ABC Content Now on Hulu [NewTeeVee]
Disney announced not long ago that it had forged a deal with Hulu, the popular long-form video streaming portal, to allow Hulu to distribute Disney and ABC content on the site. NewTeeVee reports that Hulu has posted the first ABC content on its site - episodes of Grey's Anatomy. Right now, that's the only ABC or Disney content on Hulu, and only five episodes of the show are available for viewing. Hulu indicates that in the coming weeks, additional ABC shows will make their appearances on the site, including Desperate Housewives, Scrubs and Ugly Betty, among others.
Disney's deal with Hulu allowed it to join NBC and FOX in distribution on Hulu. CBS owns the TV.com portal, and posts its content for viewing on that site. All content on Hulu is free for end-users to view, and is ad supported.
Last month, Comcast and Time Warner (the content company) announced a test of their TV Everywhere product, which would allow similar streaming of Time Warner video content from a web portal, free for Comcast's cable television customers.
