HULU TO ADD ABC, DISNEY CONTENT
If you’re like me, you love watching episodes of your favorite TV shows for free on Hulu. The quality is better than YouTube, and it’s great for those of us who don’t have can’t afford DVR. The only downside is that ABC shows are unavailable…until now.
Popular streaming video website Hulu has teamed up with Disney to provide full-lenth episodes from ABC, SoapNet, and ABC Family. Some of the shows to be added include Lost, Scrubs, Ugly Betty, and Grey’s Anatomy. Select Disney movies will also be available.
“(The Disney-Hulu deal) is not good news for YouTube,” said James McQuivey, an analyst at Forrester Research. “Any hope of creating a professional-content business has probably disappeared.” A YouTube spokesman issued this positive-spin statement: “More content coming online in more places is a win for consumers and provides further validation of the growth of the online video market.”
This is great news. If it wasn’t for Hulu, I probably would never see an episode of The Office – and I sure as hell ain’t paying $30 for the DVDs. Those days are over.
Have you guys tried to rent a DVD recently? It’s awful. Drive there, hope they have it. You have to return it. Long story short, I don’t rent the hard copy of anything. Apple TV is where it’s at.
