The Protocol For 10/22/09: What A Surprise! Hulu To Start Charging

And you thought NewsCorp was going to be okay with providing a free outlet. Hell no!
News Corp. says that Hulu, its jointly owned free online video site, will start charging fees for access at some point in the future.

Chase Carey, News Corp.'s president and chief operating officer, says subscription fees could come as early as 2010. Carey made the remarks during a conference in New York on Wednesday.

News Corp. says it hasn't decided what form the subscription model would take and right now is concentrating on delivering a good experience for users.

Hulu has struggled to make money despite its popularity as an ad-supported online site for TV shows and movies.
