With many suggesting the end might be near for output deals it looks like Ten is set to pick up big time in the CBS output deal. Many new shows and comedies being produced by CBS and the fact that CBS have their All Access area with series including Star Trek and The Good Wife Spinoff. Ten would be wise to cash in on this and introduce a Crime Network of some kind. Shows like Macgyver, Limitless (if it is picked up by another network), NCIS franchise etc could be put on this channel. Shows like Star Trek can continue on Eleven - and Eleven can have special back stage shows of the main channels reality franchise. One can then continue to show their current movie, doco combinations.
I would think the streaming content like the good wife and Star Trek would go to stan as they have a streaming deal with cbs.
But I donât think any of the new shows announced by any of the US networks would work on free to air main channels in the next season. Seems like a very boring line up. Nothing with good buzz.
I agree. But I donât think overseas content will ever work on a main channel again. Thats not to say it wont be a hit on a mulitchannel. I could see shows like NCIS etc really thriving on a multichannel. Potentially hitting around the 300k mark. Which would essentially be a hit for them.
