the cw signs deal with hulu

We knew The CW made a good call by not making their streaming deal exclusive with Netflix!

Earlier this month, CW President Mark Pedowitz announced that the network had signed a 4-year non-exclusive licensing deal with Netflix, in which 700+ hours of CW shows would be available for streaming.

Now, the network has ALSO signed a five-year licensing agreement with Hulu, which will provide both Hulu Plus and the free version of Hulu with CW programming by the end of the year!

Here's what Prez Pedowitz had to say about the new deal:

"Our new arrangement with Hulu only affirms the incredible value of The CW’s series, as well as amplifying the immense power of the broadcast network model. As we increase the amount of year round original programming on The CW, this deal provides our shows with greater exposure on a new platform, helping build even more awareness that will drive viewers back to the network and its affiliates. We see this as a win for everyone involved, the network, the stations, Hulu and ultimately, the viewers."

And here's more from Hulu's SVP of Content Andy Forssell:

"The CW programming is a great example of the kind of in-season content we want to make available on our service – high-quality, engaging, serialized shows that fans passionately love. Making these shows available on Hulu and Hulu Plus will allow new and existing fans to get their fix of The CW’s great shows anytime and anywhere."

How exciting! Now you'll have NO excuse for falling behind on Vampire Diaries!

Speaking of which…we can't wait to meet evil Klaus' mother Esther next week! Creeeeepy!!!!

This is great news! As someone who barely has time to watch shows as they're on, now I can finally stay updated on CW shows which I'm completely out of the loop on.

I didnt think the CW really had any good shows to watch in the first place!

Lea Michele & Naya Rivera's On Set Feud Led To One Of Them Storming Off! Get Glee's She Said, She Said Deets HERE!

Uh-oh, drama is a-brewin' on the Glee set and we're not talking about the scripted dramz!

Word on the street is Lea Michele has been a total diva during filming and Naya Rivera isn't having it!

Sources close to Naya revealed most of the cast and crew were annoyed by Princess Lea's antics on set this week, making everyone wait to shoot while she dealt with personal matters!

So, Naya did what any other fed up person would do! She went straight to the producers to tell them about her Glee co-star's behavior, and when Lea caught wind of the tattletale, she left the set!

Talk about a figurative slap in the face!

Lea sources, however, are claiming the two co-stars weren't even filming scenes together, and that Lea was unaware of the said complaints against her.

The source even mentioned Naya being tossed off the set for HER rude behavior…not the other way around!

This is totally doesn't sound like Lea, especially since she's all for the encouragement and empowering other women! She is the ambassador for L’Oreal Paris’ Women of Worth campaign after all.

But maybe life is imitating art for these two!
