Hulu Adds A+E Networks to Live TV Service, Viacom Out

The battle for tight space on Hulu’s upcoming online live TV service has seen A+E Networks replace Viacom channels in the 40-channel offering, handing subscribers access to popular shows like History’s Vikings and Lifetime’s UnReal. “As we begin to finalize our new live TV service, we’re pulling together the most valuable, well-rounded package of channels available for under $40,” Mike Hopkins, CEO of Hulu, said Friday in a statement.
