It is now a real possibility that Disney television content will be offered by Hulu. Talks about the Hulu and Disney deal are reportedly in progress. Currently, Disney's ABC programming is the likely contender, but other possibilities like ESPN and the Disney Channel could very well be part of the deal.
NBC Universal and News Corp each have a 45% stake in Hulu, with the other 10% owned by Providence Equity Partners. In exchange for its program offerings, The Walt Disney Company could receive a large equity stake in Hulu similar to those of NBC and News Corp.
Will Hulu's range of content be able to stand up against such free internet TV alternatives as ZillionTV and their ZBar? I guess we'll find out soon enough... Stay tuned!
