Hulu isn’t the only company to recognize that trend. A host of live-TV streaming services are cropping up online, and the marketplace is growing crowded. Dish Network Corp.‘s Sling TV and Sony Corp.‘s PlayStation Vue already offer cable-like packages over the internet, and AT&T is introducing DirecTV Now at an event Monday in New York. Amazon and Google’s YouTube have also been working on similar plans. (Thus far none has been a major hit; the biggest, Sling, has about a million subscribers, according to Parks Associates.)
