Believe it or now there are no new HD movie additions to report for this Christmas Eve. So with that, on behalf of all the contributors here at Apple TV Junkie I would like to say a Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays to all our site visitors. Heres to more great HD content to come in 2010 and maybe a present from Mr.Jobs himself in the form of an updated Apple TV with a little TV subscription service on the side.
As reported by Reuters, looks like Apple is on the verge of signing a deal with CBS and Disney. Before you know it, we might be saying goodbye to the nice folks at the cable companies!
The planned subscription service by Apple may offer television shows from major networks for a monthly fee, which could significantly alter the television business, the paper said, citing people familiar with the matter.
Apple is aiming to complete licensing deals and expects to introduce the subscription service in 2010, the paper said.
The video strategy is part of Apple’s plan to overhaul its iTunes store, which sells downloadable music, video and games, the paper said.
Apple, CBS Corp and Disney were not available for comment.

Apple Movie Junkie, formerly Apple TV Junkie, is the official blog of Cinemira. We provide a helpful service for users of the iTunes Movie Store and the Apple TV. AMJ was born out of a surprising shortcoming on the Apple TV after noticing that there was no easy way to find a list of all new HD & SD rental titles released on a daily basis. AMJ fills that niche with a daily list of new movies.
