On 19 June 2013, Apple kicked out an update to the Apple TV that adds not only HBO GO, but also WatchESPN. Like app offerings on Xbox, tablets, smartphones, and Roku, HBO GO for the Apple TV offers on-demand access to the premium network’s original programming and licensed movies. Adding HBO GO to the lineup is a small step towards competing in the set-top market where Apple TV has fallen behind boxes from Roku and the Xbox 360.
HBO has been vocal that it wants to be on Apple’s set-top box. At February’s Dive Into Media conference, HBO President and COO Eric Kessler told the audience, “We will get on Apple TV, as we’ve said all along.”
Apple also added Sky News, Crunchyroll, and Qello in select markets. Sky News is a 24/7 news channel for the U.K. and Ireland. Crunchyroll serves up Japanese anime and Asian programming an hour after it airs in Japan. Qello is a source for live concerts and music documentaries.
