If you remember last spring, CBS chief Les Moonves announced that a follow-up service to its CBS All-Access will be arriving for subsidiary network Showtime was in the works. Today, CBS revealed through a press release starting in early July, the stand-alone SHOWTIME service (self-titled) will be exclusively to Apple for the monthly price of $10.99.

HBO Now, coincidentally also launched exclusive on Apple devices last April at the price of $14.99 per month – which will give users more incentive to stay away from the expensive prices of cable and/or satellite.
