As Variety reports, new episodes of popular Comedy Central programs The Daily Show and @Midnight have ceased being posted to Hulu as of this week, with the majority of the network’s library set to disappear completely by the end of the month.
As the current decade has progressed, it seems like each year sees the TV landscape shift further and further away from standard cable and satellite services, and closer and closer to subscription streaming services reigning supreme.
Sure enough, the full force of that decision will soon be felt by subscribers to Hulu, the third most popular SVOD streaming service behind only Netflix and Amazon Prime.
Unfortunately, this shift isn’t generally sitting well with the mega media corporations that have long depended on the classic cable subscription model to make big profits.
