Not seen any info on this so just wondering if anyone knows, thanks 
Not sure if anyone said but will the first ep be over 1 hour or normal 45 minutes?

On my DVR for the one being aired on CBS - it gives it a 65 minute running time. Given in the U.S. an'hour' of TV usually means 40-42 minutes of actual program run time (and 18-20 minutes of commercials) - that would place it (including credits) at 45-47 minutes of actual run time for the first episode.Not seen any info on this so just wondering if anyone knows, thanks
[That said, as it's effectively a 'network special' to begin with (and a 'one off' in this regard), I'm sure CBS could either add more commercial time or less commercial time. Guess we'll need to actually watch to be sure.

My DVR has the same information.
Well, since I live in California - the game will be over LONG before 8:00 PM here (which is what my DVR says qill be the West Coast broadcast time. DirecTV allows you to 'see' what time something is showing on the East Coast of the U.S. (and it's 5:30 PM PST - 8:30 EST for you guys assuming said Football game doesn't run longer that expected due to calls, or copious use of Time outs and other ways to stop the game clock) - so, yeah, at least I know (baring power or Dish issues); I'll get it on my DVR from 8:00 -9:05 PM my local time.

It's a 2 part story. Part 1 On CBS and part 2 immediately following on CBSAA

Yeah, and I'm going to wait until Tuesday to sign up for my 'Free Week (7 Days)' <---- That way I can see the first 3 episodes before deciding if I want to sub to see the rest. (And yeah, I could technically wait until more episodes are actually available, but I like reading this BBS and want to be able to participate in the story threads for at least the first three episodes without too much of a delay.)
Will both parts be on AA right away?
Since I'm on an hour delay, I might just skip the broadcast and watch the whole thing of AA if possible.

.... for us Canadians.I just set my PVR last night and noticed 2 shows for Discovery. Wasn't sure if it was a 2 part thing or a 1 show and repeat right afterwards.
They're also doing a Star Trek movie marathon where this whole weekend, every Trek movie will be on.
Im getting hyped up.
That was my understanding as well. I'll have to switch over to our Xbox and use the CBS AA app to watch part two.
My calendar has the following information for the 24th
Details: September 24, 2017 - Star Trek: Discovery Premiere 8:30-9:30 PM, ET
Location: Basement Couch
According to my TV guide, it's an hour and 5 minutes, but that is with commercials. That makes me believe it might be maybe a 50 minute episode, maybe 48.
I'm a little put out over being held "hostage" this way. All Access has nothing else on there I can't watch a dozen different ways, either free, part of another service I have already or in my own home video library. Since I am not gonna just watch half of an episode, I'll skip this entirely. I hope it's great for everyone and for Star Trek in general. We need successful Star Trek. But, this easily could have been a Netflix series in the states.
So either I'll wait for the eventual home video release or until All Access is a big as Netflix or Amazon, giving me a wider variety of programming to justify my subscription.
My understanding is part 1 will be on all-accessa at 8:30 and part 2 at 9:30.
Here is the full description of the schedule from CBS.
When can you watch Star Trek: Discovery?
Star Trek: Discovery will air its first episode of the series on Sunday, Sept. 24 at 8:30/7:30c (time approximate following NFL Football and 60 Minutes) with a special broadcast premiere on the CBS Television Network. The episode will also be available to stream live and on-demand on CBS All Access.
Then, the second episode of Star Trek: Discovery will be made available on the CBS All Access that same night following the broadcast premiere.
After premiere night, all-new episodes will be made available on-demand weekly on Sundays after 8:30 ET/5:30 PT, exclusively for CBS All Access subscribers in the United States.
