Disney has announced that it has now obtained an equal equity stake in the popular online video site Hulu, giving it equal influence with founders NBCU and Fox.
Some of the popular content that will be available immediately are current and hit TV shows from Disney and ABC such as Lost, Dancing with the Stars and Hannah Montana. There will also be "popular library titles" from Walt Disney Studios.
Hulu has rapidly become the third place video site online, behind YouTube and Fox Interactive, seeing 380 million clips viewed last month.
Disney's deal is the first time the company has moved its TV lineup from its own ABC.com streaming site.
