I just read that the new Star Trek show is supposed to be on a new internet CBS network thingy, and in order to watch the show, you'll have to pay and apparently, download it?
Am I correct in this?
I wonder if the person buying the right to see the TV show will also get, in the deal, annoying commercials, as if it was on regular network channels, or will it be commercial free (gee, if you're paying for it, you ought to see it commercial free).
If it's not commercial free, I wonder how advertisers are going to like having a show that the only people, seeing the show, are those who paid to see the show?
I'm really quite confused by all of this (a doddering 50 years old by January 7th), and it appears that this is something that they are trying out with a "hot property" ...
I think people will chaffe in general at having to pay to see a TV show that they have always been bale to watch for free. I think that this will backfire on them.
Your thoughts, ladies and gentlemen?
