At least two pay TV operators, including Time Warner Cable Inc. (NYSE:TWC) are planning to invest in Hulu, LLC as Hulu considers a range of strategic options, according to people familiar with the matter. It isn't clear how much Time Warner Cable is willing to pay and whether it is considering purchasing a minority stake in the site or an all-out acquisition. Hulu's current owners including News Corp. (NasdaqGS:NWSA); Comcast Corporation (NasdaqGS:CMCS.A) and The Walt Disney Company (NYSE:DIS) don't see the cable operator as the most likely buyer at the valuation it has signaled it would do the transaction, one of the people familiar with the matter said. The identity of the other pay TV operator isn't known. For regulatory reasons, Comcast can't vote its stake. News Corp and Disney have been at odds about the strategic direction for Hulu, and more recently the companies have been considering selling the site. Another option is for News Corp. or Disney to buy the other out. Former News Corp. President Peter Chernin's investment group has made an offer for Hulu, people familiar with the matter say. In addition, Guggenheim Partners, LLC and Yahoo! Inc. (NasdaqGS:YHOO) has shown interest in the site., people familiar with the situation said.
