Bloomberg: "Hulu LLC, the television streaming service owned by Hollywood media companies, plans to provide all episodes of original series at once to paying subscribers, exploiting the popularity of so-called binge viewing.
Six episodes of “The Wrong Mans,” a co-production with the British Broadcasting Corp., will become available on Nov. 11 for Hulu Plus subscribers, Andy Forssell, acting chief executive officer, told reporters today at a TV critics conference in Beverly Hills, California. Customers of the free service will have to wait each week for a new episode.
“With that show, it’s so easy to binge watch,” Forssell said. “We think it will be a good opportunity to draw subscribers to Hulu Plus.”
Are Disney and Stan Australia about to partner up and offer members a highly discounted bundle deal? All signs suggest that just might be the case.

The rumors are true — you can now get Hulu (well, most of it) without the ads. You’ll just have to pay more to avoid all those obnoxious, repetitive commercial interruptions.
