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.
Yeah, their ads are a lot more aggressive than they used to be. I recently started watching SkyMed with my wife and it's nearly unbearable - and they want $5/month to get rid of them. At least cable didn't just play the same 6 ads over and over. :/
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.
