"If you adore your Hulu + Live TV subscription, I’m afraid I’ve got some bad news.
The company announced Friday that its very good Hulu + Live TV plan—which includes ad-supported Hulu plus access to live and on-demand TV channels—is hiking from $45 per month to $55 beginning December 18. Considering this amounts to an additional $120 per year you’re paying for the service—on top of whatever other pricey subscriptions you’re also paying for (ahem, Netflix)—an extra $10 per month is nothing to sneeze at.
Gizmodo reached out to Hulu for comment about the changes and was pointed to a company blog post about the price hike. The blog didn’t offer much insight as to why Hulu landed on this exact number other than to state that the new monthly subscription cost “better reflects the substantial value of Hulu + Live TV and allows us to continue offering all of the popular live news, sports and entertainment programming included in the plan.”
