Part 5/9:
Shifting focus to the media industry, Hulu's plan to create an online TV bundle capable of streaming major broadcast and cable channels was hotly debated. The platform is partly owned by major players like Disney, 21st Century Fox, and Comcast, raising questions about whether or not these ownership ties would help or hinder Hulu's success as a competitor to Netflix.
Moser emphasized that Hulu's new offering shouldn't be viewed as a direct challenge to Netflix but rather as a response to profound changes in the content distribution landscape. The rise of the internet has transformed how consumers access their media, creating a demand for more personalized and flexible viewing options away from traditional cable subscriptions.
