With Star Trek: Discovery, CBS Discovers That TV Ain't Easy Anymore:   
      
   "Television: The final frontier. These are the voyages of the legacy broadcast    
   network CBS. Its apparently never-ending mission: to explore strange new   
   revamps    
   of old shows, to seek out fully integrated distribution models and new revenue    
   streams. To boldly go where, to be honest, a few other networks with studios   
   and a    
   couple powerful streaming video on demand services have already gone before.    
   SHWOOOOM!"   
      
      
   "There's trouble in them thar stars, though. The aim of TV networks—sorry,    
   "content creators"—is to make good shows, reach a broad audience, and make    
   money. Except in the modern era of streaming video, like the old saying about    
   home repair, Hollywood tends to pick any two. As an experienced industry   
   insider    
   tells me, “television is on fire, and everyone is running around flipping    
   tables.” With Discovery, CBS is, like some remote starbase, hoping the   
   United    
   Federation of New Subscribers will come to its aid. Will they?   
      
   Three words: Shields up, everyone."
