Losing Comedy Central Shows Not Funny to Hulu
Hulu will lose two of its most popular shows at 11:59 p.m. March 9 when Viacom pulls Comedy Central‘s The Colbert Report and The Daily Show with Jon Stewart off the video site, although content from the series will still be available free-of-charge on their respective sites, as well as embeddable and shareable.
The main motivation for the move, as reported by TechCrunch: Viacom will have 100 percent control over ad inventory and not be required to share revenue with Hulu.
