Hulu looking for September launch

The free online video on demand service that is back by News Corp, NBC Universal and Disney, Hulu will be getting a UK launch date of September 2009 providing over three thousand hours of US, ITV and Channel Four content.

The Hulu launch comes as the projects Kangaroo and Canvas that have been set up by the UK broadcasters have either failed or been delayed due to problems that relate to competition and fairness.

It is believed that content available on Hulu will be made available the day after it is first broadcast and then making it available for thirty days after.

There could be a long term issue over content from ITV and Channel Four, Hulu wish to keep control over the contents advertising sales on the Hulu platform.
