PandoDaily is reportingthat DirecTV is finishing up a sight to buy Hulu , which germ expect to be done by the end of the calendar month . concord to PandoDaily ’s origin , the monetary value will be just north of a billion ( back in 2011 , we heard multiple 1000000000000 were in fun for Hulu ) . But anyway , who really give care about the minutiae of commas and zeros and dollar signs .
The substantial enquiry is why should we care that DirecTV is ( believably ) buying Hulu ?
It ’s betimes , so there ’s no telling what DirecTV ’s plans will be , but it ’s not on the dot rosiness that a cable television company ( albeit a really salutary satellite cable company ) will take over control the “ future of idiot box ” , is it ? To be fair , DirecTV is n’t your classic cable society like Time Warner or Comcast though ( which means they ’re not an inapt devil ) , they have long had a great iPad app and team up with the PS3 for NFL Sunday Ticket . They saved Friday Night Lights ! They seem to care about where television is headed . Hopefully they care about it enough to make Hulu well for everybody and not just DirecTV .
We ’ll see if the deal happen . You just never do it with Hulu . [ PandoDaily ]
