Apple's plan to sell a package of about 14 channels for $30 to
$40 a month has run into resistance from media companies that
want more money for their programing, Bloomberg reported, citing
a person with knowledge of the matter.
Apple was in discussions with broadcasters such as CBS Corp and
Twenty-First Century Fox Inc to license programing. But a lack
of content led Apple to scrap plans to announce the service at a
Sept. 9 event, Bloomberg reported earlier.
Bloomberg said Apple had not given up entirely on releasing an
Internet TV service, which has slowly been pulling viewers away
from traditional television service providers.
An Apple spokesman declined to comment on the report.
