I like free TV just as much as the next guy, but TV stations have every right to try and claim expenses back by streaming their own videos on the internet. |
Aaron, have you ever seen the
wiki for Hulu.com? Ownership of hulu.com is a venture between a few major networks,

Hulu is a joint venture of NBC Universal (GE) and Fox Entertainment Group (News Corp), with funding by Providence Equity Partners, which made a US$100 million equity investment and holds a 19% stake.[2] ABC, Inc. (Disney) also owns a 27% stake in the venture.

I think this has more to do with Comcast and Time Warner getting a piece of the pie, and at the same time, negating the costs of providing broadband services for streaming video watchers.
