Fox Shows Get Online Lag for Non-Subscribers

Only Dish, Hulu Plus customers will have access

Bad news for “Gleeks” and other Fox fans: Beginning in mid-August, new episodes of Fox shows will no longer be available to view on Hulu or Fox.com until eight days after their original air date, reports The Wall Street Journal.

Viewers who want to see their favorite shows immediately following their debut will now have to either prove that they’re paying subscribers to a participating cable or satellite service, or watch the shows through Hulu’s paid service, Hulu Plus.
