Per the deal, Disney will be provide Hulu with full episodes from its television network affiliates, including ABC. Hulu will host shows such as "LOST," "Grey's Anatomy," "Jimmy Kimmel Live," "Private Practice," and "Greek," among others.
Also according to the article, Hulu has snatched up content from three out of the six big-time film studios. The other three, Sony Pictures, Warner Bros. and Paramount, leave YouTube with little to vie for. While Sony has agreed to share a small amount of content with both Hulu and YouTube, Warner Bros. keeps most of its content off the web, and Paramount's parent company is currently suing YouTube for copyright infringement.
Disney chief executive Robert A. Iger commented on the Disney-Hulu partnership in a NYTimes.com story: “Disney and Hulu share a focus on delivering the highest-quality entertainment experience, and we look forward to working with Hulu to build value for our consumers, our brands and our shareholders.”
The Twitterverse seems pleased with, and even excited about, the partnership.
