CBS All Access has launched in Canada marking its international debut, offering Canadians over 7,500 commercial-free episodes from their TV catalogue, for the price of $5.99 per month. Users will also be able to live stream CBSN, the 24-hour live streaming news service.
A CBS All Access subscription will also include current seasons of the network’s prime-time shows, at almost 20 titles, including NCIS, Survivor, Elementary and Madam Secretary, The Late Show with Stephen Colbert, and others such as The Good Wife, Hawaii Five-O and Charmed. New episodes of current shows will air seven days after they hit TV.
“The launch of CBS All Access in Canada is a significant milestone for the service,” said CBS Interactive President Marc DeBevoise, in a statement. “We’ve experienced incredible growth domestically and see a great opportunity to bring the service and CBS’ renowned programming directly to international audiences across a range of platforms and devices.”
Those seeking to watch Star Trek: Discovery, will be sad to find out it’s not included, as Bell Canada has rights to the series.
CBS announced it would be expanding All Access to Canada last August, as part of its plan to expand streaming offerings internationally for the first time.
The service right now is available across all screens, on iOS, Android, the web and on Apple TV. It currently comes with a one month free trial.

That’s cool… shame about Star Trek though. American companies make much better apps than Canadian content providers too at the time… and that matters.
I think this is fantastic and a great price point! Especially when you look at the cost of pick and pay channels for existing service providers. This has way more value!
The price is reasonable but they don’t carry anything worth watching and the absence of Star Trek points to a real problem with country by country distribution agreements. When does Bell’s hold on what we can watch in Canada expire?
I don’t understand the first line in the article:

First time it’s available outside of USA.
Sorry but segmentation will not encourage people to cut the cord. All shoes on all channels on all services. Compete on service features, not show selection.
Anyone know how many devices can stream at once on the same account?
