The Golden Globes have found a new broadcast home at CBS after the troubled awards show lost its longtime home at NBC and the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) was disbanded after years of scandal.
The 81st Golden Globes will air live on CBS on Sunday, January 7, and stream on Paramount+, CBS and the Globes announced on Friday. The show will also be available on the CBS app.
The network declined to comment on the terms of the deal, including how long the agreement will last.
NBC aired the 2023 Globes for a year after the 2022 edition was effectively canceled. After a 2021 report found that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association had no Black members, stars and studios boycotted the Globes before returning for this year’s awards.
After the 2023 broadcast, held on Tuesday night, NBC opted not to renew his contract. According to Nielsen, there was a near-record low of 6.3 million viewers.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association has since been reorganized and no longer exists in name. Earlier this year, Penske Media-owned Dick Clark Production and Eldridge Industries, a holding company owned by billionaire investor Todd Boehly, acquired rights and properties to the Globes. A newly formed for-profit organization will vote on the awards.
CBS, which also broadcasts the Grammys, broadcast the Globes in 1981 and 1982 before the awards show aired on NBC for years.
