Local Programming to Delay Apple’s Planned Web TV Service

Apple is reportedly planning to distinguish its upcoming TV service by featuring live content from local broadcast stations. However, offering local TV programming could delay a launch since agreements need to be negotiated with networks that also cover affiliates. “Industry executives don’t believe Apple has signed any TV programmers up for its service, which makes it unlikely that the company would announce its plans at its Worldwide Developers Conference, which kicks off June 8,” reports Re/code. “That said, TV executives who are talking to Apple are optimistic the service will launch eventually, and that the most important hurdle to clear will be money, not technical issues.”
