Back in Nov. 2014, CBS CEO Les Moonves said that his company’s Showtime network would “fairly definitively” launch some sort of standalone streaming service in 2015. Since then, there hasn’t really been much news about it. But since HBO has launched HBO Now without the world coming to an end, it looks like it might be time for CBS to unveil that service. The Street reports that CBS may announce a standalone Showtime product when the media giant announces its next earnings report in early May. The network is reportedly talking to possible distribution partners to sell the service directly to consumers. It could go with Apple, who currently has a near-exclusive with HBO for HBO Now (the only other seller for the service is Cablevision, which is limited to customers with its Optimum broadband service). Showtime could also go with Dish or Sony, both of which recently launched their own live-TV streaming services. Dish’s Sling already sells something similar to HBO Now, but it’s different in two important ways.
