Yet another Star Trek channel has been added to Pluto TV
By Chad Porto
Star Trek fans have not had to go far to find places to find the best episodes the franchise has ever produced. The television channels, MeTV and Heroes and Icons, both have blocks dedicated to the classic franchise, with Star Trek's original series getting play on both channels, and The Next Generation, Voyager, Deep Space Nine, and Enterprise getting near-daily blocks dedicated to it on Heroes and Icons.
That's not all, however, if you're a Star Trek fan who wants more than a Saturday night experience on MeTV or wants more than just an hour of a specific series six nights a week on Heroes and Icons, there's always the streaming service Pluto TV.
The free streaming service featured the original series, The Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine across two channels, but due to the popularity of Deep Space Nine on the service, a Deep Space Nine channel will now mark the third Star Trek streaming channel for the service. Not only that, but it's the first channel with a dedicated show.
The Star Trek channel features the original series and The Next Generation while the More Star Trek channel features Voyager and Deep Space Nine, though now it's likely to focus solely on Voyager since Deep Space Nine has its own channel.
It's likely that the goal is to get a fourth channel and have the original series, The Next Generation, Voyager, and Deep Space Nine all with their own specific channel. Not only that but there are specific seasons of each of the four shows available to watch for free on-demand.
As of right now, the only series from the golden era to not feature at all in any way on the service is the Scott Bakula-backed series, Star Trek: Enterprise, though it seems like that shows addition is only a matter of time.
