I would guess CTV would want to do a weekly release, as normal television goes, and Netflix putting out all the episodes at once kind of ruins that. People who want to watch will go online and pirate/VPN it from Netflix. So them putting it on their tv line up ends up being business-stupid.
But why not just stream and also put them all out at once, too? Must they also broadcast on television? I really don’t know the intricacies of television networks. CTV has the rights for both (otherwise they couldn’t do both), but I presume it’s only their own internal policies that would prevent an online-only release.

Also @GoodAaron@startrek.website has confirmed on his Mastodon account that CTV continues to retain the licence but the EPs didn’t have any news on when it might run either.
I have to wonder if there are any standard ‘use it or lose it’ clauses that crystallize after a certain point in the contracts for streaming licences.
