Well, folks…it’s happening. Hulu’s finally bit the bullet and moved ahead with a paid service for the on-demand site for watching television shows. The site is going to start charging $9.95 a month, starting as early as May 24th, for access to all of the shows they provide. The last 5 episodes of popular network shows (Glee, Lost, etc.) will remain free, but anything older than that will require a subscription. It’s not clear yet whether some of the older, less popular content will have free selections, but its looking like its only going to be current, popular shows that have recent episodes kept free. The new subscription service will be called Hulu Plus.
