NBC is owned by Comcast.

This is why they are holding out.

Even if you don't like Apple, this is important.

Apple can break this open like no other company can.

I agree completely but everyone needs Apple to come out on top here whether they like Apple or not. If Apple can use their resources to break the providers we all win and we might all get what we want.

Don't they broadcast that online now for free? I seem to remember them advertising that while watching the games.

There is currently no AMC app on Apple TV so that is worrisome. I'm not worried about that. I have the bare bones Direct TV package and of course those turds have AMC in the second tier so I don't have it. Rainierland puts up high quality streams of the big AMC shows the night of broadcast so I just watch them there.

They may be forced to by the Justice dept. ...

DOJ could force Comcast to offer NBCUniversal content for Apple's Web television service

Wednesday, March 18, 2015, 10:34 am PT (01:34 pm ET)

Despite reportedly refusing to engage in discussions to join Apple's rumored web television initiative, cable provider Comcast may have no choice but to eventually capitulate thanks to regulatory concessions the company agreed to in 2011 as part of its takeover of NBCUniversal.
