The International Business Times is exclusively reporting that Apple is close to signing what could be a significant deal with HBO.
HBO could make Apple TV a launch partner next month when its eagerly anticipated new streaming service launches.
HBO and streaming partner Major League Baseball Advanced Media are working to have the standalone service, called “HBO Now,” ready to launch in April in conjunction with the premiere of the fifth season of “Game of Thrones.”
"HBO’s corporate parent, Time Warner Inc., will rely on a whole new line of distributors (e.g., Apple TV, Roku, Xbox, PlayStation, Amazon, etc.) to help market HBO Now to an estimated 10 million U.S. broadband subscribers who do not pay for a cable TV bundle," the IBT reports.
We're told that a deal with Apple could possibly be announced at any time.
