For Dallas and Paul,

Here's an article from an Doctor Who Online.

   Hulu Also Lose Rights To Stream Doctor Who
   27 January 2016

   Following on from yesterday's confirmation that Netflix will no longer
   have the rights to stream Doctor Who episodes from 1st February 2016,
   Hulu have now also confirmed to DWO that they too will no longer have
   the rights.
   Earlier today we asked Hulu, via Twitter, if the recent rumours
   regarding them losing the rights were in fact true:

     @jsb1980 @netflix rumours are that @Hulu are also discontinuing
     their #DoctorWho library - hope they are just rumours. What say you,
     @Hulu?
     -- Doctor Who Online (@DrWhoOnline) January 27, 2016

   To which Hulu responded:

     @DrWhoOnline We didn't drop #DoctorWho. We just no longer have the
     rights to stream it and are lacking a TARDIS to remedy the
     situation. :(
     -- hulu (@hulu) January 27, 2016

   We then asked if there was any way around the issue, and once again got
   a reply:

     @DrWhoOnline Unfortunately, not right now, but we're always striving
     to license shows our viewers (Whovian or otherwise) want to see.

   Speculation is that the BBC are pulling streaming rights to give more
   focus to their own BBC Store service, but this has yet to be officially
   confirmed.
   UPDATE - 28th January 2016
   In a recent article on Decider.com, the BBC stated: "We hope to
   announce a new digital partner for Doctor Who shortly". Whether this
   means the re-inking of a deal with Netflix or Hulu, or their own
   stateside streaming service, is yet to be confirmed.
