The LA Times reports that in March 2009, a year after its release, Hulu recorded 42 million viewers, a figure that puts the site ahead of both Yahoo! and MSN and situates it as a legitimate threat to YouTube’s throne. A fact that should be reason to celebrate, except that they’re giving their programming awayRead more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/04/the-perilous-future-of-television.html Mon, 13 Apr 2009 15:06:02 +0000 Over the past decade traditional television content has quickly migrated to our computers and as consumers demand easier access to media, major content providers are clamoring to be ahead of the curve.  Entertainment industry executives met at conference earlier this year hoping not to get caught off guard like the music and newspaper industries, but a dominant solution has yet to surface.  The Future of Television conference, hosted by Digital Media Wire, brought together an impressive collection of speakers who struggled to come to a coherent conclusion.

Before the episode starts, there’s an option to choose between watching a movie trailer in exchange for a commercial free experience, or continue with your normal set of commercial breaks. We opted for the two minute movie trailer of Taken – which, in our opinion, is undoubtedly more enjoyable than watching four, irrelevant, thirty-second ads. Either way, by giving the viewer choice in the inevitable ad segment improves his experience while also potentially removing commercial interruptions during the program. If you add the Netflix Prize into the equation,Read more...]]> http://www.psfk.com/2009/01/hulu-ceo-to-users-we-screwed-up-royally.html Mon, 19 Jan 2009 17:54:33 +0000 On January 9th, video content provider Hulu removed several seasons of the popular F/X series, “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia“ from their website with no advance warning. Despite Hulu’s general stance on taking down content (they would prefer not to do it), such moves are sometimes necessary to comply with the networks who own the original rights.
