Q: What's up with CBS?

Why is CBS charging for a subscription, when I already pay Verizon for the access?  ABC & NBC allows you to access their programing via Apple TV.  So, whats the rational behind CBS?   Or I'm I all wet and there is an App?

Mac Pro, iOS 8.1.3

    That sounds like a very good question to ask CBS. However, there's no reason CBS can't charge separately for access on different kinds of devices if they chose.

    Meg:  Your right, however, you would think that CBS would offer an App via Apple TV just like ABC, and NBC; each of these networks allows Verizon customers to view without and extra fee...

    CBS will most likely do whatever they feel is in the best interest of their business.
