Apple Brings Live News Channels to Apple TV, iOS App

Apple’s TV app now supports live news- a feature announced in September when company CEO Tim Cook introduced the new Apple TV 4K. According to technology website 9to5Mac, viewers can now see live news sources appear in the TV app for iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. The news listing is, however, not as extensive as the “Sports” interface, in its early stages.
