TheWB expands, but what about Hulu?
Just got an email from TheWB.com, Warner’s ad-supported streaming video website. Looks like the paltry selection of TV shows on the potential Hulu.com (News Corp and NBCUni‘s site) competitor is adding some fan favorites to the mix. The titles that will be added starting on Aug. 27 include:
-Everwood (!)
-Veronica Mars
-Roswell
-Angel
-In Living Color (clips)
-MadTV
-Firefly
-The Loop
At first, I was just excited to see Everwood on the list, but then I noticed something.
Angel, MadTV, Firefly and The Loop are already offered on Hulu. Does that mean Warner is pulling the plug on the Hulu distribution of its shows? TheWB.com already launched with Warner’s mega-hit Friends, which was televised on the NBC Network.
If that’s the case, bad news for Hulu. TheWB has its fingers in some big TV shows, including ER (not currently streaming) and Nip/Tuck (on Hulu). And what about ABC’s Pushing Daisies and CBS’s Cold Case, also Warner shows?
Granted there are deals all over the place that I’m in no position to be aware of. And TheWB.com may choose to maintain some sort of brand integrity, catering to a teen-to-twenty-something audience.
Time Warner also has AOL’s In2TV service, which caters to a Nick-at-Night audience and is about as user-friendly as a tight pickle jar lid would be for an arthritic. In2TV is another potential place for more TV distribution on the Net. Could we be in the early throws of a battle for content among the Networks and major production houses? We’ll see.
I guess it’s good thing ABC kept Lost and Desperate Housewives under the Touchstone label though.
