Apple is reportedly looking into selling a “premium TV bundle” which would include HBO, Showtime and Starz, Recode reported Sunday.

Apple’s bundle would be similar to TV operators. However, traditional pay operators like Charter usually require users to pay for a basic channel package before offering a premium bundle. Apple would change that and allow consumers to directly pay for the bundle without having customers pay for other packages.

Apple currently sells three networks individually, with HBO priced at $14.99 a month, Showtime $10.99 a month and Starz $8.99 a month. The price for the premium bundle is not know as of yet, but there may be a discount for the package of all three channels.
