Transcript:Quick Tip: What Is Hulu Plus?

Hello, I’m Kyle Lilienthal, contributor for About.com and today in this screencast, I’m going to talk about Hulu Plus.

How is Hulu Plus Different?

If you’re not familiar with the website Hulu and its paid subscription program called Hulu Plus, it is a web-based on-demand video streaming service. Featuring TV shows both new and old, movies, and webisodes, Hulu Plus allows subscribers access to some of the latest and greatest entertainment on their computer, TV, or mobile device.

What Does Hulu Plus Offer?

Hulu is owned by NBC Universal, FOX Broadcasting, and Disney-ABC, which is why the majority of the content on Hulu Plus is distributed by these companies.

While there is limited free access to Hulu programming, for a small monthly fee of $7.99 a month, with the first week being free.

That has been a quick overview of Hulu Plus.
