NBCUniversal has terminated its agreement to license shows to Walt Disney Co.-controlled Hulu, an NBCU spokesperson confirmed Friday. Starting this fall, episodes of shows such as “Saturday Night Live” and “The Voice” will no longer stream on the service the day after they air.
The nixing of the content deal comes as Comcast tries to grow its own streaming service, Peacock, which launched in 2020. Peacock has 9 million paying subscribers and 24.5 million monthly active accounts, Comcast said in January. Hulu has 45.3 million subscribers, including people who pay for a bundle of live TV channels through the service.
NBCUniversal’s move is part of a larger media industry trend in which studios and networks pull shows and movies they’ve licensed to rivals and use them to grow their own direct-to-consumer platforms.

Time for Disney to buy NBCUniversal. There can only be one survivor of the franchise wars.
