Three-Year Deal Nets Hulu Exclusive Rights To South Park 138
First time accepted submitter gunner_von_diamond writes with news about a deal between the creators of South Park and Hulu. If you're a fan of South Park, you better be a fan of Hulu as well. Specifically, Hulu Plus. The creators of the funny, foul-mouthed animated TV show have signed a deal with the online streaming service. Valued at more than $80 million, the three-year deal grants Hulu exclusive rights to stream the 240+ episode back catalog of South Park in addition to all new episodes (as soon as they've aired on Comedy Central). "This is a natural partnership for us. We are excited that the entire library will be available on Hulu and that the best technology around will power South Park Digital Studios," said creators Trey Parker and Matt Stone, in a statement.

define sold out, they're fairly wealthy, adding another distribution channel isn't really selling out, its reaching a wider audience, they sell out when they start censoring themselves.

Thanks, South Park!

Yeah. But it's Hulu.
Sorry, but Hulu's add-supported format sucks so hard you're expecting it to eat a bird and explode like a jet engine.
And any sub fees for Hulu Plus don't make those stupid, repetitive ads go away or decrease in frequency. You're just paying for access to more ad-infested content.
If that's competition, I'll stick with Amazon Prime and Netflix.
