CBS All Access debuts in Apple TV Channels on July 29

CBS' streaming service, CBS All Access, will arrive on Apple TV Channels in late July, granting cord cutters using Apple devices the ability subscribe and enjoy content from the popular broadcaster's library.

The upcoming availability was quietly announced in a post to the streaming service's official Twitter account on Thursday.

"Hi! Thank you again for your interest! We wanted to update you and let you know that the CBS All Access Channel will launch on Apple TV Channels on 7/29! Happy streaming!" according to the tweet.

The tweet was first spotted by 9to5Mac.

Apple mentioned CBS All Access by name when it unveiled Apple TV Channels at a special event in March, saying customers would be able to access the service as an Ã¡ la carte subscription option. When the feature launched with iOS 12, however, CBS All Access and a number of other promised content providers were not immediately integrated.

Apple ultimately launched Apple TV Channels alongside iOS 12.3 and tvOS 12.3 with support for Cinemax, EPIX, HBO, MTV Hits, Showtime, Smithsonian, Starz and Tastemade.

Apple TV Channels debuted as part of a reworking of the Apple TV app. With Channels, users are able to subscribe to and watch over-the-stop streaming services directly in the Apple TV app. The streamlined system replaces one that required customers to manage subscriptions through third-party apps run by content providers.

I lost interest at “subscribe”. You can bet it’s not free.

Yeah, subscribe typically means pay on a regular interim.

Sucks to be the consumer these days.

For a while it seemed things were we’re lining up nicely to ditch the greedy cable companies and get great new tech deals with just a couple providers.

Now all the content tent is broken up as everyone and their mom are doing their own service.

Cbs sucks outside of a couple properties. No thanks. Disney + just killed a great value in Netflix, Apple doing their own, etc. sheesh. By the time you’re done, you spend more than cable.

It’s like music prior to iTunes. A mess.

And there is no one to fix it anymore.

And now NBC/Comcast announced their own service starting in 2020. I keep thinking imagine if every nig name record label had their own streaming service instead of nearly everything being available on AM, Spotify, Google ect. It would suck. I guess the TV and movie industry sees how the music industry is in a world of hurt and says they’re not going down that route.
