The servie package will consist of 25 channels. The announcement is expected to be in summer, and an access to the television from Apple will be able in September-October.
It is noteworthy that in autumn the service will be launched on the full range of mobile devices running iOS, including iPhone, iPad and the Apple TV set-top box.
Apple has already made a deal with the popular American HBO channel. Next in turn is Fox, ABC, CBS.
Most likely, the service will not be free: the subscription fee for one month will amount to about $40.
The main idea of Apple-TV is to provide its customers with a package with only popular channels, excluding a large number of small channels in a standard set of programmes via cable television.
In 2010 Steve Jobs presented the new compact version of the Apple TV digital player.
