Was interviewed on NewstalkZB about Apple TV Channels and TV Plus.

Short version: Nice to have more choice, but, based on today’s announcement this won’t change things much for New Zealand consumers.

@billbennettnz I just assumed we Kiwis wouldn't get, if anything, out of it. After all, if I recall correctly, the NZ iTunes Store still doesn't have TV shows.

@billbennettnz @miraz There’s still a bunch of unanswered questions, too. Like price. And given it’s at least 6 months away from launching…

And @Miraz, correct. Still no TV shows on NZ iTunes.

@yorrike @miraz Yes. I meant the other announcements mean a little more choice and there will be some extra content we can get from Apple TV, but all-in-all this is something that passes New Zealand by.

@yorrike I remember being excited, all those years ago, when we got the iTunes Store. I was naive enough then to assume we'd get TV with it. Like many though, I don't use the NZ store.
