Apple’s show time special event: what to expect from the TV and news service announcements https://t.co/9IsgKEVSRF pic.twitter.com/Lp4u2kayYJ

Apple doesn't want to run its own video service: It wants to run a video store. All those shows it is creating are meant to get you to buy more Showtime. https://t.co/KjGw9lSjc3

Ok I have just read this: https://t.co/TpB99VmWwT
— Molly Wood (@mollywood) March 21, 2019
And also this: https://t.co/Po7iA42yyf
And now I am wondering why everyone thinks they need or get to be the middle man in my cord cutting. Isn't that the reason I cut the cord in the first place?
In what I'm sure is a total coincidence Comcast is rolling out a "Flex", a new video store/service of its own today. https://t.co/5UblTFMS3k https://t.co/KjGw9lSjc3

Related: Apple will spend most of Monday talking about originals. But as @pkafka and I have written, it's mostly going to rely on other people's shows. https://t.co/mJ26Efnre7 https://t.co/feiFv389bu

whoa, this @pkafka scoop is interesting, not what i expected at all re Apple's tv plans (though i had no idea what to expect) https://t.co/IRKuQblwgk

Interesting pre-launch article about Apple may actually launch on Monday (incl new news service)

"Apple’s plans for its new TV service: Sell other people’s TV services" https://t.co/uXA8kNeoMm
The most exciting part of this take is that Apple might finally start selling service bundles https://t.co/vvdMSX9q93

Surprise announcement I'm hoping for Monday: that Apple has already struck a deal to get Disney+ on-board later this year. The absence of both Netflix and Disney+ would be extremely detrimental to what Apple's trying to do here. https://t.co/i9UxNIDPH4

Apple doesn’t really want to be Netflix — it still wants to be Comcast https://t.co/nocdg58oSR

Really interesting. The most I think about it, the more I think Apple might be really smart to go this route rather than clone Netflix. https://t.co/Ti63iudgnx

This is *really* similar to what Apple will push next week (and Amazon already offers, and Facebook would like to offer). Subscription gets you a lot of stuff you can already get for free on the web (Tastemade, Cheddar, etc), so hard to figure how appealing it will be. https://t.co/5Hp4jEFupQ

Fascinating tidbit:
— M.G. Siegler (@mgsiegler) March 21, 2019
“With the new video storefront/service, Apple will host and serve the streams, which means it will have primary access to the viewing data its users generate.”
They’re not linking to the apps, they’re hosting and streaming the content. Quite the shift. https://t.co/Xu7QG1Xhwv
What gets overlooked is the potential for Apple to do what they are good at with with services. Which is create marketplaces.

If Apple pulls this off (offering streaming cable channels like HBO all as part of one package), its service will stand apart from competitors (and basically be a recreation of cable with a modified version of affiliate fees). $aaplhttps://t.co/zl7EPhYpNM
