Popular online video streaming aggregator site, Hulu has picked up another major content provider – this time Disney/ABC. Disney and Hulu announced that they are joining forces to provide content from Disney properties (this includes ABC Network) and in turn, Disney will become a joint Hulu partner along with NBC and Fox.
So we can expect to see additional prime-time content like Lost, Gray’s Anatomy, Desparate Housewives from ABC and then some content from ABC Family and Disney Channel along with some older shows. ESPN which is also owned by Disney wasn’t mentioned probably because they recently made a deal for ESPN content on YouTube.
The Hulu.com press release directly mentions the following shows will be on Hulu:
So that leaves us with CBS which is the only major U.S. broadcast network not with Hulu. CBS streams to TV.com though so all major networks seem to be slowly moving towards some online content one way or another.
