Why are the number of shows so limited for cbs on demand? Currently only 7 shows appear under the cbs on demand button
The number of tv shows for cbs and abc are extremely limited when using the on demand feature. There was a time when I would search cbs on demand an excess of 30 tv shows would populate, but now there are only 7 tv shows being displayed and available.

CBS has moved MOST of their streaming programs to CBS All Access and according to this article in Business Insider that will be replaced by Paramount Plus in March.
Instead of using a provider to offer On Demand, many (most?) are now using their OWN streaming services. NBC recently launched their streaming service PeacockTV and ABC has their streaming service.
Discovery+ is the newest streaming service that is offering the majority of the Discovery family of channels On Demand shows to a paid streaming service.
Streaming services is a way for the networks to have additional revenue and is apparently the wave of the future, like it or not.

I definitely don't like it. I already pay a monthly fairly hefty price for my Dish. Just last week I watched an episode of 2 shows I missed - one a daytime show, one a prime time show. This week with no warning they don't even show up on my On Demand screen. I feel CBS (as well as the other over the air channels parent companies) already make plenty of money. If they had original programming on their apps that do not air over the air I MIGHT consider paying for an app... But to do that all of a sudden? SHADY AF.

Dish?! Closing thread. If you feel this was done in error, open another, but be warned there is is likely no action to be taken as U-verse will eventually fade into full obsolescence.
