44. He's trying to help his buddies at Paramount. CBS probably loves what he's proposing

Mon Jan 19, 2026, 03:21 PM

Jan 2026

CBS --owned by Paramount -- has exclusive rights to the Army-Navy game through 2038. What Trump wants wouldn't take away those rights -- it would protect them by ensuring not only that CBS is the only outlet for the game, but that no other football game would compete for viewers when the Army-Navy game is on.

I doubt that the other networks and other football conferences will go along with this idea.
