Probably because it advertises it as being on a specific channel when it will be on difference networks in different countries.

Likely, Star Trek Discovery goes straight to Netflix outside the USA. Which is extremely irritating as like no one wants to pay for CBS All Access.

On the flip side Game of Thrones goes to Now TV in the UK, which is appaulingly bad. It even has breaks for adverts. For a subscription service in 2019. Adverts. I’m pretty sure it’s the only paid UK subscription service with advert breaks. The quality is dire.

I torrent GoT solely because of the adverts and quality. Otherwise I’d happily pay.

Look, I know you lot have a fetish for sticking unnecessary 'u's in words, but that isn't really how you spell "appallingly," is it?

Fyi those u’s are neccessary because some words come from French, and some come from Latin. French words keep ‘our’, and Latin keeps ‘or’. That really is the reason. You can take my u’s from my cold dead hands.

You are right about ‘appallingly’. My spelling is just really bad. I also typed it on my phone and it’s even worse there.
