For some time now, the own productions broadcast by the cable / streaming giants have become the most popular series all over the world, not only in the United States. Clear examples are found with HBO's Game of Thrones and Netflix's House of Cards.
This new way of consuming content andYou are endangering the traditional television model, since we do not have to wait for the day of the corresponding broadcast, but in most of the times, these services hang the entire season in one go and we can do an intensive marathon to enjoy it in a few hours.
Apple is aware of this and according to the latest rumors published by The Street, Apple would be trying to make the jump to the production of television series for now to offer them through iTunes. If it finally launches its much-rumored television service in recent months, those series would be available through that new service.
Presumably, that Apple will offer a flat rate to be able to consume this type of content And that it does not cross his mind to offer single episodes or complete series for rent at a price that exceeds the 10 euros per month that most streaming services charge like HBO, Hulu and Netflix.
Everything seems to indicate that Apple is tired of failing to reach any mutually beneficial agreement to be able to create your cable television platform. After breaking negotiations with CBS, Apple is trying it with Time Warner, which owns HBO, with which it has already reached an agreement to offer its content through Apple TV, so the path should be shorter in order to reach an agreement.
