AT&T and Hulu Agree to Make More Shows Available
to AT&T Customers Through Multiple Platforms
- Start a Free Trial to watch your favorite popular TV shows on Hulu including Seinfeld, Bob's Burgers, This Is Us, Modern Family, and thousands more. It's all on Hulu.
- Now You Can Get Spotify Premium and Hulu For $9.99 a Month. Spotify and Hulu have lowered the price to get both services together to $9.99 a month.
- Spotify's massive song catalog can be streamed in decent quality on iPhone or Android without any tinkering. But if you're an audiophile, you've probably noticed that the sound quality can fluctuate from time to time. You're not wrong — Spotify has the default music quality set to 'Automatic,' which means music may be offered up at lower bitrates when bandwidth is low. Thankfully, this can.
DALLAS, May 13, 2015— AT&T ® and Hulu have signed a deal that will bring the popular Hulu subscription streaming service to AT&T* customers through AT&T’s websites and mobile applications.
'We know that our customers want to be able to access video on multiple devices,” said Andrew Goodman, associate vice president, AT&T content acquisition. “So we’re excited to be able to expand our relationship with Hulu and make its innovative and vast video selections available to AT&T customers on multiple screens.'
AT&T customers will be able to browse Hulu programs and select the shows they want to watch through an AT&T app for mobile device viewing or an AT&T website for Internet viewing. Combined with a leading TV Everywhere catalog, AT&T customers subscribing to Hulu will have one of the best selections available of current and past season full episodes. AT&T and Hulu also are exploring the possibility of bringing a Hulu app to TV.
“At Hulu, we strive to create the best possible video experience for customers – offering them the ability to view their favorite content, when, where and how they want,' said Tim Connolly, Hulu's senior vice president of partnerships and distribution. 'We are excited to be working with AT&T to connect its customers with our premium content on every screen.'
A limited number of 90-Days Free Trial Offers are available, while supplies last. This 90-Days Free Trial Offer expires and must be redeemed before the date advertised. Spotify reserves the right to earlier terminate this 90-Days Free Trial Offer at any time and for any reason.
This offering will become available to AT&T customers later this year.
Hulu is a premium streaming television destination that offers full libraries of hit series such as Seinfeld, Empire, South Park, CSI, Nashville and current season programming from five of the six top broadcast networks. For a monthly fee, Hulu subscribers have the ability to stream a broad library of full current and past seasons from numerous programming networks including ABC, Adult Swim, Cartoon Network, Comedy Central, FOX, FX, MTV, NBC, Nickelodeon and TNT. Hulu also offers the most comprehensive collection of classic films from The Criterion Collection, as well as its own library of Hulu Originals. The deal builds on AT&T’s current contract with Hulu for its free content.
The expanded relationship with Hulu complements AT&T’s other over-the-top initiatives, including Otter Media. Otter Media is a venture between AT&T and The Chernin Group, established to invest in, acquire and launch over-the-top (OTT) video services. This includes its purchase of a majority stake in Fullscreen, a global online media company that works with more than 50,000 content creators who engage 450 million subscribers and generate 4 billion monthly views.

About Hulu
Student Spotify Free Hulu
Hulu is a premium streaming TV destination that seeks to captivate and connect viewers with the stories they love by creating amazing experiences that celebrate the best of entertainment and technology. As we pursue this mission, we strive to continue to redefine and reinvent the TV-viewing experience.
Spotify has been emailing anyone who’s interested to let them know, but just in case you weren’t aware of the current trial offer which is about to run out — the streaming giant is once again offering a three-month trial for its premium subscription tier that normally costs about $10 a month.
In this case, you can try Spotify’s more full-featured Premium package for only 99 cents, which is certainly a great deal for someone curious about whether they’d actually listen to enough tunes to justify signing up for yet another streaming subscription service.
If the three-month, 99-cent option sounds attractive to you, however, you don’t have much longer to act. This offer ends on June 30, and while the company does bring this offer back semi-regularly, there’s no indication it would be anytime soon again.
In terms of what you get with Spotify Premium, you’ll be able to play millions of songs ad-free in addition to being able to download them to listen to offline. The price would switch to $9.99 per month if you decide to stick with the subscription after the three months are up, and this offer is also only open to users who haven’t already tried Spotify Premium yet.
In tandem with this offer, heads up students — there’s something for you here, too. Students likewise have through June 30 to sign up for three months of Spotify Premium, and you also get Hulu and Showtime as an additional sweetener. Three months of that bundle will cost 99 cents, at the end of which time students will pay just $4.99 a month.
This offer is part of a flurry of Spotify-related news in recent days, which includes a redesign of the app’s user interface to better highlight the company’s podcast offerings. The company also is reportedly testing a feature that would let you and your friends listen to music together. This so-called “Social Listening” feature includes a queue of tunes that participating friends can all add songs to and listen to, and possibly eventually use for a joint listening session in real-time.
