Apple is planning to launch an Apple TV Channels bundle that features CBS All Access and Showtime at a discounted price, reports Bloomberg.

The bundle, which aims to spur usage of Apple TV+ and the Apple TV Channels feature, will be priced at $9.99 per month. It is set to roll out as early as Monday, and will be available to those who have an Apple TV+ subscription.
Apple already offers access to both CBS All Access and Showtime through Apple TV channels. On a standalone basis, CBS All Access is priced at $9.99 per month and Showtime is priced at $10.99 per month, so this will be a significant savings for those who choose to subscribe through the Apple TV app.
Introduced last year, Channels is an Apple TV app feature that lets Apple device users sign up for and watch various subscription television services right within the Apple TV app.
Users still need to pay for the streaming services, but without the hassle of downloading an app and signing up separately. Some of the Channels available in addition to CBS All Access and Showtime include Starz, Nickelodeon, Mubi, The History Channel Vault, Epix, Comedy Central Now, and more.
Channels is offered alongside Apple TV+, Apple's $4.99 per month streaming service that houses Apple original content.

I was wondering the same thing. I have CBS All Access, now. It's commercial free.We have the CBS commercial free already through Apple. Is this the same CBS you are mentioning?
If not is the commercial free available, at what cost?
What does that section exactly mean that I bolded and underlined?
Well, you do have to pay $4.99 for TV+ to get the offer, so it's not strictly speaking free.I was wondering the same thing. I have CBS All Access, now. It's commercial free.
Will this also be commercial free? Because it sounds too good to be true. I mean...if you already subscribe to either of these...why wouldn't you get this?! It's like getting something for free. That never happens.![]()
they really do need an all in one subscription. i'm cancelling my TV+ when free trial is over, already cancelled arcade and news. music and icloud storage are the only ones i'm keeping so far.
$34.99 package to include 2TB of iCloud, Music, TV+, Arcade, News for the family would be fine.
CBS All Access gives you a lot of originals that don't show up on the airwaves. Also, OTA/antenna doesn't provide on demand CBS, or shows from the last 30 years. OTA is only getting you live TV.I still don't understand CBS all access being a paid only. I'm not going to pay for something I could get for free with a digital antenna. At least offer a free, ad-supported option.
If you think CBSAA is something you can get with your antenna, then you're welcome to live with that delusion. The network TV channel is an afterthought for CBSAA.I still don't understand CBS all access being a paid only. I'm not going to pay for something I could get for free with a digital antenna. At least offer a free, ad-supported option.
What sports?! Ths upcoming season is looking like it's already in the toilet. I am so done with replay sports and watching European football matches sans crowds.Next up, I hope, a Sports Bundle that offers On-Demand access to ALL of last season's playoff, tournament & bowl games for Pro & College Football, Pro & College Basketball, & Pro & College Baseball !
Something to get us Sports Fans thru the next 12 months !
Really surprised NO major company has stepped up to the plate has made that happen so far !
Would gladly pay $9.99/month till Live Sports comes-back in Normal Fashion.

Considering you're posting this in an article about Apple TV Channels, I'm not sure you're prepared to find out how much an all-in-one subscription would cost.
I didn't include CBS or Showtime in my suggested bundle.
Simply add up all the Apple subscriptions and provide a discount. It's not that hard.
Did you miss the article about Apple One today? They're literally doing that.
" Gurman explains that there will be different Apple One subscription tiers. A basic package will include just Apple Music and Apple TV+, while a more expensive variation will add Apple Arcade. The next tier up will add Apple News+, followed by a more expensive bundle featuring iCloud storage."

Apple to Launch Bundled Subscription Services Called 'Apple One'
Apple will launch a new range of subscription service bundles called "Apple One" as soon as October, according to a new report by...www.macrumors.com
Solve the issue where some apps don’t sync up in it.
This is up to the apps to implement. I hate Netflix for not doing it. I wish Apple would enforce it.
If this is all tied to the Apple TV app, then I’ll have nothing to do with it. Finally signed up for my free ATV+, and I like the shows, but the app really, really sucks. It doesn’t tag shows as watched after I finish watching them, I can’t put them into a list except Watch Next, which worthlessly contains movies I already finished watch. And then adds baseball on front of that.
The software is just atrocious. Amazon Prime Video is better, and that sucks.
I’d be all over this but CBS AllAccess is essentially useless in Canada because its crown jewel, the Star Trek franchises, are licensed to Crave and are excluded from the CBS AllAccess library.
(OFF TOPIC). BTW, the ending to Homeland is absolutely awesome and very well done. Don't miss it!Big win. I plan on taking this offer. I have a backlog of shows on both Showtime and CBS to watch. Gotta catch up on Picard, Below Decks, Twilight Zone, Survivor, and Homeland.
