Disney Bundle Basic on Hulu at last

I've subscribed to Hulu for years. Ever since Hulu started a paid subscription plan, I've been a subscriber.

For those that don't remember, or never knew, originally Hulu was a free Web-based service that was supported by ads. When streaming devices became more popular, around 10+ years ago, Hulu started a subscription service called Hulu Plus.

Later, Hulu dropped the free ad-supported service and it became a fully paid service, still supported by ads. Later, Hulu added an ad-free service. Then live TV. And then the Disney Bundle. And now, the Disney Bundle with ads or without.

Early on, Roku had Hulu Plus (later called just plain "Hulu") and had all the Hulu options available. Until the Disney Bundle with ads that launched a few months ago. Hulu only supported the Disney Bundle ad-free version. The cheaper "with ads" version wasn't available on Roku.

That's now changed. The Disney Bundle with Ads is now available on Roku. It's about time.

I think Disney was the holdup on this, not Roku. But, wherever the issue was, it's not an issue any longer. It's now a thing. I can watch Disney Bundle with Ads on Roku. And I'm trying it out. I've modified my subscription to the ad-supported version and will try it for a bit.
