Paramount Network launched in the UK as part of the Channel 5 family on Wednesday 4 July 2018 (Independence Day in the USA) at 1pm. Initially the idents centred around people being "drawn in" to a central point from behind the camera, while the rest of the presentation package was based on the channel's US equivalent. The idents lasted until January 2020 when the channel was "merged" with sister channel 5 Spike.
