What are they buying?
Subscribers have access to every show CBS has ever aired, although personally, I don't see much value in such a service.

I think it's dumb. The first 13 episodes of a new Star Trek series will cost a minimum of $60 million dollars, which means, they'll need 7,700,000 subscribers for the first 13 weeks in order to break even.

I'm guessing that outside of a very small amount of diehards, most of the viewership will come after the initial 13 weeks so that people can binge watch 13 episodes for $5.99.

Whatever the case, this doesn't seem like a very good or well-thought out idea, especially since NBC, ABC and Fox are free.

According to a conference call held with reporters by CBS’s president, Les Moonves, the new Star Trek series will debut in January 2017, with one episode released per week. It’s not much different from how CBS airs its programs now, except that “All Access” will cost an extra $6 a month. T

he news that Star Trek was returning to TV excited devoted fans of the franchise, but online chatter mostly focused on how quickly they’d be able to watch the season before unsubscribing from the service. The fan site TrekCore acknowledges, sadly, that such a “binge and bail” tactic won’t be possible—which is exactly what CBS wants. As cable cord-cutting grows more common among younger viewers, networks need to find a new way into their pockets, which is why the weekly cliffhanger may not be going anywhere anytime soon.
LMFAO

These clowns never learn. TO THE SHIP!

I thought it was okay for what it is. It's not like there's footage to use yet ...

Beats the hell out of that macgyver promo. Sheesh...

The VFX appeared really low rent. I don't know if that's because of the render or not.

Also, I can't figure out how they're going to pull off a January 2017 air date when they haven't even announced a cast or begun principle photography (let alone, VFX).

I'm guessing the actual creative team for the show had nothing to do with the promo.

Watched it on my phone...

I'm with you, I'm not sure how they're going to get it ready to air weekly in 8 months without a cast.

Maybe somebody is already working on externals (ships, space, etc). Still would have a lot of mundane vfx to do in a very short time, basically anything involving a cast member. No telling how much of their sets would even be practical.

Well, it not like it's a movie. TV shows generally don't get that kind of lead time. For a convenient example, TNG was still casting in April of 1987 and the pilot aired in September.

Worse than I imagined?

Putting together a well funded series is difficult enough without announcements and promos but good grief, Moonves should know better.
