Live sports on Apple TV +?
It is not today that we talk about the possibility of Apple adding live events to your platform streaming, but – so far – nothing has materialized. Now the contract may be close to taking a step forward, according to the Wall Street Journal.
According to the report, Apple entered into negotiations to obtain the transmission rights of Pac-12 Conference, a sports conference with a series of events in sports such as football, baseball, basketball, hockey, lacrosse, volleyball, athletics, swimming, rowing and wrestling.
The conference already has the rights guaranteed by ESPN and for FOX by 2023, then any negotiations with Apple would be carried out for events from 2024 onwards. Still, it is not known whether the talks will move forward – for now, according to the story, the company sees the possibility as a way to differentiate Apple TV + from its competitors, but without hammering the investment.
It will be rolling?
