.... I wonder if the numbers for the rest of the world will outweigh the American's who don't want All Access?
CBS's scheme is likely to make mad globs of money selling the license to broadcast to channels and streamers outside of the US, thus to still make bank while taking a hit in the US to kickstart CBS All-Access.
Of course All-access is going to get a subscription boost as people sign up for Trek, lose a bunch once the 30 day freebie expires, and get a further boost when the season ends and the whole thing is streamable in the US.
And of course some intrepid cokehead network exec is going to point at these increases as proof of their genius and value and why they should not be disappeared.
But BCS is playing a little bit of a long game with STD... not years and years, but 2, probably 4, and we could see a shift of the show back to network if all-access fails utterly, but i would bet we see at least two seasons in this format.
