What’s with all this streaming stuff? Why won’t it be on regular CBS stations? Would probably be an improvement over some.of the drivel on TV.
Streaming is killing broadcast TV almost overnight. My wife and I went from watching only DVD/Blueray on our TV and then got Amazon prime. We went months without using the DVD player, and in the last 18 months have only used it two or three times. And we have hundreds of movies on DVD.
They even have live sports for people that want that.
CBS streaming costs $5.99/month.
Streaming allows content providers to bypass the cable companies, and charge for cable-type content. This might be the future.
“Would probably be an improvement over some.of the drivel on TV.”
possibly ... wouldn’t be hard to do ... but my guess it’ll be so shot through with leftist tropes and SWJ bullshit that it’ll still be nothing but leftist propaganda ... after all, it’s still CBS ...
Every network has the dumb idea that they will be able to have their own profitable subscription streaming service now that Netflix, Amazon, and Hulu have staked out that territory already and made a killing on it.
They don’t seem to realize that a single network just doesn’t produce enough original content to justify people buying a monthly subscription, and on top of that, locking their best content behind a paywall like this is going to kill the ratings for the regular network even more.
I suspect that networks are trying to wean their customers away from cable.
