CBS All Access might become Paramount+
The Paramount+ name is already used internationally, so it would make sense as a CBS All Access replacement.

Considering Viacom also owns Pluto, they should just merge the two services. Make CBSAA the premium tier of Pluto, and add free streaming channels of CBSAA content to Pluto. Suddenly two lower-tier streamers become something almost worth paying attention to.

I associate Star Trek with Paramount way more than I associate Star Trek with CBS
This is overdue, It pains me as a giant Star Trek fan that it was basically the only piece of content on CBS All Access was their Star Trek stuff, and I could only justify paying $10 for commercial free 1-2 months a year to watch a season when it finished. Hopefully this is something I could even consider keeping as a regular sub

Part of the issue is that CBS is seen as an 'old person's brand' by Millennials™. (This is definitely because millennials are wrong, and not because CBS has almost exclusively made shows for your Dad for 20+ years)
How Paramount (a studio best known for multiple failed Star Trek movies & frequently being bailed out by Netflix) is the better brand option is beyond me.
I'm surprised they don't name it something like Viacom+ to represent the various properties they have instead of focusing only on things people associate with CBS or things people associate with Paramount. Comedy Central, CMT, MTV, TV Land, Nickelodeon, BET, Showtime, etc.
Of course, for whatever reason they seem to license out Comedy Central to HBO and Nick to Netflix so maybe they don't want to have an inclusive service but just stuff from here and stuff from there. Which makes no sense to me, the big reason they don't seem like a competitor to me is because a lot of their non Star Trek stuff is available elsewhere.

This dull, unimaginative branding smacks of 'we're going to be selling this dog & pony show in a few years anyway so what difference does it make what we call it'?
At least Comcast put some effort into a name for their streaming platform......even if it isn't a very good one.

It's not just oversaturation. If you're not a Trek fan (or a Big Brother fan in Summer) what is unique about the service to get you to subscribe? A ton of their best stuff is on other services, mainly Netflix.
Even with oversaturation if you have something that is unique and in demand, you'll get people to subscribe for a bit and rotate their services. Disney + doesn't have much new stuff but they have an excellent catalog for kids. HBO has branding issues but just the HBO content alone was enough to let people subscribe to it (let alone if they have some kind of GoT style hit again), and the price is exactly the same as pre-Max. Prime still has Prime shipping as the main draw, but they do have some compelling originals like the Boys. I'm not sure what CBS or Peacock have.
Just give me a Trek series following DS9 already.
I plan on watching Picard this weekend in between Fandome. Don't know if it's any good.
I know they have Trek and Trek is good but, like, they still feel like the 'one too many' network even with D+ and HBO Max coming after they did. Even just branding wise it's 'pretty' obvious what the former offer and I'm not sure what All Access even has besides Trek and Twilight Zone and I paid for it for a month during quarantine.
Peacock is silly too but it's free and 'remember how 30 Rock, The Office, and Parks were on NBC' seems like an easy mental bridge.
This is my way of complaining that other countries get the Trek shows on Netflix.
It's ok.

I feel like Viacom fucked up this streaming service already cause they sold so many rights to their properties to other streaming services just in the last year
Like south park to Hbo Max, all the nickelodeon stuff to Netflix ie avatar, and didnt netflix strike a deal with Nick to produce new shit for them too? Bet they regret that shit

Paramount+ is a better name than CBS All Access, but that's a low bar.
Wet Dog Farts+ is a better name than CBS All Access.

Idiotic.
Why would you logically associate CBS, Viacom cable channels and sports with Paramount?

I would love it, but with two key cast members no longer with us and Brookes apparently having zero interest in Trek nowadays, I don't see it ever happening.
There's no way I'll be a regular subscriber to such a limited service, but here's one possible positive that could justify all these studios making services: Giving access to old vaults. If studios, on various services, open their vault, back to the 30s I mean, I will gladly pay for a month now and then to watch golden age Hollywood movies.
