\"It's time to start getting paid for broadcast content online,\" Carey said. \"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.\"

EW.com, the websibling of TV’s Entertainment Weekly, says an unnamed Hulu executive reiterated to them the Hulu--owned by News Corp., Disney and NBC Universal--is committed to delivering free content, although it would likely develop some type of subscription service for premium content.

This is sad. My roommate and I have been able to watch our favorite shows when ever we want legally. If these shows become labled as \"premium content\" it might not be worth using hulu any more. When a new epiosde of Heros or House is out we can wait till the weekend to watch it. I don't have time during the week to mess with a tv schedule or watch tv. Oh well... more time for reading books.

heh... I don't watch Hulu anyway... they turned me off ever since that alien commercial with Alec Baldwin. x_x

They did have weird commercials.

So does that mean, you can stop spamming these boards??

It's not just the new episodes; usually I can PVR those. My wife and I have caught up with older episodes of shows at times on Hulu.

I think they'll lose much of their viewer base if the best shows end up as 'premium content'.

Yeah. It was great rewatching Stargate Sg1.
