Free Era Of Hulu Ends May 24

The title of this topic is wrong. Much of Hulu is still free. It's only the older episodes of current TV programs that will cost you. I see nothing wrong with that.

We are spoiled, and we shouldn't be. Whether it's newspapers or TV, we should not expect to get content for free. The fact that the media companies allowed that to happen is their fault. However, they are trying to correct that mistake before they go out of business.

Get used to pay walls on websites. You will see a lot of them from here on out.
 
I'm not so sure...yet.

On-line media are just dipping their toes into the water at this point. Nobody wants to price themselves into oblivian. On the other hand, if everyone jumps in the water, then all bets are off.

I just paid $163 for a year of The Charlotte Observer. I pay close to $30 a year extra for the TV section, which I prefer over trying to navigate TiVo's listings when I want to tape something, plus there are stories, plus i get to keep it if it's on paper. And I'll need it when I go on vacation! No guarantee there will be a TV Guide Channel.

Wow, the Arizona Republic is a huge bargain. I pay $65 per year, including the TV section (granted, I just get Wed/Fri/Sat/Sun delivery), but those are the important days. The website is free to all.

In addition, I just saw an add for $50 per year for Wednesday and Sunday delivery!! Of course, the Arizona Republic has very little customer service. If you don't get your newspaper, they won't redeliver it except on Sundays. You have to talk to customer service in Nebraska, who have no idea what's going on in Arizona.

Nebraska? I recently had a problem and the people I talked to had the same accent as when I have a computer problem.

It takes some effort, but I always get my paper when I miss it. It may take a few days.
