Hulu says “Screw You” to free programming.

hulu-wall

Hulu craps on it’s entire audience by ditching it’s free service sometime in 2010.

News Corp president and chief operating officer, Chase Carey, says that Hulu will ditch it’s free model for a subscription based model sometime in 2010.  Carey made the remarks during a conference in New York.

So, the entire business model, advertising campaign and APPEAL for Hulu is thrown in the crapper.  Apparently, despite their Ad model, Hulu is struggling to become profitable.  Looks like I’ll just have to dust off my unused DVR and watch TV on an actual TV.

    • Watching 1981's Excalibur. This one hasn't aged well, but is a lot of fun!
