"CBS All Access"? Nobody wants to buy individual streaming services from every studio/network. Stop trying to make it happen. Just sign a deal with Netflix or Amazon[1] and accept you missed the boat.
[1] And really Amazon is only acceptable because it's free.[2]
[2] Given that having Prime is pretty much non-negotiable anyway.
- rhino369 11y agoNetflix and Amazon don't seem to be interested in becoming the Comcast or direct tv of the Internet. The amount of content Netflix and Amazon can create is limited. They cannot pay for every tv show for 100-120 bucks a year. Look at what a mature company like HBO produces for 180 a year. 3-5 hour long prestige dramas. 5-8 half hour comedies. Some low expense reality tv like Bill Mayer or Real Sports. Netflix may be able to scale better, if they get 80% of households they can go cheaper. But they aren't going to be q total replacement for all media. And you don't want them too. One company with control over all media would be a disaster.
