Hulu to start charging in 2010
News Briefs —
At an industry summit in NYC on Oct. 21, News Corp Deputy Chairman Chase Carey revealed that online video hub Hulu will begin charging users for content as soon as 2010, according to Broadcasting and Cable . Carey told reporters that a subscription system is likely, although some content will probably continue to be offered free of charge. “I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content. I think what we need to do is deliver that content to consumers in a way where they will appreciate the value,” he said.

Carey insists that there isn't a timeline in place to make these changes, but apparently indicated that it would happen sometime next year. Great, just great! Now we have to start devoting more and more of our precious free time toward mastering the ins and outs of BitTorrent. Kinda makes you wish that it was 2012 already, doesn't it?

Bad news if you're one of the many who peek at your favorite shows online: Hulu may start charging for content as early as next year.
I can't say I'm surprised by this - not much comes free, so it was bound to happen eventually - but that doesn't mean I'm not bummed. Even though many of the network sites stream their own shows, Hulu has always been a reliable source for older TV shows, movies, and fun ...

... • Before you get too wound up over the "OMG HULU WILL NOT BE FREE STARTING IN 2010!!!" stories currently flying around the Internet, make sure you read the original item that set the whole thing off, which doesn't actually say that. It says that one Hulu board member who represents one of the entities that owns Hulu says that part of Hulu's business will include a subscription model, and some content will not be free, and that -- in my interpretation -- it will be at least 2010 before that happens. (Part of the reason it's so hard to ...

Anatomy of a misreported media-news story: On Wednesday, the Broadcasting & Cable website posted a blog entry reporting on comments made by News Corp. deputy chairman Chase Carey at B&C;'s "Onscreen Summit."

Start Stock-Piling Streaming Video Now: Hulu To Begin Charging in 2010

... We all knew it had to happen sometime, but ADverse got official word straight from the horse's mouth on Wednesday that Hulu will begin to charge users for its streaming TV shows, movies and live broadcasts "at least in 2010." That's the word from Chase Carey, Deputy Chairman at News Corp., which, being that it owns most of the world, also owns Hulu.

Are the Free Days of Hulu Ending Soon?
Switched —
All good things must come to an end. Now, it look like that axiom will soon apply to Hulu, too. According to Broadcasting & Cable, the site could charge for some of its content as soon as 2010. At least, that's what News Corp. Deputy Chairman Chase Carey said at a recent business summit. "I think a free model is a very difficult way to capture the value of our content," he said. "...[Hulu] needs to evolve to have a meaningful subscription model as part of its business." It's not clear exactly what that model would encompass, and the timetable for change is still vague. But it is clear that advertising revenue just isn't enough to keep the free television service afloat. Don't panic yet, ...

Deputy Chairman Chase Carey opened the B&C OnScreen summit to discuss where he sees the business going. “It’s time to start getting paid for broadcast content online,” he said.

Blogs: Stupid Media Idea No. 23: Hulu Wants to Charge for Viewing
New York Press —
- As someone who views the majority of television programming through online channels (or free DVD screeners), the idea of charging for Hulu makes me want to slap some sense into a rich, balding media exec. News Corp. Deputy Chairman Chase Carey recently stated that he thought that Hulu would start charging for content as early as 2010. Do we see where this is going? OK, we're already watching ads for Cymbalta and suffering through strange viewing jumpiness on our high-speed Internet connection, but you actually think young folks are going to fork over money for this content? Maybe if it is for extra-special viewing ops, like sneak peeks for favorite programs or for the ease of downloading to a portable device. ...
