Pointing out sources acquainted with the matter, Bloomberg reported Thursday that Apple TV+ might as quickly as Monday be debuting a wildly affordable package on the duo of premium streaming homes owned by ViacomCBS. According to the report, the rate for these services– which cost $11 and $6 each month, respectively– could be available through Apples television app for $10 monthly, so less than the expense of Showtime alone. Bloomberg noted users would have to have an active Apple television+ account, though, which costs an additional $5 per month.
A spokesperson for ViacomCBS decreased to comment. Apple did not right away return a query about the reported package.

Hot on the heels of brand-new reports about Apples own upcoming app packages, Apple television+ may be preparing to release an affordable bundle for a set of great third-party streaming services: Showtime and CBS All Access.

As Bloomberg kept in mind, that the discount would be provided exclusively to customers of its streaming service makes good sense for an item that has, at least for now, extremely little of its own material. Till Apple has the ability to press out more material there, its going to continue having a bumpy ride making a case for itself. Though, the veritable whos who of directors set to debut television shows and motion pictures for the platform definitely appears to suggest that may quickly alter.
In the meantime, CBS All Access and Showtime both provide a strong lineup of material– Star Trek: Picard!– that makes the 3 services together a bit more appealing for $15 a month.

G/O Media might get a commission
