CBS's Quincy Smith wants to make case against Hulu

Flint, Joe. "CBS's Quincy Smith wants to make case against Hulu." Los Angles Times. 24 Sept. 2009. http://latimesblogs.latimes.com/entertainmentnewsbuzz/2009/09/cbss-quincy-smith-want-to-make-case-against-hulu.html

The CBS interactive CEO, Quincy Smith, sends an email to his staffers criticizing Hulu and that email somehow found its way to the public. In the email, he is quoted to have said, "We should think about how hard it would be to prove that some ratings declines are a result of reckless Hulu streams." Joe Flint, the author of the article, explains that a negative of Hulu is that if it takes the viewer away from the television, the big corporations are losing money. Not just only on lack of viewers watching the show, but the commercials shown during the show. He also explains that online platforms can help promote the different networks. In this way, Hulu is really actually helping these television networks.

I love watching television shows and Hulu is the only place I go if i miss an episode of a television show. Hulu is probably the greatest creation since television shows because it allows the viewer to view the episode at a later date if the viewer misses an episode. I think that Quincy Smith is just acting like a baby because times are changing and more things are starting to revolve around the Internet. He is just whining that CBS won't get as much money because Hulu is allowing viewers to watch episodes at a later time. He should just make a deal with Hulu to show their shows to have CBS make more money.
