Apple really wants you to be able to watch live channels on its new Apple TV set-top, but as the song goes, you can’t always get what you want.</p><p>
According to a new report from
Bloomberg, Apple is delaying the announcement of its new Internet-powered live TV streaming service until at least 2016, as negotiations with TV networks like ABC, CBS, NBC, and Fox continue to stall. The holdup has to do over the subscription price for the service. Apple wants to give viewers a mini-bundle of select TV channels for about $40 a month, roughly half of the typical cable bill. TV networks, on the other hand, expect to be paid more than what they get from current providers.</p><p class="jumpTag"><a href="/article/2971212/streaming-services/report-apple-is-delaying-its-live-tv-service-until-2016.html#jump">To read this article in full or to leave a comment, please click here[/url]</p></section></article>
