So far Apple’s only venture into TV has been via its Apple TV box, which makes it easier for users to gets Web TV on their conventional TV. But with a couple of exceptions, Apple doesn’t sell the programming that’s on the Apple TV box. Now it looks like it may want to step into that role.
Industry executives say Apple is in talks with TV programmers about deals that would allow Apple to offer an “over the top” pay-TV service, like the one Dish has started selling with its Sling TV product, and the one Sony is getting ready to launch.
