I was reading an announcement on Hulu regarding the departure of Comedy Central’s offerings from the website. This means two of my favorite shows that I watch regularly (The Daily Show and the Colbert Report) will be unavailable on Hulu. This is a huge disappointment to me and most likely a mistake on Comedy Central’s part.
Normally I don’t watch either show live because of their late night time slots. Therefore I use the subscribe feature on Hulu to have new episodes automatically added to a queue which I can watch at my convenience. Comedy Central’s website offers nowhere near the functionaly that Hulu offered. It’s a lot more inconvenient to catch up on these two shows.
Sadly to say this will probably mean I won’t be able to watch these two shows as often as I would prefer. I wonder if Comedy Central measures the amount of viewers of their shows on Hulu vs viewers through their own official website. I wouldn’t be surprised if there was a huge drop off in online viewers. Note that the streamed episodes on Hulu included commercials just like regular TV.
