Here are 5 reasons that it’s a great idea for CBS’s new Star Trek show to be aired exclusively on their streaming service CBS All Access.

CBS is going to show the first episode of their new Star Trek series on broadcast TV, and then show the rest of the series exclusively on their streaming service CBS All Access.

This is the biggest factor in the pro category because if new Star Trek had to be on broadcast television we might not be getting a new Star Trek.

So CBS All Access may have been the factor that allowed new Trek to be created.
