After a break, the Star Trek franchise is returning to Netflix. The global streamer has picked up the animated kids series for the U.S. and most international territories in a deal with CBS Studios…
Excluded from the deal are Canada, where Prodigy is carried by CTV.ca and the CTV App, and in SkyShowtime’s European territories: the Nordics, the Netherlands, Portugal, Spain and Central and Eastern Europe.
Wow, Canada must charge a lot more for cable than the US then. When I cut the cord in 2012 I was paying about $60 USD per month. I just got an offer for $70/mo for 2 years. You are paying more then that at least.
I was paying $120ish for cable in 2014 (not including cable internet, with that it was nearly $200). We would have cut the cord earlier, but without cable our internet went way up and we may as well have had cable too.
Weird that it’s excluded in Canada - since it won’t be streaming on Crave as well as broadcast on CTV Sci-fi.
Up to now, Netflix has been able to get the streaming rights to CTV Sci-Fi Channel shows if Crave doesn’t take the complementary streaming portion of the Canadian market.
This Canadian currently pays for:
The CTV App can fuck itself. I’ll be pirating the show and I’m not even ashamed.-
Jeeze, I wasn’t even aware that Gem had a paid tier…

You pay more for streaming then cable used to cost.
Not quite, but it’s getting closer.

Yeah, they tried that here too. Luckily the state stepped in and made it hard for the cable company to monopolize the system like that.

It’s a little clear, but I think there’s a chance it will show up on CTV Sci-Fi. We’ll have to see.
