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

Posted by samzenpus on Wednesday September 18, 2013 @11:59AM 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."

Exactly. I love having a digital library where I can browse a list, click play and it plays instantly.
Completely impossible in today's climate unless you possibly count waiting months to buy the DVDs then rip them all.
Plus you aren't supporting the artists/creators at all by buying CDs/DVDs.
You are just lining Hollywood's pockets.
