Apple TV Gets More New Channels From Disney And Others

9to5Mac:

Today, Apple has issued an over-the-air update to the Apple TV that brings several new content apps. Notably, in line with expectations, an app for the Vevo Music Video service has arrived. Also new are Disney Channel and Disney XD apps.

With Apple’s deep partnership with Disney, it is about time that Disney has been fully integrated into the Apple TV. Apple TV users will now also be able to access Weather information via a new app from The Weather Channel. An app for the Smithsonian is also now present.

The Apple TV hardware must be due for a refresh soon, as the most recent model (the 1080p generation) came out in March 2012. It is due.
