Other SVOD companies approached CBS about making a new Trek show

[Quinton O'Connor]

From TrekCore. Per Variety.

What’s more, CBS has been approached by more than one SVOD rival interested in reviving a “Star Trek” series. That told network execs it was a no-brainer to steer the show to CBS All Access, which is also home to the previous five “Trek” TV series, starting with the original 1966-69 edition.

Plenty more at the link. This is interesting, if not unexpected. We've known there have been pitches, of course, but have we ever before known for sure that companies such as Netflix, Amazon, and Yahoo! (could be any of them, could even be all of them) have contacted CBS about it? Pretty cool. On the flipside, it's frustrating (if, again, not unexpected) that such interest would help propel CBS execs into pulling the trigger on an All-Access route.

Thanks. I'm on mobile right now; it's easier to miss the memos.

If a mod could move this I'd appreciate it.
