Yahoo! to buy stake in Hulu? (yhoo)
Yahoo! Inc. may buy a ``considerable'' stake in Hulu LLC if the video website goes public, according to Stifel Nicolaus & Co. According to a Bloomberg report, ``Hulu, owned by three of the biggest US broadcast networks, is preparing a share sale as early as this year that may value the company at more than $2 billion, a person with knowledge of the plan said Aug. 16.''
Hulu, the free American TV site, may begin charging for its content, according to Jonathan Miller, News Corp's chief digital officer.
