what channels are available on hulu?
Hulu has officially launched its long-awaited live TV service, increasing the choices for watchers who want to cut the cable cord. Customers who want to add live content from ABC, CBS, Fox, NBC and a total of more than 50 other channels to Hulu's on-demand video library can upgrade to a $39.99 monthly package. That includes Hulu's current $7.99 monthly on-demand service with limited commercials.
Subscribers can pay more for no commercials, more cloud DVR capacity and more than two simultaneous streams. 1  Earlier this week, the streaming service signed a deal bringing NBC and NBCUniversal's channels to the live TV lineup. Those channels include Bravo, CNBC, E!, MSNBC, NBCSN, Syfy and Telemundo. In addition to those channels, Hulu's live service also has CNN, Fox News, Fox Business, A&E, USA, TBS, Cartoon Network/Adult Swim, Disney Channel, Food Network, History, HGTV and Travel Channel. The arrival of Hulu's live TV service, along with that of YouTube TV, could encourage more traditional pay-TV subscribers to cut the cord, says 7Park Data analyst Christopher Coby.
