It is currently unclear of the reasons for which Apple has prevented these streaming companies to join their service as everything has been surrounded with Apple’s usual air of mystery. The Wall Street Journal and CNBC have references some inklings of what may have occurred, but as of print, there have been no tangible reasons released as to why Apple has angered these publishers.
Apple now has networks including Lion’s Gate’s Starz, Viacom, and CBS as willing to participate. Without Netflix and its massive library, this seems to be a rather paltry amount of options for consumers who love scrolling through movies and tv shows.
Overall, it will be interesting to continue watching Apple and note how they may change the terms in order to attract more streamers.
