I really wish Hallmark put more effort into reaching younger fans with their collections.
And even older fans like me would like some merch from the newer shows and not just more TNG, and TOS or even Enterprise.
Do they have any kind of realistic focus groups informing these selections?
A 90 minute animated streaming movie for either Netflix or Paramount could be great.
I suspect you’re correct on this.
I have been looking for a ‘special presentation’ on CTV linear as they have a track record of inserting those when they’re out of alignment with streaming releases.
Checking the CTV Sci-fi schedule on Thursday, July 5th at 9 pm - the usual slot for new Star Trek - Snowpiercer is shown. The rest of the evening has the usual Star Trek Voyager reruns.
Sigh.
The closest Chapman’s flavour to that might be Premium Chocolate & Brownies Ice Cream, but Rok herself might like the classic Rocket ice Lollies.
TrekCore is saying that in Canada season 1 will be available on the CTV app.
😞😢😭😿😿😿
The app won’t carry any new episodes On Demand until one day after they run on cable.
But the second season isn’t showing as a future option so that’s concerning.
I’m ever hopeful, but Prodigy isn’t a great fit with CTV Sci-fi Channel given theirs advertisers.
I’ve been checking CTV Sci-fi forward schedule in case a ‘special event’ might show up.
Complete void.
I believe their licence for Star Trek has expired so what’s already ordered is it.
Mine hasn’t arrived yet but it’s on the way.
Advertisers care mainly about 18-35 year olds, and now that streaming has ads that key demographic is important for the survival of the franchise.
Besides if the franchise hadn’t expanded its fanbase in the 90s it wouldn’t be viable now. And let’s face it, it’s not that significant outside North America. Gone are the days when US audiences were adequate for survival.
