If CBS (NYSE: CBS) wants its premium digital platform to "live long and prosper," it better hope that Sunday night's debut of Star Trek: Discovery wooed more than just longtime fans of the sci-fi franchise. The media giant aired the new series' first show last night on its namesake network. It's also the last time that Star Trek: Discovery will air on CBS itself.The new show will stream exclusively on CBS All Access, where folks pay $5.99 a month for access to stream live local CBS feeds, 9,000 episodes of current and previous shows, and exclusives to the platform including Star Trek: Discovery with limited commercial interruptions.
