"FX on Hulu" to begin March 2020

As the folks at Disney restructure their system of "television" distribution within the era of streaming, the world was recently advised of something called FX on Hulu which will begin in March. The Hollywood Reporter offers an explanation FX to Produce Programming for Hulu while Engaget's piece was titled FX's entire show archive arrives on Hulu next March. And since Hulu and FX are both now owned by Disney, The Verge offers a different angle Disney is using FX to ensure people don’t forget about Hulu.

 

Last week we streamed 11 broadcast primetime series episodes from ABC, Fox, and NBC via Hulu.

 

I'm not quite sure how to answer your question. Hulu offers live TV streaming (60 or more channels) with recording like many other services, but to find out which channels in your area you would have to go to their web site. They do not include CBS anywhere. But I don't subscribe to live streaming.

Generally, their non-live streaming service offers most ABC, Fox and NBC shows for streaming the day after they air. How many past episodes are available varies with some going back many seasons while some - like the "Chicagos" from NBC limited to a half dozen or so. Like other streaming services they offer a lot more, even programming from the United Kingdom, movies, etc. You really need to check their website.

 

Just a reminder that FX on Hulu starts tomorrow. The news stories are confusing regarding what FX content will be on Hulu, but premiering exclusively on FX on Hulu on Thursday will be the new miniseries "Devs" by English novelist, screen writer, producer, and director Alex Garland about Lily Chan (Sonoya Mizuno), a computer engineer investigating the disappearance of her boyfriend who worked for a quantum computing company called Amaya, run by Forest (Nick Offerman).

Some have said that Disney which owns both Hulu and FX is adding the FX on Hulu hub to appeal to an older audience, meaning GenX and Boomers. In any event, there will be 1,600+ back episodes of FX shows available tomorrow.

 

Well, FX on Hulu is on Hulu. They've just given FX a menu item which leads to FX programming which, for ease of continued viewing, if you select a program you can simply add it to the "My Stuff" listing along with the other Hulu stuff you may have there.
