According to Peter Kafka over at AllThingsD, he's had "multiple sources" tell him that Apple is shopping around a subscription service to TV networks that would give iTunes users a catch-all subscription for $30 a month. As far as he's heard, nobody's jumped on board just yet, and of course networks have to work out their typical fears of such a service cutting into ratings and biting into cable revenue. However, at least one unnamed executive briefed on the plan says "I think they might get it right this time," and with Disney's cozy relationship with Apple there's reason believe they'd be the first to sign up.

Could bring a new lease of life to the Apple TV and bring some exciting new features to the iPhone/iPod Touch. Would like to see who signs up, if anyone at all.

Well, we have Hulu, which is ad-supported but free. Of course there's always room for competition but I wouldn't pay more for a service unless there's wider offering (ie more parties jumping on board). We'll see.
