Hulu will be offered internationally following Disney's purchase of Fox.
That article is from last year and I was not referring to it. Makes you wonder why they haven't offered it internationally though.

Yes, but I read recently that the contract with Sky ends next year, so maybe we will get additional
content apart from the usual Disney Fayre. It will be interesting to see what transpires.

HULU has quite a bit of original content too aswell as content from Awesome studios and some shows that haven't been picked up in uk so it wouldn't surprise me if it launches internationally very soon.

If enough of that does appear in the UK version, I would consider subscribing.

I know the intent was always to laugh at the casual racism but I can’t help wondering whether that was lost on much of the mass audience. Also, stripped of its context it is even easier now to just give the show a superficial reading and find offence in the mere speaking of words rather than engaging with the reasons why they’re being said. I suspect if old Alf is going to survive in the public consciousness it will have to be via DVD sales.

Speaking of which, I found that Curry and Chips (apparently also written by Johnny Speight of Alf Garnett fame) actually got a DVD release. It’s marketed, somewhat cheekily, as “the complete series”, but the complete series is only 6 episodes because the ITA banned it. Banned for being racist by a panel of old white men in 1969. That’s got to be an achievement. It’s almost worth finding the DVD just to see how awful it was, but there’s no need because the whole lot seems to be on YouTube

IMO, I do see Disney doing the same as what they did in Australia and New Zealand by withdrawing linear channels including Sky Cinema Disney, Disney Junior and Disney XD. In turn, I think Disney will shift ABC/Fox content from Sky 1 and Sky Witness and move it to a relaunched Fox. I could also see the UK and Ireland getting Fox content before the States as Fox content already belongs to Sky, too.

“Oh not another one!”

A lot of stuff on Hulu in America is found on Netflix in the uk. Does this mean more content splitting and more to pay AGAIN?

Interestingly I’ve got Apple TV for free for a year as I got a new iPhone? Didn’t even know this was a thing. Find the layout of the app as confusing as amazon where it doesn’t tell you what’s free to watch and has different sections to “pay” which you have to be careful to choose after a few drinks

Other than the original Apple stuff any stuff Apple have purchased for this service from other providers?

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

The Apple interface is even worse than Amazon. At least with Prime there’s a flash in the corner of the cover art to indicate which items are included in the subscription. And while Amazon displays paid and inclusive content on the same screen they do at least separate it into separate rows. So far I’ve not spotted any quick way of telling what’s what on Apple.

(A+ is also free with a student Apple Music subscription).

It's going to get worse with Warner launching a service too so we could see all dc stuff moved onto that.

Re: Netflix/Streaming Services

Don't forget that someof these services will be subscription free. Peacock will be one of them.

Peacock will be two tiers i believe a free ad supported tier and a pay no ad tier.
WB certainly will not be free.
I think hulu will do two tiers a ad supported one at £5.99p/m and a ad free one at £11.99p/m don't forget these companies tend to just change the currency symbol rather than price match.
WWE network has a free version launching soon too.

Not getting that, at least in the short term as Warner signed a new deal with Sky and Sky will keep all access rights to HBO stuff.
