NEW YORK (AP) — Cablevision Systems Corp. struck a deal with Hulu to offer the Internet television service’s on-demand content to its Optimum customers.
Bethpage, New York-based Cablevision did not provide pricing or say when the service would become available. It has more than 3.1 million customers in the New York metropolitan area.
The deal comes a week after Cablevision announced that it is offering an Internet package that bundles in a digital antenna for TV service. That is aimed at so-called “cord-cutters” who detest pricey channel packages. The company will offer HBO’s stand-alone streaming service.
Hulu offers full libraries of series such as Empire, South Park, CSI, Nashville and current season programming from five of the six top broadcast networks. Hulu subscribers currently pay $7.99 per month. The company is owned by The Walt Disney Co., Twenty-First Century Fox Inc. and Comcast Corp.
