    Walmart announced new original content for its streaming service Vudu including shows overseen by Queen Latifah and Michael Keaton. This is aimed at attracting viewers in Middle America who Walmart feels have been undersold by other streaming services like Netflix and Amazon. Vudu's shows will include interactive advertising allowing viewers to buy products without leaving the streaming platform. However, the streaming market is becoming very crowded with new services from Apple, Disney, and others launching soon which could lead some services to fail due to subscription fatigue from consumers.

    Directions (1-5): Read the following passage and answer the questions as
    directed. There are some blanks given in the passage based on which some
    questions are framed, and some words are highlighted as well to help you answer
    some of the questions.

    ________(A)________ TV/movie streaming heavyweights with original material. (B)At


    a press conference (1) in New York, Walmart announced (2) a slate of new contender
    (3) for its streaming commissions (4), Vudu. Added to the 100,000-plus TV shows and
    movies already available on the service, viewers can expect the likes of Friends in
    Strange Places, a travel/comedy series overseen by Queen Latifah; interview
    documentary strand Turning Point with Randy Jackson; and a series-length reboot of
    1983 Michael Keaton comedy Mr Mom. The new offering is aimed primarily at Middle
    America, which Walmart feels has been undersold by streaming ________(C)______
    like Netflix and Amazon Prime Video. (D) Vudu’s shows will be a vehicle for new
    interactive advertising going live over the summer who will allow consumers to buy what
    they see without leaving their sofa. Thanks to its monster customer database, a senior
    Vudu manager recently described Walmart as the “sleeping giant of the digital
    entertainment space”.

    If so, it’s about to wake up to a very crowded marketplace. It’s only weeks since Apple
    announced streaming service Apple TV+, which is to combine licensed shows with
    original programming when it launches worldwide this autumn. Disney, meanwhile, is
    following suit with Disney+ in November – initially in the US, then (E)___________ out
    to other countries next year. Other existing streamers include Hulu and HBO Now, while
    Discovery and NBCUniversal are both launching rivals next year as well (click on the
    table below to make the full details bigger). (F) It doesn’t take a seer to predict that a
    good few will likely fail. Among these newer announcements, Apple and Disney look the
    stronger contenders. Apple has the ready-made platform of a billion devices to promote
    and deliver its service, while Disney has the (G)_____________– from video games to
    live sports to superheroes.

    (H) Vudu may have the (1)heft of Walmart behind it, but the content investment is likely
    to be a (2) spending of the other two: Apple has said it will spend US$2 billion (£1.5
    billion) a year at first, while Disney is (3) fraction only $500m on originals, including the
    likes of three Avengers spin-offs, but the group’s total annual (4)content spend is nearly
    50 times bigger. Walmart has not said what Vudu is spending. (I) On the other hand,
    Vudu’s offering will be mostly free while Disney+ and Apple TV will both charge monthly
    subscriptions. At any rate, all three are likely to

    struggle – and the same goes for the other new arrivals. We are heading for a serious
    case of “subscription fatigue”. When consumers watch free-to-air television,
    broadcasters take care of the (J) altruistic process of making deals with content
    owners, aggregating it and serving it up. As pay-TV operators like Sky or the cable
    networks started to emerge, consumers had to sometimes choose a package to get a
    particular channel or program.
