Hulu has recently been joined by yet another network. The Walt Disney Company, who is very possibly the biggest broadcasting companies that there are. This information became public this morning, April 30, 2009. This helps hulu because now they are able to broadcast for one of the largest networks, and the Walt Disney Company can get their presence known more over the internet. Disney wants to be able to reach the most people that they possibly can to get their programs out into the public to maybe tune in one day. According to the article hulu and Disney just want to be able to give the best quality of entertainment that they can.
In my opinion, now that Hulu has the Walt Disney Company hulu will be able to get the advertising that they want. As well as all the promotions they want because they are broadcasting all major networks, with the exception of CBS, programs online. It is also probably cheaper for the networks to broadcast this way also. I think that Hulu is going to be an unstoppable force that is changing the way networks broadcast altogether.

Article #4

The article I chose was mainly about the American Idol contestant Adam Lambert, and him publicly being gay. American Idol has been a hit broadcast since it first started 8 years ago. There has obviously been some controversy surrounding the outside of the show such as the Paula situation, contestants with nude photos on the internet, and now a contestant being openly gay. It raises the controversy of him possibly winning. At the same time controversy usually makes for good television. So people will continue to tune in to watch if Adam wins the title or not.

I chose this article because of more or less the target audience. Granted there are people in America that watch this show that have a disagreement about how Adam chooses to live his life. Whereas to other people it does not matter what his sexual orientation is. This topic is going to definitely effect the voting within the program, but American Idol will be receiving an overwhelming audience. It will end up doing good for Fox Network, and all of its advertisers.
