Paramount International Networks

Paramount International Networks (PIN) is the international division of the Paramount Media Networks division of Paramount Skydance that oversees the production, broadcasting and promotion of its brands outside of the United States. These brands include Paramount Network, Comedy Central, MTV, Nickelodeon and BET, as well as CBS-branded channels co-owned with AMC Networks International. PIN also owned a 30% stake in the Rainbow S.p.A. animation studio in Italy from 2011 to 2023 and a majority-then-later-minority stake in Viacom18, an Indian joint venture with domestic partner TV18, which operates the former's television brands in India along with homegrown brand Colors from 2007 to 2024.

The division is headquartered within offices of the former Paramount Global in New York City and London, with other international offices located in São Paulo, Berlin, Stockholm, Amsterdam, Warsaw, Lagos, Madrid, Milan, Mumbai, Paris, Singapore, Budapest, Belgrade and Sydney amongst others. Its first international offices opened in the late 1980s in London and Amsterdam with the launch of MTV Europe (now MTV Global). It was created from a rebrand of predecessor Viacom's MTV Networks, which included MTV, BET, VH1 and Nickelodeon, to include Comedy Central. MTV Asia was a leader against rival Channel V in China, India and South Korea in 1999.

The division was previously led by Pam Kaufman as part of her broader role as president and CEO of International Markets, Global Consumer Products & Experiences. Kaufman departed Paramount in September 2025 following the company's acquisition by Skydance Media. Her former role was subsequently split into two positions: Kevin MacLellan was appointed president of International and Global Content Distribution, while Josh Silverman was hired as president of Global Products and Experiences, overseeing consumer products, live experiences, publishing, partnerships and ecommerce.
