This is one of those moves that can only boggle your mind. Hulu is owned by companies that when retransmission-agreements are set to renew, are always ready to remind viewers that they can *always* get the broadcast networks for free over-the-air, though of course they *really* don't want that to happen, as they get good coin from us cable people who pay for something we can watch for free. I guess they can't let people give up that cable ball-and-chain (though I wonder if regulators will get any say as Hulu is expected to be 1/3 NBCUni owned [controlled by Comcast] after they buy out the private equity firm).
