Subscribers have access to every show CBS has ever aired, although personally, I don't see much value in such a service.
I think it's dumb. The first 13 episodes of a new Star Trek series will cost a minimum of $60 million dollars, which means, they'll need 7,700,000 subscribers for the first 13 weeks in order to break even.
I'm guessing that outside of a very small amount of diehards, most of the viewership will come after the initial 13 weeks so that people can binge watch 13 episodes for $5.99.
Whatever the case, this doesn't seem like a very good or well-thought out idea, especially since NBC, ABC and Fox are free.
