Will CBS air PIC on their regular TV network?

Apologies if this was asked before (I searched beforehand and didn't find this asked on this site), but will we see any episodes of PIC aired on CBS' regular TV channel? Just like CBS had been airing SOME but not every episode of DIS? I remember the first episode of Discovery aired sometime around its initial release as a way to "promote" the show and a year or two later they aired an episode for three consecutive Thursday nights and after that just dropped it from their roster out of nowhere. However they never did this for Star Trek: Picard... yet. Could they repeat this with PIC? I mean, I don't anticipate airing all 10 episodes of Season 1 of PIC but it would be cool to see PIC on CBS.

As an aside, since I don't have CBS All Access to watch PIC, I suppose my only other option if CBS never adds it to their airing schedule, is to buy the episodes off Amazon's streaming services.
 
I would assume that they do this at some point, yeah. I mean it might potentially bring in some new viewers, so they really don’t have anything to lose.
 
Cbs had Star Trek Picard Remembrance to watch for free on Youtube on their Paramount channel for a brief time that's how I got interested in wanting to watch the rest of the first season.It woud be nice if they had the first season 2 Picard show on Cbs. But We'll just have to wait an see if they have any news about when season 2 comes out next year.
 
I thought the only reason season 1 of Disco aired on regular CBS last fall was due to the pandemic screwing up everything. Their regular shows couldn't begin their seasons any earlier than November, and there were some that waited until January. They needed something to burn-off during September and October, so they went with Disco season 1. Unless there's a similar situation in the coming years, I wouldn't hold my breath on them airing Picard.

The show is available on DVD and Blu-ray.

Well, I think we might be approaching breath-holding territory soon.
 
Aside from bleeping the f-word, I don't see any issues with airing PIC S1 on the main network.
