Hulu Gang Decides to Put On a Show

[ECTNews]

 Hulu is launching its first long-form original program this summer, a documentary series called "A Day in the Life." Six half-hour episodes, directed by filmmaker Morgan Spurlock, will feature such people as jet-setting entrepreneur Richard Branson, rapper and songwriter will.i.am, comedian Russell Peters and musician Girl Talk. The series starts on Aug. 17 and will run on succeeding Wednesdays. The announcement comes at an interesting time for Hulu. The company has put itself on the block for sale -- an uncertain time for any new endeavor to launch.
