News Corp pulls Hulu from Cablevision customers, escalating carriage dispute

If you were thinking that you’d just watch your favorite Fox shows on Hulu until Cablevision and News Corp worked out their differences , then think again. Not only can you not watch Fox on Cablevision’s cable service at the moment, but if you get your internet from said company, you can’t watch Fox content on Hulu either. This isn’t too terribly surprising considering the networks see Hulu as a supplemental service to their traditional avenues, but that doesn’t make cord cutters who don’t even subscribe to cable feel any better. The good news is that these disputes don’t tend to last long — they usually never amount to an interruption in service — so you shouldn’t miss too many of your favorite shows before Cablevision gives in and pays Fox $1 per subscriber (vs $0) like the other providers have.
