WIN is a seperate company and CBS has no control over that.
Possibly the CBS eye blinks to ten? They used to have that as an element when widescreen was a new thingā¦

I think a smart and bold move would be to ditch 1 and 11 and effectively run Ten and CBS as two primary channels with background efficiencies (though they would of course, counterprogram each other as to not compete).
However, they hardly have enough premium content to fill one channel let along two.
I could see
(eye) TEN
(eye) TEN Drama
(eye) TEN Reality
(eye) TEN Action
etc.
I watched the later channels (branded CBS Dramaā¦) in Ireland a few months ago.

Well Iād be expecting All Access to launch around November given the promotional push Ten could mount.
Rights start in 2019 for Ten.

So thereās a strong possibility we may be seeing the CBS Eye logo more frequently in TENās branding since itās already in usage in-house on Stationary? Interesting to see how TENās On-Air Presentation shapes up next yearā¦ 
Oooo that would look great.
What sort of older content would we see on CBS All Access ? I ask because Iām sure most CBS titles are either tied to Stan or free to air networksā¦
Would shows like 2 Broke Girls be possibly on CBS All Access or is this a WB show ? I canāt think of any CBS titles from the last 5 to 10 years that could be on their serviceā¦ could they have shows like older streamable seasons of Big Bang Theory? Even NCIS and Hawaii 5-0 are on Amazon Prime Video Australia. Will we see a lot of duplication?
Who knows? CBS back catalogue that isnāt exclusive to Stan etc will be on there. I am sure theyāre buying rights to things on the open market that hasnāt got a deal here. Thereās plenty of content out there that we arenāt seeing on any service here so theyāre probably quietly buying rights to programming.
Thereās Hulu content that hasnāt been purchased here that could also be bought.

Yeah Hulu shows have been going to Amazon Prime Video eg The Path, The Looming Tower and sometimes SBS (The Mindy Project) so will be interested to see what turns up on it when CBS All Access launches.
There will be the new Start Trek series with Captain Picard and The Twilight Zone. Lots of back catalogue to choose from; who knows in the US you can watch every season of Survivor.

I know a lot of dedicated Survivor fans who are very excited for All Access, especially if there is the ability to fast-track series.
Survivor is already fastracked same day as the US on 9GO, so I dont see that as a huge attraction.

Canāt speak for every Survivor Fan but I am excited. If our All-Access is anything like the US All-Access, we should get the entire American Survivor series.
I will definitely join if i get every survivor season.
Doesnāt Nine own the rights to the American Survivor?
