Pushing out Apple TV Software 5.3 (Build 10B809) just moments ago, Apple has today announced that both HBO GO and WatchESPN are now available as watchable channels on its Apple TV.
One aspect of Apple’s Worldwide Developer Conference that we perhaps haven’t covered in-detail yet, is the introduction of iTunes Radio.

Well, it now turns out those deals were in relation to iTunes Radio.

Timezones. They can be confusing, right? If (like me) you’re not a fan either, and you are still wondering what time Apple’s keynote on Monday will kick-off in your own country – help is at hand.
Staying on the topic of television, the guys at iMore (via FierceCable) pass along a quote from Time Warner Cable CEO, Glenn Britt, this afternoon, which almost certainly indicates the company is already in talks with Apple over the future of television.
