AT&T and Hulu today announced a deal to bring Hulu to AT&T’s U-verse and mobile video customers.
“We know that our customers want to be able to access video on multiple devices,” said Andrew Goodman, associate vice president, AT&T content acquisition. “So we’re excited to be able to expand our relationship with Hulu and make its innovative and vast video selections available to AT&T customers on multiple screens.”
AT&T customers will be able to view basic Hulu service programming for free on their mobile devices or an AT&T U-verse website for Internet viewing. Hulu visitors typically have to pay for Hulu Plus premium service to view content away from a home computer or device. The deal with AT&T removes this restriction and builds on a current contract AT&T has with Hulu — co-owned by NBCUniversal, Disney and Fox — for its free content.
AT&T and Hulu also are exploring the possibility of bringing a Hulu app to TV.
Last month, Cablevision became the first pay-TV provider to distribute Hulu’s service to its set-top customers.
The expanded Hulu offering will become available to AT&T customers later this year.
Will using Hulu through Uverse still affect our bandwidth caps?
