CBS CEO Les Moonves is confident that the broadcasting company’s discussions with Apple will lead to a deal, Bloomberg reports, although he’s making no predictions as to when this will ultimately happen.
Moonves acknowledged that CBS has had conversations with Apple, “as have the other networks,” and says that he “probably” thinks something will happen, but stated, “I do not know when.” Apple is also not the only player in the game, as CBS has been having similar discussions with companies such as Facebook and Netflix about rights for stream live broadcasts.
While Apple had originally hoped to launch a streaming television service as early as this fall, it has delayed into 2016 as a result of discussions with various content providers taking longer than expected.
