It is a joint corporate venture by Fox, ABC and NBC, and carries content from all three networks, plus their sundry cable networks and motion picture studios, as well as various other providers.

Because of international distribution rights, [[No Export for You|it can only be viewed on computers physically located in America]]. And '''only''' on computers, as Hulu specifically blocks out all set-top boxes and game consoles like the [[~~PlayStation~~ 3]] from accessing their programming through the regular web interface, ensuring that viewers watch the shows on television, not on a website connected to a television ([[Loophole Abuse|laptops and monitors with HDMI outputs notwithstanding]])...

All content is also made available 24/7 as opposed to the standard service rotating it on and off.
