Hulu "Kicking Back Into Action" Says CEO, Adding New Content

Posted by samzenpus on from the back-to-life dept.

cagraham writes "While rival Netflix dominated the news this summer with original programming and content deals, the only news from Hulu was a July announcement that they might be sold off. Parent companies Disney, 21st Century Fox, and Comcast seem to have decided against that now, and acting CEO Andy Forssell says they're 'kicking back into action.' The main take is that they've signed an agreement with the BBC to add show like Sherlock, MI-5, and Doctor Who, although the deal isn't exclusive, and the shows are already on other streaming services."

    Hulu's options:
    1. I watch shows which have ads.
    2. I pay them money, and they still show me ads.

    I am really not seeing the attraction of option #2.

    They're better quality ads?

    Shouldn't you be thankful that your pristine country is protected from Yankee cultural rot and contamination?

    I'm sorry, but that sentiment is not supported in your region.
