I don't even know there's a "next day" delay implied in that FX programming on
Hulu. Even if there is, to watch the program VOD, that's entirely negligible.

Vague generalities. All depends what the viewer wants to watch. Many cable

If live content is sports, many people couldn't care less. If the live content
is better consumed on demand, it's now available on demand with an
insignificant delay (sometimes hours only).
Sorry, Craig. Exclusive means nothing if I can get the same new content through
other channels.
