Hulu announced Tuesday it’s increasing the price of its monthly streaming service/live TV bundle.
The virtual cable operator said that starting next month it has bumped up the service’s monthly fee by $10 a month, with the base package costing $64.99 a month.
Hulu is the leading virtual service with over 4 million subscribers, but internet buzz says it’s not friendly to Republican-leaning TV viewers.
Hulu offers more than 11 news and information channels, almost all with a liberal bent, including CNN, MSNBC, CBSN and ABC Live, among others.
Hulu does not carry Newsmax TV, which is available on all major cable and MVPD operators, as well as virtual Fubo TV.
The big Hulu rate increase will apply to both new and existing customers.
According to Nexttv.com, the 18% price hike puts Hulu Plus Live TV at the same price as its closest MVPD competitor, YouTube TV.
Hulu Plus Live TV offers subscribers its content library and a live TV-lineup of more than 65 channels.
Hulu users who want to watch their programming uninterrupted by commercials will pay $70.99 for the premium service.
Last year, Hulu increased the price for its virtual TV provider by $10 as well.
According to recent figures released by Disney, Hulu + Live TV leads the industry with 4.1 million subscribers.
