Some programming is also being moved to a new channel to make it easier to find. For example, programs on Pluto TV’s old Classic TV channel are moving to either the new classic TV comedy channel or the classic TV drama channel, while shows that were on the Criss Angel Mindfreak channel move to Pluto TV reality.

Pluto also said it was adding new programming from CBS including JAG, America’s Next Top Model, Everybody Hates Chris and Moesha.
