Hulu’s Working on a Show of Their Own: Die, Cable Providers, Die [Hulu]

Hulu just put out a casting call looking for hosts for a new clip show they’ve inside the works. While seemingly innocuous, could this be the birth of the net’s first major TV studio/broadcaster?

According to All Things D, Hulu’s new show will reportedly run five minutes per episode, and appear daily on the location, aiming to capture the day’s events in internet and TV culture. Basically, it wants to be a bite-sized version The Soup/Web Soup/Tosh.0.

Like Fast Company says , this isn’t one of the most original idea for a show in any medium, but no other internet-centric company/studio doing stuff this has Hulu’s reach or resources. And may Hulu find that they have got an audience for original content, it’s not so unfeasible to determine them dive headfirst into the content production world, especially with the networks and cable providers getting increasingly hostile about internet TV .
