Hulu Live Just Added 3 New Channels (Yes, Those Are the Ones)

Hulu Live, the live streaming service which costs $89.99 a month, today added the three C-SPAN channels, following YouTube TV which added them last week.
C-SPAN, which covers the live proceedings of the U.S. Congress and other federal meetings, has sought for several years to have its three channels on live streaming services. Congress even passed a resolution urging live streaming services to carry C-SPAN. (Until this month, DIRECTV streaming was the only live streaming service to carry them.)
But the live streamers, which are not under the same federal regulations as cable and satellite, had balked, noting the added expense of carrying them. It’s not clear what changed but the FCC during the summer rejected a request from broadcasters to impose the same regulatory fees on live streamers that are now on satellite and broadcasters. The streamers lobbied hard to get the exemption – and, as we all know, Washington, D.C. is a quid pro quo world.
C-SPAN today celebrated the Hulu launch with a post on X, the social media site.
If you’re interested in Hulu Live, the streamer now has a 3-day free trial.
