Fox, according to The New York Times, may be followed by ABC, which is considering setting a similar limit.
The decision, which affects Fox shows like The Simpsons and Bones, was prompted by “a desire to protect lucrative deals with cable and satellite distributors,” the report says. “Increasingly, distributors are paying monthly fees for Fox programs through retransmission agreements and they dislike the facts that many of the programs are free online." Hulu Plus customers will still be able to stream the Fox shows a day after they air.
