Hulu Moving Free Content to Yahoo Under New Partnership

Hulu's free ad-supported content will be leaving Hulu.com within a couple of weeks and moving to Yahoo View as the subscription online video distributor focuses on its original content acquisition and its forthcoming virtual multichannel video programming distribution service next year, Hulu told us. Under the Yahoo View partnership with Hulu announced in a news release Monday, the Yahoo View site, starting this fall, will feature the most recent five episodes of ABC, NBC and Fox sitcoms eight days after original broadcast, plus various movies, anime and Korean drama episodes. Yahoo said mobile Yahoo View apps will be forthcoming. Last week, Time Warner bought a stake in Hulu, which also is owned by Comcast, Disney and 21st Century Fox (see 1608030033).
