Apple Targets April Launch for Video Service [Report]

Apple is targeting an April or early May launch for its new video service, reports CNBC. The service will include free original content for device owners and a subscription platform for existing services.

It will allow customers to sign up for existing digital streaming products and watch them in the iOS TV application, similar to Amazon's Prime Video Channels. Apple wants to simplify mobile video viewing by housing content in one app instead of forcing users to launch separate apps for each service.

Lions Gate's Starz; CBS, which owns Showtime; and Viacom are expected to work with Apple's service. Unfortunately, sources say Netflix will not participate and HBO's participation is in doubt.
