Didn't you hear about the Star Trek Discovery controversy. It's only available on CBS all access (streaming, it's not airing) in the USA to help launch their own streaming service. It's still on Space channel in Canada (although that's a premium channel), can't get it on regular channels.

I think that alot of those single channel streaming services will die out after a bit because they can't offer enough content to warrant the price and there's just too many. It's why all-in-one streaming services like netflix will become the new cable tv and alot of those channels will give in to it.

I don't understand why cable companies aren't more forward thinking with streaming. They're isps as well, yet their streaming service is archaic, with vcr controls locked out to make you watch commercials. Maybe they can't legally, but if I were them I would make the whole lot automatically available for streaming when it airs, commercials and all, like a pvr on steroids. I guess the infrastructure is still not up to the task of streaming to all customers. Plus the networks are probably the ones that don't want people to ffwd commercials.
