ABC News Live And CBSN Are Now Added To The Hulu Live TV Lineup

Not more than two weeks left for 2018 U.S Midterm elections, Hulu has announced the addition of 2 channels: CBS News and ABC News in the live channel lineup. Both these channels are news channels that will cover each and every moment of upcoming elections.

From coming week, users will be able to watch 3 channels ABC, CBSN and cheddar on their subscribed Live TV service. In the $40 package, you will get traditional channels like CNN International, CNN and Fox news.

ABC News live and CBSN are the two news channels which are available for free on other platforms other than Hulu. Let’s start watching the brand news for no extra cost. The news organizations are trying their best efforts to reach the untargeted market by placing their service on Hulu front screen.

Hulu is a major player in OTT service as told by Colby Smith, Senior VP at ABC news. According to him, our company wants ABC to be omnipresent where cord-cutters are.

The primary focus for ABC News live is on live coverage rather than on headlines delivered by newsreaders sitting behind a desk. There are more than 1300 staffers who have contributed for ABC news around the globe.

According to the Smith, there is a large chunk of young audience who are not at all satisfied with the cable news format. We are trying to provide the more refined and best live news to them.

On an average, per user spends 3 hours per week watching ABC live news. The younger generation with the average age group of 40 is the main audience of their TV. ABC Live will soon touch a limit of 1 million hours per week.

As of now, no advertisements are being telecasted on ABC News Live. Currently, ads are replaced by network promos. ABC is planning to launch dynamic ad insertion on live-streaming service by the end of 2018.

Disney, a parent company of Hulu owns ABC and is looking forward to getting major control after the deal for 20^th-century fox assets closes. According to Smith, Disney parentage had no bearing on Hulu for ABC live.

CBS was launched in 2014 and had partnered with Hulu live under an agreement with CBS Corp that is delivering CBS, CBS sports and POP to OTT service.

CBSN is bringing the live news coverage and reporting from CBS news journalist worldwide and has aired 25 original long-form documentaries till date. The channel has recently introduced CBSN AM, live daily programming in 7-8 A.M ET hour.

Apart from Hulu, you will find the CBSN on CBSnews.com as well and this same app is available for Android and connected TV devices.

This is the significant step taken by the company towards increasing the user base and distribution network of CBSN. This channel is available now on multiple platforms. Christy Tanner, EVP, and GM have said in his press conference with the news agencies.

Hulu, released in May 2017 is now contributing through Live and on-demand programming from more than 50 sports, entertainment and kids channels. You can access more than 75000 episodes from Hulu VOD library. The list includes NBC, Fox locals, CBS, and national cable networks include ESPN, Fox Sports, CNN, Fox News, A&E and Telemundo.

Now Enjoy Hulu New Live TV On Cable

You may be late but you can still enjoy the Live TV program launched by major giant Hulu on cable TV. Hulu recently has rolled out a new beta version of Live TV program for Cable TV which is available for $40 a month. You will get live broadcasts from more than 50 channels along with own original channels. This release has been proven a major change in the streaming industry and among its rivals.

The major competitors of Hulu service are Netflix and big cable. If we talk about live or on-demand competitors, then it includes DirecTV now, YouTube and PlayStation Vue. All these services are providing a special package to the customers in order to minimize the use of cable connection. Among these, the PlayStation is the one, which is offering the highest number of channels to the users. If you go for Hulu, then a complete catalog of on-demand shows is accessible by the users. It includes Handmaid’s Tale and 40+ channels from the location.

According to the spokesperson from Hulu, services offered through Live TV are far easier than on-demand service which is the major reason for this launch. All the TV shows including old and new catalog are available in it.

According to some clients, the company has upgraded the plan and package just as to allure the customers so that they remain to stick to the company. A customer can enjoy the live program as well as normal broadcasted shows with Hulu Live program version. The user-interfacing of new Hulu is totally changed. You will be happy to see the colors and different menus of different colors framed on the screen. If you are using the Beta version of the app, then you may have to face some bugs or issues with it.

The company officials are continuously asking for feedback from the customers so that they can change or modify accordingly. If they find the changes justified, then they will certainly go with that. If we talk in general, then you can say that it is difficult to use a new interface but at the same time, the design of this new version is very attractive and dashing. When asked for buffering and playback issues, Hulu said, they are working on this issue and soon going to come out with the best solution.

The interfacing itself not only makes the Hulu live TV imperfect but the channels arrangement or irregularity according to the local market also makes it worthless for the user. The company in its comment section has replied that they are continuously doing some research and putting their efforts to find out a best possible solution for it. The channels like AMC networks, Discovery communications, Starz, Viacom, and CBS are absent on Hulu network. Rumors related to HBO takeover by Hulu are also prevailing on the internet but no confirmation has been done so far by any of the company.

At last, we can say that despite having too many drawbacks, Hulu still sounds good with Live TV for subscribers who want to cut the cord expenses by going with a Beta program. If you also want best on TV, then hide your card for a while and wait till the time comes. After this, you can enjoy live TV seamlessly.
