Hulu Brings TV Shows Back To Life

TV website Hulu has been going through a lot of changes and is still finding its place in the online tv landscape, but in the area of boosting flagging network tv shows it is doing a great job.
Although speculation is rife that the hit website may be interpreted over by Comcast and all its premium content locked out to non nonrecreational TV audience, it may be a great place to revive shows that the networks no longer want.
 Once a show starts flagging or falling viewer numbers, the authorship is on the wall and usually the next series is axed, and the show ends its natural life, but on Hulu antecedently dying shows are acquiring a new lease of life.
 

Take a look at the hit show – Terminator: The Sarah Connor Chronicles. The series premiered on Fox with good figures in January 2008, its endorse and last season each show averaged a dissapointing 4.6 million viewers. However on Hulu usershave ranked it in position 35 out of the sites favorites.

It may be that the networks will, or else of holding the view that the web is an extension of what they offer on standard tv, the web could be used to distribute a different kind of entertainment content and thereby allow online tv to be a positive knead instead of killing there business.

Nielsen have released the online viewing numbers for the month of September 2009, and viewers time spent watching online telecasting has increased by 25%.
Even though live Internet tv and video is only a small amount of the number video consumed (2%), the fact it is increasing so much and so fast shows that its a very healthy market.

 The amount of time spent viewing during the month came in at 195.2 minutes, also up by 24.8% versus the previous year.
 

There was however a minor dip compared to August’s figures: 3% in total streams and off 4.7% in the time per viewer per month.
unequalled monthly September viewers also climbed year on year. The figures were up 12.3% to 139.3 million. The number of streams per viewer also was up 11% to 79.1 average streams per month.

Young upstart, Hulu was in second place but a long way behind in numbers. Showing 437.4 million streams and 13.5 million users. Yahoo has a little more than half the number of streams of Hulu with 228.5 million. However the site has more than twice the unique monthly visitors, at 30.1 million.
