Shake up...

Apple Inc.’s lofty plans to build an online television service are coming into sharper focus, wsj.com reported today.

The technology giant is in talks with programmers to offer a slimmed-down bundle of TV networks this fall, according to people familiar with the matter, wsj.com wrote.

 The service would have about 25 channels, anchored by broadcasters such as ABC, CBS and Fox and would be available on Apple devices such as the Apple TV, they said, according to wsj.com.
