Comcast approached Disney about buying Hulu back earlier this year. So did private equity firms. They sensed Disney wasn’t invested in it, but Disney quickly said no. https://t.co/5LdAoYbkKz

Interesting article about why Disney’s grand, global plans for Hulu have not come to fruition. Lots to ponder about its future, including the “Could become a hub on Disney+” mention - because again, Disney owns a LOT of non kid-friendly content https://t.co/Gdfg4SKRsf

Hulu had plans to expand overseas, and finally compete with Netflix outside the US. Disney was enthusiastic until it considered the cost. https://t.co/5LdAoYbkKz

"some Disney employees speculate Hulu will become a hub within Disney+" - this would be bizarre given that Hulu is ad supported. Good one from @Lucas_Shaw https://t.co/rI6pU0Tzd9

Disney would need to spend at least $4 billion to push Hulu into Latin America, Europe (and eventually elsewhere). https://t.co/5LdAoYbkKz

While Disney was identifying streaming as its top priority, it was second guessing just how much it wanted to invest in one of its primary platforms: Hulu https://t.co/4MtgZDA4iv

Disney says its future is streaming. But is it all-in on Hulu, the very large streaming service it controls? I spent a few months trying to figure that out. https://t.co/5LdAoYbkKz
