If you remember back in early January, Hulu announced a big deal with ViacomCBS that would bring 14 of its networks to the streaming service's live television plan. Now, months later, those channels are finally available to subscribers, offering the opportunity to watch Comedy Central, Nickelodeon, and other popular networks.
Football fans will have a new option for streaming their favorite NFL games this upcoming season. The National Football League has announced that its NFL RedZone and NFL Network are heading to Hulu's Live TV offering, though only one will be included as part of the base channel package. Both networks will arrive on the streaming service starting August 1 just ahead of the NFL 2021 season.
Samsung has teamed up with Hulu to launch a new reality competition series called Exposure. This is, put simply, a branded collaboration that will essentially market the Galaxy S21 Ultra 5G handset to viewers -- the entire series is based on using the phone to complete photography challenges.
If you have a Hulu subscription and also love sports, you can now enjoy both in the same app -- assuming you have an ESPN+ subscription, as well. The streaming company announced the new addition today, stating that Hulu subscribers who are eligible to access the content can now directly stream ESPN+ original shows, as well as sporting events and more.
Today we're taking a peek at the big Disney Plus bundle with ESPN Plus and ad-free Hulu. This bundle was just made widely available today after a smaller release and announcement in recent weeks. This version of the subscription service puts all three streaming services in one payment plan and makes their combined price slightly lower than the services would be on their own.
Back in the late 2000s, when streaming services like Netflix and Hulu were just getting going, I was convinced that those services would change the way we watch TV. Even back then, it wasn't difficult to envision a future where cable wasn't the only way we watched shows. Fast forward to today and things have largely panned out as expected. The streaming market is fragmented as everyone attempts to build out their own streaming services, yes, but these days you can get along just fine with a few streaming subscriptions, which still comes in at less than the cost of a cable package.
Nomadland, a drama that will hit some IMAX theaters later this month, will be available to stream on Hulu on the same day it gets its widespread premiere in theaters throughout the US. Though it hasn't taken as big of steps as Warner Bros when it comes to embracing streaming during the pandemic, this won't be the first time Disney has launched a movie on digital.
Hulu announced a "students" plan this week with an apparent "65% discount valid as long as you're a college student." This price would be for the "ad-supported plan" for approximately $1.99 USD per month, where it'd otherwise be $5.99 USD per month. Just so long as student enrollment status remains verified, the price shall remain, as verified by SheerID.
Under a new deal with ViacomCBS, Hulu's live TV plan is getting another 14 networks, including major ones like MTV, Nickelodeon, CMT, TV Land, BET, Comedy Central, and more. The new additions will join the ViacomCBS channels already available on the OTT service, a change made under a multi-year deal that ensures the continued availability of CBS content on the platform, as well.
Disney's Investors Day definitely dumped a lot of information over the Internet you'd be forgiven if you feel a bit overloaded. Especially if you follow and subscribe to the company's numerous properties and content distribution services like Disney+, Hulu, and even ESPN+. Not everyone, however, might enjoy hearing all about these new films and shows since these services aren't widely available outside the US. Disney, however, will be fixing that with some good news for overseas fans while also bringing a small bad one for Disney+ subscribers.
Disney has announced plans to release another bundle featuring its top streaming services, one that will be similar to the Hulu, Disney+, and ESPN+ bundle it already offers. As many have hoped for, the new bundle will feature the ad-free version of Hulu rather than the cheaper ad-supported version, giving users the opportunity to avoid commercials.
As the socially-distanced holidays approach, Hulu has rolled out its Hulu Watch Party system to all on-demand subscribers. Previewed earlier in the year, Watch Party replicates the shared viewing experience - but without demanding you share your popcorn or your infections - with up to 8 people in different places.
