said by jseymour:I don't get it. Hulu's currently (mostly) owned by content providers, no? These guys are starving their own operation of content, making it relatively worthless. Which, in turn, makes it relatively unpopular. So if the content providers cannot or will not make a go of it, what makes anybody else believe they can?
What am I missing, here?

With over a billion streams per month and 3million plus Hulu Plus (paid) subscribers I don't think unpopular is the correct classification.
it's just a different way to package the cheap rerun content instead of Cable or an OTA provider.
It was never intended to disrupt or replace the OTA and CATV channels, but for some reason Karl seems amazed that it hasn't at every story. I don't see the current contract providers necessarily blocking Hulu from continuing to buy content, but the market price may be higher
Last time Hulu considered going public they were worth $2+ billion
It will be interesting to see how it actually gets priced at this go round.
