Late Show with David Letterman premiered 25 years ago today -- why isn't it available for streaming?

Decider

Letterman launched the CBS version of his late-night talk show on August 30, 1993. But every episode isn't available online 25 years later (and three years after Letterman's retirement). "This is my plea: CBS All Access needs to add The Late Show archives to its service, pronto," says Brett White. "Think about it like this: streaming services like to tout how much content they’re guaranteeing subscribers. The more hours of television, the more bang people think they’re getting for their monthly buck. The Late Show, which ran from 1993 until 2015, aired 4,263 episodes. That’s almost four solid months of bingeing, back-to-back with zero sleep (the way late night comedy was meant to be consumed)!" ALSO: Recalling Letterman's most memorable moments.
