Our Take:

When Showtime launching its OTT service in early July, it will be available for Hulu subscribers for an additional $8.99 a month.

Hulu subscribers will soon have the ability to add the SHOWTIME service to their Hulu subscription and stream on a wide range of the most popular internet-connected streaming devices.
