Hulu’s cable bundle likely to be announced at the end of May

Several Wall Street analysts are miffed they’re not being invited to Hulu’s New Front presentation this week. They were told its just for advertisers.

They might not miss much business news, since we hear Hulu won’t unveil its new virtual cable bundle offering, after all. Sources say that news is more likely to come at the end of May, when partners will be revealed along with a price, expected to be $42 per month.

Hulu, owned by 21st Century Fox, Disney and Comcast, is a premium TV and movie provider. The company is venturing beyond its original mission to deliver a bundle of channels over the internet. Dish’s Sling TV, Sony PlayStation Vue, AT&T’s DirecTV Now and YouTube are already in the space.

Hulu is already receiving critical praise for its terrifying series “The Handmaid’s Tale,” starring Elisabeth Moss.
