I will seriously consider Paramount+ if they add the Star Trek content. Crave is garbage for the cost and Bell is a horrible company.

There is an over-saturation of streaming services out there. After you pay for Disney+, Prime, Netflix, Hulu, Paramount+, etc… it ends up costing you so much money. I don’t subscribe to Crave, I am watching on CTV Sci-Fi. I cancelled my Netflix and just have Amazon Prime. It is the same thing that happened in the 90s with all the specialty channels. Remember when TLC was actually the Learning Channel?

I never subscribed to Crave and always watch on the CTV Sci-Fi channel so this does not immediately affect my viewing of Star Trek.
That said, I am concerned that this the first step to making it available only on Paramount+ in Canada instead of Bell media’s cable specialty Sci-Fi channel. We shall see!

The message on the show pages that said the shows were leaving Crave in July is now gone.
This is very confusing.

Weird since paramount just removed all the trek movie 2-3 months ago so very inconsistant

I dislike Crave and detest Bell, so will be happy if it all moves to P+ (which I have for all the Yellowstone stuff).

Trek was originally on Paramount+ Canada then Bell threatened legal action and it was gone. I was about to cancel my P+ but if Star Trek is finally coming back home I’m keeping it. Crave is overpriced garbage.

Looks like I’ll be canceling Crave when this season of SNW ends. Star Trek is the only reason I have Crave at this point.

Man, this is disappointing. Even though Crave has pretty much the worst app/interface, I won’t be getting Paramount+ just for new Star Trek. Canadian streaming options are such a mess. At least Netflix still has classic Trek shows for a quick watch.

What bridge incident?

In reply to Dr Beckett.

In this case, for tv shows, you’ll have to wait for the physical media to be released and hope in the mean time nothing is spoiled. I liked seeing it each week when a new episode is released.
At the moment I don’t have Crave, but was really considering it, but I think this nixed it. :-/

It was only ever a matter of time before the streaming rights reverted to Paramount+ plus here in Canada — so this is no surprise. I’ve expected it for a long time. It sucks, though. Crave isn’t a great app, but it has a lot of other stuff that I watch…

This is probably fallout fom the bridge incident. There’s a lot of media pressure on Paramount right now to protest your lack of security up there.

It does not matter to me because I always PVR the new Star Trek shows.

Other than for Discovery, Star Trek never left Netflix in Latinoamerica. Given how it’s vanishing from Paramount+ and other services in other countries, hopefully it never will.

Is CTV Sci-fi commercial free?

Paramount is such an absolute mess of a company.

They must be relieved Warner Bros Discovery are an even bigger one to deflect attention!

I am one sad Canadian Trekkie. I will say however that Netflix Canada still has all the legacy Trek shows (minus TAS). So there is that.
