The Wall Street Journal noting that Apple executives met with MGM and Pac-12 leaders to hold preliminary talks for a content catalogue. A deal with Pac-12 is said to provide the first live sports content to Apple, allowing the company to compete better with other streaming video services. In the meantime, MGM has a broad library of content, although it is not clear if the contract would focus on new original content or include existing content.
