Disney now owns Hulu outright — however that wasn’t the unique plan. Hulu was launched in 2008 as a general-entertainment competitor to Netflix, which started streaming a 12 months earlier. Hulu was a three way partnership between NBC, Fox, and ABC; CBS determined to take a seat this one out. Disney purchased out Fox’s share of Hulu (and most of Fox’s all the pieces) in 2019, gaining majority possession. That killed the Hulu-value proposition for NBCUniversal, which exercised a clause final 12 months forcing Disney to purchase out its Hulu stake. NBCU didn’t precisely give Disney a Black Friday deal on its one-third share: The ultimate piece of the Hulu pie has to date price Disney $8 billion… and counting.
