Update - I have seen what the user on the Science Fiction Community was concerned about!
This is huge if not just an error in the Crave web pages.
If you go to the Crave pages for the various Star Trek shows, at the bottom there are ‘available to’ notices:
— Prodigy is available to July 24th
— Picard is available to July 31st
— Discovery to July 31st
— Lower Decks to July 31st
— TOS, TNG, Voyager, July 31st
— DS9 to July 24th
Well goshdarn it you're right, I see it too.
It will be very interesting to see how this plays out.
Glad we have the 4K discs of SNW season one.
Taking Trek of CTV Sci-fi Channel could kill it. There’s a bit of content they’re picking up from SyFy in the US, but with all but one of the CW shows canceled, and Bell Media making very few shows of their own, it won’t have the content for a premium cable channel.
Bell has been a tire fire for some time, so I won't be remotely surprised if the station folds.
Then again, maybe the series being pulled from the streamer is separate from them airing on TV.
Actually, the broadcast vs streaming rights might separate.
Bell Media has broadcast rights to SyFy and CW shows in Canada, but Crave hasn’t had the streaming licences.
If Paramount wants to put Star Trek on Paramount+ and PlutoTV in Canada, Bell Media might pass on a nonexclusive licence renewal for Crave while keeping the linear licences.
Is it still on Netflix? I lost access when they stopped password sharing but last I checked they had everything before Discovery.
Star Trek has been leaving Netflix in all countries as its licences run out.
It hasn’t been available in Canada other than through Bell Media’s platforms.
I have PlutoTV in Canada. Star Trek doesn’t come up when I search.
It’s also the case that Paramount+ offers little Star Trek in Canada.
Are you in Canada?
Sincerely that’s not taking me to anyplace available here.
That’s why @[email protected] and I are super curious to see what happens when all the shows other than SNW go off Crave at the end of July.
It’s arguable that Star Trek has been relatively more popular in Canada than any country, including the United States.
Bell Media has had the licences in Canada for both linear and streaming. (Netflix with a nonexclusive for the older shows is an exception.).
Extracting Star Trek from Bell Media couldn’t have been easy. Bell Media is a subsidiary of Bell Canada Enterprises (BCE) which has not only largest landline, fiberoptic and mobile telephone networks. Through Bell Media it owns the largest private television network, news channel. They also happen to be the general manager and part owner of Pinewood Toronto Studios where Discovery has had leases for its enormous soundstages.
Yes it does.
There are different licensing agreements in Canada, especially for Star Trek which is huge here. TNG was, during its run, the top show in Canada, not just in genres shows. Picard has spiked to that level in some of its season premieres.
Must have happened real recently, I was watching DS9 on Netflix in Canada in April.
edit: https://www.netflix.com/ca/title/70158330 ??
You are correct. The classic series are all still listed on Netflix in Canada.
I‘be never actually watched them there so they haven’t come up in my algorithm.
Oh thank God. Crave is the worst thing to happen to Streaming, ever. I would HAPPILY pay for a Paramount+ subscription (and stop d/ling stuff) to avoid having to try to watch things on Crave. Absolute garbage streaming quality, through the worst streaming app I've ever seen. Almost makes me wish Rogers won that war with the even worse service they had! At least when they brought it up to OTT standards they probably would have done a better job that the turkeys at Bell did with Crave. Does it even have 5.1? I'm quite sure it doesn't have HDR.
Paramount+‘s app is not well loved in the US from what I’ve seen.
However, Paramount+ can also be subscribed to through Amazon Prime if you have that already. Definitely an option to consider.
