New Hulu Deal Could Delay the Site's Access to Shows

Media companies want to sell programs to other streaming services

Hulu is close to renewing its deal to offer TV shows from its media company owners—which include Disney, News Corp., and Comcast’s NBCU—but the new terms could result in the delayed availability of certain content on Hulu’s site, said inside sources.

The deal would uphold Hulu’s right to stream new episodes at the same time that the shows’ owners air them on their own sites. Hulu currently has access to most programming the night after it airs on TV.
