During the broadcast of Super Bowl LVIII, Paramount+ subscribers experienced multiple technical issues, including crashes, frozen screens, audio problems, and slow loading. The streaming service, which many signed up for specifically to watch Super Bowl LVIII, was criticized by viewers on social media for its inability to handle the surge in viewer traffic. Complaints ranged from the feed crashing to being switched to local news instead of the Super Bowl, and even to the feed going dead and starting 'Face the Nation' with just two minutes left in the game. Paramount+ has faced public backlash as a result, with users expressing their frustration over the service's performance during one of the most-watched television events of the year.
Two minutes left and the Paramount+ Super Bowl feed goes dead. Click on it again and it starts Face the Nation. Good work, @paramountplus. Switched to YouTube TV.
Is it just me or did Paramount+ switch to local news instead of the super bowl? 🫠 What an epic fail 💀
