Thu Sep 12 00:39:33 UTC 2024: ## MTV VMAs Go Live: Fans Can Catch the Show on Multiple Channels, But Paramount+ Only Offers On-Demand Viewing

The 2024 MTV Video Music Awards kicked off last night at the UBS Arena in Elmont, New York, bringing with it a star-studded lineup of performers including Halsey, Lenny Kravitz, Camila Cabello, Sabrina Carpenter, and Shawn Mendes.

Fans eager to catch the live show had multiple options:

* **Cable TV:** Every MTV channel, including BET, CMT, MTV2, and Nickelodeon, broadcasted the event live.
* **Streaming Services:** FuboTV, Hulu+ Live TV, and SlingTV subscribers could also stream the ceremony live.

However, **Paramount+ subscribers were unable to watch the VMAs live**. The streaming platform will offer the award show on demand after the broadcast concludes.

The ceremony, originally scheduled for Tuesday, September 10, was moved to Wednesday to avoid a conflict with the presidential debate.

Megan Thee Stallion took the stage with double duty: hosting and performing. The show, expected to run for about three hours, saw Taylor Swift, despite receiving a record 12 nominations, not performing. However, she made headlines just before the ceremony by publicly endorsing Kamala Harris for president.
