Hulu launches in beta with NBC, Fox content
For NBC and Fox, no more YouTube. No more iTunes. Now, their focus is their own joint-venture video sharing service, called Hulu. In it, you’ll see shows and movies for free, but ad-supported, from NBC, Fox, Sony, and MGM. A big downer is that any movie content that’s available will be edited-for-television. Ugh. The good news is, the content will be made available through various other portals, including AOL, MSN, Yahoo, and MySpace (which is owned by Fox-owner News Corp). The website launch is still in beta, and you can sign up to be a part of it by jumping over to hulu.com. It will also give you an idea of what their initial offering of shows will include.
Wow that’s a lot of content even with the limits that are going to be placed on the movies. Maybe in that case they will at some point add the regular content for a fee.
i want to see quality of the video. And if all they offer is edited content then no thanks.
So that’s why Fox and NBC haven’t updated on iTunes lately…wow they are gonna lose shits of money…
well fox and nbc won’t lose money. the advertisments make them more than Apple paid them. I thought Fox was still on board though…
