Fresh off its deal to exclusively launch subscription service HBO Now, Apple is reportedly planning a larger push toward streaming TV.

A Chinese man talks on his phone while walking into an Apple store in Beijing.

According to the Wall Street Journal, Apple is in talks with broadcasters to offer a TV bundle this fall with 25 channels, including ABC, CBS and Fox. The service would be available through Apple TV.

The small bundle would include channels like FX, ESPN and other bigger channels. The report also says media executives believe the service would cost between $30 and $40 a month.

The report says not included in the bundle as of right now is NBCUniversal, citing a falling-out between Apple and parent company Comcast.

News of Apple's streaming plans follows the company's announcement that its Apple TV set-top box would be the exclusive launch home for HBO Now, the long-awaited standalone subscription of HBO.
