Hulu & TV.com battling it out
Hulu & TV.com battling it out
After CBS relaunched the TV.com website in January with more content, more social features and other new site options, the site enjoyed a 263% increase in unique visitors, overtaking Hulu.com’s traffic numbers.
Is the content removal from TV.com a direct response from Hulu owners due to the surging popularity of TV.com? It certainly appears that way. This may just be the start of a legal TV streaming website war. At the very least it should be interesting battle to watch play out. We’ll be staying tuned and reporting on future updates.

I still want CBS to put full episodes up of The Mentalist.

@Steve, I can’t believe that CBS doesn’t put ALL of their content up on TV.com. They would if they really wanted the site to succeed.
@Diana, TV.com has full episodes as well ( http://www.tv.com/video/full-episodes.html ). They had even more until Hulu’s content partners pulled all of their content off of TV.com.
