Of course... Hulu is set to start charging users in 2010. Apparently, it believes that users will appreciate "broadcast content" more if we have to pay for it - true story. However, Gizmodo got a second quote on the matter which served only to further confuse the matter - something about how the free, ad-based model was to be Hulu's flagship service model, and a pay-based model would be ancillary to that, or something.
In other words, Hulu will probably offer a handful of shows in very low-demand for free (Airwolf, anyone?), as well as last week's episode of Family Guy and the like, but the more premium, in-demand content (such as Buffy) will be on a subscription model.
As we reported earlier, Netflix now offers TV content as part of its subscription service.
