Earlier this week, The Wall Street Journal reported that Apple is currently planning on launching an internet-based TV service sometime in the near future. The service is rumored to be lead by networks like ABC, CBS, and Fox.

On Wednesday, a new report from the WSJ claims that Discovery and Viacom are in talks with Apple regarding the future service. If the the deal were to go through, Apple's rumored service would sport the likes of Discovery Channel, Animal Planet, TLC, MTV, Nickelodeon and Comedy Central.

All of the aforementioned channels and networks would be available for streaming on the iPhone, iPad and Apple TV. Rumor has it that the service will have about 25 channel in total, run about $30 to $40 a month, and will be announced at WWDC in June.
