I hope not! :wtf:
Star Trek New Star Trek Series Premieres January 2017[^]:
The next chapter of the Star Trek franchise will also be distributed concurrently for television and multiple platforms around the world by CBS Studios International.
That does seem to imply it'll be available on regular TV channels, and won't require a subscription to CBS All Access. If not, I suspect it'll quickly rival Game of Thrones for the most illegally-downloaded TV series.

Re-read the first paragraph, then the one you quoted, to put it back into proper context. The first episode will air on TV. The rest of the series will be exclusive to their streaming service.
That's not what the sentence I quoted implies. But as I said, if they do restrict it to their US-only streaming service, and don't let anyone outside of the US see it, then it will end up on a lot of illegal download sites.

CBS President has made a point of clarifying that the broadcast network is not involved[^] so it does look like the intention is to make it exclusive to the streaming service. The first nzb's will no doubt be hitting Usenet about 30 minutes afterward like they have for every other 'exclusive'.
I am not a number. I am a ... no, wait!

New Star Trek Series Premieres January 2017[^] The big question: will it be any good? Discuss.
Bad command or file name. Bad, bad command! Sit! Stay! Staaaay...
IIRC it's set in jjabrams startravesty universe. I predict it will be something like this, only firing from both ends at once: X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| X| &nbs

No doubt. The Trek nerd sites have already debated this. It'll be streaming only, except for the first episode.
If that's really the case, then the producers are a bunch of idiots. :doh:
