Hulu gets Disney-fied; Disney buys chunk of Hulu

by Iyaz Akhtar on Apr 30, 2009 at 11:00 AM

Hulu gets Disney-fiedDisney has bought a 30% piece of Hulu.  Hulu began as a joint venture of News Corp. (owners of Fox) and NBC.  Disney owns ABC, ESPN, and plenty of other networks.  It looks like it is just a matter of time before Disney programming hits Hulu. 

This makes Hulu a bigger threat to both Sling and Joost with this addition.  For an all-in-one solution, Hulu is looking stronger.  The only major network not directly on Hulu is CBS. 

What kind of influence will Disney have on Hulu?  If it is anything like ABC.com, we’re looking at HD video.  ABC’s video sites require you to click a link to continue to watch whatever program you chose.  Hopefully, that will not be the case for Hulu. 

Looks like the Hulu experiment is working out pretty well.
