Wishing you could watch your favorite TV shows like 30 Rock or Friends for free and at anytime of the day. Well, your wish is granted thanks to the online video sites that are becoming common these days. One of the popular online video sites is Hulu. Hulu offers commercial supported streaming videos of TV shows and movies from NBC, Fox and many other networks.
Hulu is a joint venture of NBC Universal (GE) and Fox Entertainment Group (News Corp), with funding by Providence Equity Partners which holds 10% stake in it. The only major network not on Hulu is CBS.
On April 30th 2009, Disney bought 30% piece of Hulu. With 30% of Hulu with Disney , this would cause a even bigger threat to its competitors Joost and Sling. I also read some reviews on Hulu and many people agree that the commercial breaks on Hulu are bearable unlike many other network sites.
The only drawback is that currently Hulu is only available in the United States.But they intend on becoming global. But that would take some time.Till then lets wait and watch what impact Disney would have on Hulu. Hoping the impact would be HD videos.
