Also, while currently a show like Star Trek Discovery is distributed outside the US and Canada by Netflix, Moonves also revealed that CBS All Access will be available internationally in the future. Separately, CBS revealed the name of its new streaming sports network, CBS Sports HQ. The first two employees named are Chris Hassell and Danny Kannell.

Helping to explain CBS' growing interest in building up streaming, Moonves repeatedly stated that the economics there favor his company even as cord-cutting grows. He said "At CBS, when a consumer switches from a traditional to a skinny bundle, we get double the fees."

Update: The Hollywood Reporter cites anonymous sources indicating the new show will hail from Jordan Peele (Key & Peele, Get Out) and his Monkeypaw Productions company.
