In the continuing ‘Internet TV wars’, TV.com’s owner CBS have intimated that they are not happy with Hulu withdrawing TV streams from their website and plan to continue streaming them.

In a statement CBS revealed they will fight the removal of Hulu’s streams on TV.com. They said:- “CBS Interactive is well within its rights to stream Hulu video content on TV.com under its agreement with Hulu. We are evaluating our next steps at this time.”

Last week in an unexpected move, Hulu streams were pulled from TV.com and also Boxee’s media center for what was described as ‘contractual obligations’, just nobody knows what that means at this time.

Hulu, the largest and most successful catch up tv network online is owned by NBC and Fox and is becomining the most dominant and influential online TV website.

The success is probably down to the fact that Hulu operates independently from its parent companies, however it looks like someone behind the scenes is starting to throw their weight around and stop streaming from anywhere else than Hulu’s main website.

Interestingly, CBS were invited to be part of the Hulu setup from inception but declined the offer.

Stay tuned for the next ‘internet tv wars’ update
