"It is among the many companies that are playing in multiple categories. Its Apple TV+ service, announced last week, aims to create original programming, such as “The Morning Show,” a drama about a talk show featuring Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon, and the space drama “For All Mankind.”
It also has a separate Apple TV Channels service, which is more of a streaming hub, letting users sign up for HBO, Showtime and Starz, among other on-demand video options. All of this is quite different—and less ambitious—than Apple’s initial hopes of building a replacement to cable TV that would allow ad-free viewing.
