The online video site Hulu will enter the realm of live streaming video for the first time today by broadcasting the remaining presidential debates online.
Hulu has added a new election hub, much like many other sites have done lately to make the debates more interactive, with clips, sound bites, commentary and of course humor – as Tina Fey’s Sarah Palin sketches presumably have been as a big draw for the site as they have for SNL.
Live video is a big step for a site, which has specialized, in the time-shifting aspect of TV and movies. With so many other options to watch the debate in real time, however, Hulu will probably still find more of its viewers catching clips in the aftermath of the event.
YouTube has also been floating around the idea of adding live streaming video to its site for a while now, and it recently announced a live, celebrity-filled event scheduled for November.
