Report: Hulu's Much-Hyped IPO on Hold?

According to WSJ.com, a Hulu IPO is no longer imminent, as the video site may seek alternative financing.

Up until recently, Hulu—a joint venture among NBC Universal, News Corp. and Disney—was said to be prepping for a potential $2 billion cash infusion from an IPO. Many in the industry had speculated that such a financing maneuver would be necessary given the increased cost of network programming for digital platforms.

Yet there has also been constant speculation that the partnerships behind Hulu could dissolve, particularly once Comcast takes control of NBCU.
