Golden Globes Finds Home on CBS for 2024

Golden Globes Finds Home on CBS for 2024

The Golden Globe Awards have moved to CBS for 2024.

The show, now in its 81st year, will air Jan. 7 after the NFL doubleheader. Viewers can also watch the show on the CBS app and Paramount+. 

Jay Penske, CEO of Penske Media and owner of Dick Clark Productions, spoke out about the program’s new home on CBS.

“We’re so proud to bring the Golden Globes to CBS to celebrate 81 years of awards show history,” he said. “CBS has demonstrated an impressive 30-year commitment to the Grammys and been instrumental to their long-term success. In CBS, we found an ideal partner who understands the value of live entertainment programming and whose multiplatform distribution model is reflective of how global audiences choose to consume content today.” 

Golden Globes last aired on CBS in 1982. The show jumped to different networks before being picked up by NBC in 1996, where it gained success.  

Variety reported, “From there, it shot to great heights and became the second most-watched awards show on television, only behind the Oscars. That eventually led to a big bucks license fee with NBC, worth a reported $60 million a year. Until the bottom fell out in 2021, and NBC declined to run the broadcast in 2022. This past year, NBC agreed to a one-year deal to air one more Globes. But after that, the awards show was back on the market.” 

Netflix and Amazon Prime declined to pick up the show, as did CBS initially, before deciding to take it on.

George Cheeks, president and CEO of CBS, commented on the network’s excitement to host the show.

“Live entertainment and sports have been, and will always be, a hallmark of CBS, and the Globes adds an exciting new dimension to our first quarter schedule this year. The January timing also provides the added benefit of yet another signature platform to promote the return of CBS’ new primetime schedule in February,” he said.

As the entertainment world continues to transition to online streaming platforms, the Golden Globes Awards may do the same.  

Todd Boehly, CEO of Eldridge Industries, shared the plans with CNBC on Monday.

“I doubt we’ll be on NBC,” Boehly shared. “There’s a giant transition going on. Streaming is becoming part and parcel with where the world’s headed. The flexibility that we can do on a streaming environment is very different than what we can do on a broadcaster. So I think we’re going to take advantage of that flexibility.”
