Hulu And Youtube Planning TV Streaming Services


Hulu has announced that it will soon begin offering subscribers the ability to stream live broadcast and cable brands in 2017. That'll include live sports, news, and more. Hulu's subscribers won't be required to have a traditional cable TV subscription in order to watch. Fox, ABC, ESPN, FX, and the Disney Channel were all involved in negotiations. According to Bloomberg, YouTube is working on a paid subscription service called Unplugged that would offer customers a bundle of cable TV channels streamed over the Internet, people familiar with the plan in 2017. YouTube executives have discussed these plans with most major media companies, including Comcast Corp.’s NBCUniversal, Viacom Inc., Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. and CBS Corp. No rights have yet been secured at this time. More and more cord cutting services are coming available now more then ever. Is the death of cord TV upon us ? What do you think ?
