DirecTV, the largest U.S. satellite TV provider, is interested in acquiring at least a stake in online-video site Hulu LLC, according to two people with knowledge of the situation.
Discussions are at an early stage and it’s uncertain if the company would want to buy all of Hulu or just a portion, said the people, who asked not to be identified because negotiations are private. Walt Disney Co., News Corp. and Comcast Corp. each own about one-third of Hulu.
