The Apple TV streaming service announced some time ago will be presented to the general public most likely this June, as the mass-media sources have found out. The US giant is currently building an offer comprising approximately 25 channels from all over the country, including here major broadcasters such as CBS, Viacom, ABC, Discovery and Fox.

This package will be launched in September 2015 and will be compatible with Apple TV. iPhones, iPads and every type of iOS device. The streaming service might also include other major American channels, like FX and ESPN, since one of Apple’s goals is to address to larger on-demand virtual libraries, however it leaves out plenty of the smaller broadcasters.

Recently, Apple made a huge deal in mass-media, by earning the exclusive rights for HBO’s streaming services for several months, this leading to a significant decrease in Apple TV’s price.

Older rumors regarding new TV technology and devices from Apple, such as set-top boxes or even new types of TVs have constantly emerged for several years; but it seems that this year many of these speculations will become reality and, thus, major players on the market.

A package designed to fit any pocket

Apple is now discussing with programmers to have a much slimmed-down offer of TV networks, compared to what was predicted some time ago, due to the fact that several broadcasters did not accept the contract terms of the deals wanted by Apple.

Some specialists still believe that it will be quite hard for this brand new TV streaming service to have the recognized success without famous American channels, like NBC Universal for example, but Apple is currently negotiating with the majority of the other media corporations, including CBS, Disney or 21st Century Fox.

It is said that the predicted cost for this package of service will be an extremely affordable one, since it is aimed to cover a large area of potential customers. This news is linked to the previous reports from a few moths ago about Apple getting ready to launch a significantly innovated model of TV box that has attached to it a redesigned and much improved user-interface, but also a new type of remote control that could revolutionize this type of technology.

So, now it makes sense for the company to release its pair of streaming services and hardware in tandem during the course of this year. You might have a preview of what can be expected from this mutual package in April, when Apple’s exclusive contract with HBO will be presented in a common press conference.
