Apple TV updated with ABC News, PBS Kids, AOL On, Willow TV and revamped Flickr app

While the world longs for an entirely new Apple TV, the streaming set-top box continues to stay relevant with the occasional app refresh. Today sees the arrival of ABC News, as well as new apps for PBS Kids, Willow TV and AOL On, 9to5Mac reports.

ABC News is arguably the most notable, with access to live and on-demand video around the clock. This is bolstered by fresh video updates on the hour and five live updates from ABC News correspondents. According to Recode, the app is also free – unlike the existing Watch ABC app. Rounding out the new additions is a redesigned Flickr client, which should appeal to budding photographers.

Earlier this month, the price of the Apple TV was slashed to €99 in Europe and £79 in the UK, putting further pressure on rivals Roku, Google and Amazon.
