Hulu Plus is Putting The Brakes on Free TV

You may have heard from various sources this week that Hulu is going to start charging a monthly fee to access some of their premium content. We knew this was coming eventually, but now that it has been officially announced it has people talking. Hulu has been a staple for those who wanted to ditch their expensive cable or satellite bill, but it looks like the free ride could be coming to an end.

Hulu Plus costs $9.99/month and is supposed to open up a lot of older content for past seasons of popular TV shows. Hulu already offers the trailing five episodes of current shows, but now if you want to go back even further you can if you buy a Hulu Plus subscription.

From the Hulu blog:

As a Hulu Plus subscriber, you’ll now also have access to back seasons or full runs of some of TV’s greatest shows. All nine seasons of The X-Files. All three seasons of Arrested Development. Ten seasons of Law and Order: SVU. All five seasons of Ally McBeal. Seven seasons of Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and three seasons of Roswell. Every episode ever of Grey’s Anatomy and Desperate Housewives. Classic skits from the first five and most recent five seasons of Saturday Night Live. The list goes on. This is all on top of hundreds of shows already on Hulu.com today. It’s a treasure chest in the cloud for TV lovers.
