Hulu Live TV Bundle: Full Channel Lineup
Hulu has launched the beta version of its live TV service, stocked with more than 50 broadcast and cable channels — with a few big holes in the lineup.
The company has deals with several big programming groups for the $40-per-month Hulu With Live TV bundle, including parent companies 21st Century Fox, Disney, NBCUniversal — which was officially announced just this week — and Time Warner (for Turner’s networks). It has also pacted with CBS, A+E Networks and Scripps Networks Interactive to distribute their live channels.
Missing from the lineup are HBO, AMC Networks, Viacom, Starz, and Discovery Communications channels. In the case of Viacom, Hulu has said it has no plans to add Comedy Central, Nick, MTV or other nets anytime soon.
Meanwhile, Hulu won’t offer local TV from all four major broadcasters in every market (though it says it’s working on signing deals with more affiliates). Local ABC, CBS, Fox and NBC broadcast nets are available in L.A., New York, San Francisco, Philadelphia and Chicago; in other areas, customers may have access to only two or three local stations, according to Hulu.
