Time Warner rumored to be purchasing part ownership of Hulu with some potential bad news for cable cutters
According to reports, Time Warner is trying to purchase a 25% ownership share of Hulu with the main goal to lengthen the time new cable tv episodes appear on the service. Part of Time Warner's plan against cable cutters who don't want to pay for cable but still want to watch cable shows for free or without paying service providers.

Quote:
Time Warner, Inc. may have a plan to fight the cord cutting trend.

The Wall Street Journal reports the company is considering buying a 25 percent stake in Hulu, the streaming service best known for making new episodes of many TV shows available the day after they air. "People familiar with the discussions" say Time Warner wants episodes from current television seasons off the service to prevent more customers from leaving.

"Time Warner believes that the presence of full, current seasons on Hulu—or anywhere else outside the bounds of pay-TV—is harmful to its owners because it contributes to people dropping their pay-TV subscriptions, or 'cutting the cord,'" the publication writes.

As Perez Hilton explains, the proposed deal would mean seasons of shows currently on the air wouldn't be available until after the season finale airs. In other words, fans could binge-watch the first season of "Empire" because it already aired, but would have to wait to watch new episodes until after the entire second season wraps.
