Hulu has a new competitor in its sights: cable. At the NewFronts, the streaming service announced they’re focusing in on the 70% of Hulu users that watch their service on smart and connected TV devices by providing more premium content and children’s programming. But the big news is that they’ll be going head to head with cable by 2017, offering live sports, event coverage, and news programming for the first time. Hulu’s subscriber count grew by 33% last year, and our latestmedia tracker revealed that 28% of 13-33-year-olds are using Hulu to watch video content weekly or more often. (Kidscreen)
