The media company is expected to soon announce a major expansion of CBS All Access, the streaming platform launched by CBS’ interactive division in 2014. With CBS All Access and Showtime each at around 5 million subscribers, the target appeared to be ambitious without a major upgrade to its offerings. CBS All Access has an extensive library of current and past programs from CBS, including every iteration of the “Star Trek” series. It has offered two original shows based on the franchise: “Star Trek: Discovery” and the newly released “Star Trek: Picard.” The service also gives users a livestream of their local CBS-affiliated TV station. AdvertisementViacom currently has several streaming services aimed at niche audiences, including Noggin, aimed at preschool-age children and BET Plus for African American audiences.
