Will Hulu Charge For Content in 2010?

Subscription system seems likely

Recently, at the B&C OnScreen Summit, News Corp's Deputy Chairman, Chase Carey, revealed that Hulu will begin charging users to view their content in 2010. "It’s time to start getting paid for broadcast content online", Carey said.

Would you pay to view shows on Hulu? If so, how much would you be willing to pay? Tell us.

According to Broadcasting & Cable, Carey also 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... Hulu concurs with that, it needs to evolve to have a meaningful subscription model as part of its business.”

Carey also said that even though the subscription system is likely, some content would probably remain free of charge.

Would you consider paying for a Hulu subscription? Let us know.

Pay for hulu content?

I wouldn't pay for hulu content. They are taking the whole drug dealer approach: give people a little bit for free and then charge them once they are hooked. I think it is a very bad idea.

If Hulu included premium content such as Showtime and HBO, I'd pay a monthly fee for it - maybe $40 or so.
