Disney Acquires 27% Stake in Hulu

May 1, 2009 – By Raymond T. Hightower | Comments Off

Disney has acquired 27% of Hulu according to Bloomberg. What a remarkable blend of content and distribution. What’s next for non-internet players like CBS and internet-only players like YouTube?

Next Step
Hulu’s next step: An application that allows viewers to download & view content on Apple’s iPhone and iPod touch. Media continues to change.
