Weird that it’s excluded in Canada - since it won’t be streaming on Crave as well as broadcast on CTV Sci-fi.
Up to now, Netflix has been able to get the streaming rights to CTV Sci-Fi Channel shows if Crave doesn’t take the complementary streaming portion of the Canadian market.
Actually there’s both metric evidence and statements by senior Netflix executives that a show has to do well in the first few weeks to be renewed.
They’re also very committed to their drop it all at once, or at most in 2 parts per season.
So it creates an environment where shows are rarely renewed unless they are top of the streaming charts.
They may have a different decision criteria for kid and family shows though.
Paramount and WB, unlike Disney, never gave up on releasing physical media.
It was a billion dollar business in 2021 despite ideas that it’s dying out, and the advent of 4k releases is boosting that.
I saw an article in the metrics industry press last year saying that it was a major source of revenue for both, one that doesn’t get sufficiently taken into account on metrics for movies or television (whether originally linear or streaming) when making greenlight decisions.
Paramount Home Entertainment is a significant revenue generator and seems to know its marketing. Perhaps the people at the top of the firm should take them more into account.
I stand corrected.
But in one image the Drookmani has an apparent implant?
Fun fact. Canadian Thanksgiving originated in the old CofE harvest thanksgiving but got secularized, made statutory and fixed on the second Monday in October.
Pondering…🤔
If they are giving a special showing of Lower Decks S4E8 at NYCC, will it get the early release on Paramount+ and appear as a ‘special event on CTV Sci-Fi Channel?
Also, if they are promoting ‘news for Star Trek fans in attendance’, what do we hope to see?
release of Discovery S5 new trailer?
news on Saving Prodigy!
announcement of longer season for SNW S3?
Not just Bagey, not just assorted evil AI escapees from Daystrom security, but assimilated Klingons and Binars too.
Fun!
And perhaps a win for Rutherford?
Just realized that pricing is shown only in the body of the email.
Here’s a screenshot.
Thanks for asking.
I’m the same with screencaps.
We may have noticed. 🤫
Tempted to meet your facetiousness, but given how obtuse Paramount’s senior executives are, I’ll just say #SaveStarTrekProdigy.
I’m not seeing the coming in 2024 notice on my Netflix in Canada nor the option to be reminded when it’s released.
CTV’s app is still showing all 20 episodes of Prodigy season one listed as available for CTV Sci-fi Channel subscribers.
