by time of day.
One subscription covers one person streaming at a time. If two people in your household want to watch simultaneously, you each need your own account. Casting to a TV through Chromecast or AirPlay works the same way as on the ad-free plan, but the one-stream limit still applies — casting counts as your one active stream.
The ad-supported plan is the entry-level option and reaches the same content library as the paid tier. If you watch NTTV content regularly but can tolerate commercial breaks, this plan delivers the full service at the lowest price.
What the ad-free plan includes
The $11.99 monthly plan removes ads entirely and includes the same content library as the ad-supported version. You still stream on one device at a time, and the same one-person-at-a-time rule applies. Casting to a TV works without interruption from commercials.
The $6 monthly difference between plans comes down to whether you want to sit through commercials. If you watch several hours per week, the ad-free plan may feel worth it; if you watch occasionally, the cheaper plan with ads may suit you better. The ad-free plan also works better if you share a household TV and want uninterrupted viewing when it is your turn to watch.
How NTTV compares to Paramount+
Paramount+ is the larger service and includes NTTV's four channels plus movies, CBS shows, sports, and exclusive originals. Paramount+ costs $5.99 per month with ads or $12.99 per month without ads. The ad-free Paramount+ plan is $1 more than ad-free NTTV, but you get a much larger content library that spans entertainment, news, sports, and film.
Most people who want Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, or BET content should subscribe to Paramount+ instead of NTTV, because Paramount+ includes those channels and costs the same or less depending on which plan you choose. NTTV makes sense only if you want those four channels and nothing else Paramount+ offers. If you are unsure whether Paramount+ has content you want beyond those four channels, browse the Paramount+ app or website first to see the full catalog before deciding.
Payment methods and billing
NTTV accepts credit cards, debit cards, and PayPal. Your subscription renews automatically each month on the same date you signed up. You can cancel anytime through your account settings, and cancellation takes effect at the end of your current billing cycle — you keep access until that date passes.
If you sign up through a third-party platform like Apple, Google Play, or Amazon, your payment method and billing are handled through that platform instead. Canceling through a third-party platform requires you to cancel through that same platform, not through NTTV's website. Check your account settings on the platform where you signed up to find the cancellation option.
Whether NTTV is worth the cost
NTTV is worth $5.99 per month if you regularly watch shows from Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, or BET and do not want to pay for Paramount+. The ad-supported plan is the cheaper entry point and includes the full content library; ads are the only trade-off.
If you watch those channels only occasionally or also want movies and other content, Paramount+ is the better value. If you already have Paramount+, do not pay for NTTV — your subscription already covers everything NTTV offers. Check your Paramount+ app under the Nickelodeon, TV Land, CMT, and BET tabs to confirm you have access before signing up for a separate service. This step takes two minutes and can save you $5.99 to $11.99 per month.
