“As the 2013 iTunes Festival approaches, Apple on Tuesday rolled out a new Apple TV channel and revamped iOS app dedicated to the month-long concert series, featuring new looks and in-depth information about the acts set to perform come September,” AppleInsider reports.

“Scheduled showtimes”? “Channel”? Sounds a lot like Apple has created its first internet TV channel for Apple TV. This could be the beginning of something great.
you bet, this is Chapter One in the future of television, last year’s Festival was really cool.
now contract College Football directly from the conferences, …and then f EPSN in the da’ buttho.
I still think Apple should just buy Disney and get all of its libraries, plus its subsidiaries, ABC and ESPN. About $60B would do it. For that they could get a controlling interest and elect their own board members.
Last year’s Festival was excellent! I don’t understand. Why they kill the channel after a couple of months. I was disappointed when last year’s disappeared.
If only it wasn’t so difficult to get tickets… 😟
I feel like I live in a bubble when it comes to AppleTV content. I don’t bother explaining to friends and family the fact that I watched 20 different acts in an iTunes Festival, or watch Hulu, stream my laptop and iPhone because it’s still gets a nonplussed response.
And the follow up question; “YOU HAVE TO PAY FOR THAT, RIGHT?”
No. (Like I told you last time.) No.
