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. CBS believes that Star Trek can be the tentpole of their leap into the realm of streaming and make their service profitable, but will it be good for you?

Here are 5 reasons that the new Trek being on CBS All Access is a great idea:

WE GET NEW STAR TREK

Does anything matter after this?

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.
