    Think of Sheridan’s soap operas as subsidizing the programming you actually want to watch. Star Trek isn’t enough to keep Paramount afloat in its current incarnation. Of course Paramount could always sell Star Trek rights to someone else.

      Does this happen much? My experience is these huge conglomerates tend to hoard IP and just sit on it if they aren’t using it.
