News Corp. and Walt Disney Co. are in talks that may lead to one of the partners in the Hulu.com video website buying out the other, two people with knowledge of the situation said.
In that scenario, an agreement would hand control of Hulu to either News Corp. or Disney, said the people, who sought anonymity because the talks are private. The companies, which each own about a one-third stake, are also discussing selling Hulu or changing the business model, they said. Comcast Corp.’s NBC would remain a minority investor.
