Right on the heels of the Viacom deal – Hulu is also adding PBS shows. The PBS programs, including Nova, Wired Science and others will have a 30-second pre-roll (gasp… a commercial before a PBS show?!). PBS and Hulu will split the spoils.

Actually, PBS has long had several commercials before shows on-air. I guess they call the advertisers “supporters” or something like that – but they’re commercials.
Yeah Rocker, it’s another example of sarcasm online not really working. The NYT pieces goes on and on about how PBS shows will have commercials… but everytime I watch PBS there seems to be a commercial these days.
PBS is like Clear Channel but useful.
