Talk is in the air of a deal finally happening between online tv heavyweight Hulu and cutesy but all powerful Disney corp.

After being in the pot for several months, an announcement will be made within days that Disney content will be available to view on Hulu.

Once finalised the deal will see Disney TV shows including Lost currently showing on ABC and a selection of Disney movies but in return Disney are expecting a stake in Hulu and even a seat on the board!

The hold up in the deal is what content will be available and for how long type conundrums. But once announced it will be a major deal for the two giants with Disney driving more traffic to its content and securing more advertising revenue whilst Hulu get even more content on its already content rich website.

The news comes after the well publicised Disney and Youtube deal, which allows the video giant to show only previews and clips of Disney content.

Whatever happens and whenever. The face of online TV and how we watch it is slowly evolving. The networks are wary in giving too much premium content for too long as this may take viewers away from the traditional television set.

The big networks are however fully aware that it is a train that cannot be stopped. So having full control over it is where Hulu wants to be. But then so does Youtube.

Stay tuned, online tv gets more interesting every day.
