Our Take:

Online video service Pluto TV has scored a distribution deal with Hulu to stream its free TV and movies, Variety reports. What’s interesting about the startup, which also cut deals to stream content from Shout!

With the use of Hulu content, the platform is expanding its library beyond popular YouTube and digital content and into traditional TV shows from broadcasters.
