Would you pay US$30 a month to watch TV via iTunes? That’s the pitch Apple has been making to TV networks in recent weeks, Peter Kafka writes in a report for AllThingsD.
He says the company is trying to round up support for a monthly subscription service that would deliver TV programs via its multimedia software. Quoting “multiple sources,” Kafka says Apple isn’t tying the proposed service to a specific piece of hardware, like the Apple TV or the rumored iPad/iTablet, but is touting the offer as an extension of its iTunes software.
A so-called “over the top” service could theoretically rival the ones most consumers already buy from cable TV operators “if Apple is able to get enough buy-in from broadcast and cable TV programmers,” Kafka adds.
