Online video service Hulu, which is seeking an additional owner, will offer suitors five years of access to shows from its current media-company owners, according to a report in Bloomberg, which cited people familiar with the situation.
Hulu plans to include two years of exclusivity. That means the new owners would have continued access to programs from Walt Disney Co. , News Corp. and Comcast's NBCUniversal. The move is important as companies like Amazon.com and Microsoft are not likely to bid without guaranteed access to this programming.
