Apple has plans to launch a subscription television service by Christmas this year, according to a recent report from the New York Post. The paper states that Apple wants the service to treat channels like apps, allowing the user to purchase subscriptions for either individual channels or groups of channels a la carte.
Apple has long been rumored to be pitching the service to top media executives, but according to the Post,
the negotiations are not going well. Eddie Cue is reportedly leading
the talks and content providers have seemingly not been partial to his
propositions. Apple’s pitch can be summed up as “we decide the price, we
decide what content,” one of the Post’s sources said.
