When CBS and Viacom split, CBS got the television half of the business and Viacom/Paramount got the movie half of the business. This included splitting franchises like Star Trek into TV and movie halves. This was a big part of what went into the decision to set the JJ movies in an alternate TOS-era universe, for instance: being able to proceed without having to let CBS have any creative control over the movies/share the profits with them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think I read that CBS/Viacom are worth 30 billion total, it's not they are are the monster DIsney or Fox are. But still, less competing interests are always a bad thing. And an article on what this means for Star Trek: https://deadline.com/2019/08/star-trek-universe-cbs-viacom-merger-franchise-united-1202667413/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
