Apple, HBO reportedly in talks to partner for launch of stand-alone streaming service<div class="field field-name-body field-type-text-with-summary field-label-hidden"><div class="field-items"><div class="field-item even" property="content:encoded"><p class="intro">Apple and HBO are reportedly in talks over HBO's upcoming stand-alone streaming service. Rumored to be called HBO Now, the
Apple TV would be one of the launch partner devices for the service.</p> <!--break--> <p>Apple has apparently been fairly aggressive in their attempt to land the service on the Apple TV. The company might also offer HBO Now as a separate app from HBO Go, the HBO on-demand service currently on their set-top box. From
The International Business Times:</p>
<p>Apple has been most aggressive in courting HBO in a bid to add the service to Apple TV, sources say. Apple TV already carries HBO Go for current HBO subscribers, but it may add a second app for HBO Now. Apple has spent the past several years negotiating for the rights to offer its own linear TV package; in the meantime, HBO Now is seen as an added service to drive adoption of Apple TV.</p>
<p>HBO
announced in late 2014 that they would be launching their own streaming service at some point this year. The company is reportedly working with streaming partner Major League Baseball Advanced Media to have the service up and running in April to coincide with the premiere of the fifth season of Game of Thrones. HBO will reportedly set the price at around $15 per month, roughly on par what you would pay with a cable subscription.</p> <p>Source:
