Hulu Versus TV.com - It's On!

Are you one of the many fans of Hulu, the popular online TV streaming website jointly owned by NBC and News Corp?  Perhaps you've heard of TV.com's recent venture into TV streaming now that CBS purchased TV.com. 

Well, it has been confirmed that Hulu.com has pulled its content from TV.com (see screen-grab of Heroes Episode from TV.com showing unavailable)  in what looks like the beginning of an "online streaming war" between Hulu and TV.com

TV.com Battle with Hulu

Since CBS re-launched the TV.com website in January with the new social features, content and streaming, the site thrived with a 263% increase in unique viewers.  I'm guessing Hulu wants to keep their popularity and maintain Hulu as THE online TV streaming site.
