It’s not quite the “Apple TV” news the world has been waiting for, but current Apple TV owners on Tuesday found themselves with a variety of fresh new content to stream to their televisions via Apple’s set-top box. As 9to5Mac reports, several new apps hit Apple TV as part of an over-the-air (OTA) update on Tuesday, including the Disney Channel and music video giant Vevo. Also included in Apple’s new update are a Weather Channel app, a Smithsonian app and a Disney XD app. As noted by AllThingsD’s Peter Kafka, The Weather Channel’s app provides on-demand content but it will also stream live Weather Channel reports during big storms.
