They are on Xfinity X1 as of about a  month ago (in fact, the day before
HBO Max finally appeared on the platform in plenty of time before "Wonder
Woman 1984").  Apple TV was offering a deal of CBSAA and Showtime for $9.99
a month before Christmas.

As far as I know, the only time I've seen "Paramount+" in connection with
on-air promotion was on the Nickelodeon telecast of the Bears v. Saints
Wild Card game two Sundays ago, where they featured at halftime a scene
from the upcoming "Kamp Koral:  SpongeBob's Under Years," which can be
described as "SpongeBob Babies" in CGI instead of cel animation and was
unimpressive (I know, I'm not the target audience, but...).
