CBS Adds "Ad Free" Option To Streaming That Still Has Ads

For an extra $5 a month, you can pay for an "ad-free" version of CBS All Access that will still have ads. Variety reports that although the network is promoting its upgraded subscription will be "free of ads," you'll still most certainly see them on the service. While you'll be able to watch your on-demand shows without advertisements (minus promotional cut-ins...which many would consider ads), the live TV service will still feature the commercials you see on television. 

Don't get me wrong, I don't expect CBS to change the way they do their broadcast television, but it sounds like this "upgrade" just means "a few less ads than you had before."

I hate to beat a drum like I'm bashing it, but I still think it's bull s*** this new Star Trek series is exclusive to their streaming platform! Especially when I get the news that the series will be heading to Netflix in other countries! I'm hoping with their continuing issues that CBS just throws their hands up and gives people what they want...but that's not likely.
