(Reuters) - Video streaming service provider Hulu is exploring plans to add an advertisement-free option to its service for a monthly subscription of about $12-$14, the Wall Street Journal reported.

Codenamed "NOAH", which expands to "No Ads Hulu", the ad-free service may be launched as early as this fall, the Journal reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

However, Hulu's owners still believe in the ad-supported version of the service and aim to use data to make advertising more relevant to viewers, the newspaper said.

Of course.

Hulu is owned by the cable companies, with Comcast maintaining a fairly large stake. What's another major entertainment platform in which the customer has to pay to watch a bevy of ads?

Cable.

Hulu sucks until it gets rid of ads.

I get it free with Bing Rewards. I'd still pay for it though since I don't have cable/satellite. Let's me watch stuff on my TV without waiting 6 months after the season ends.

I don't worry about three 25 seconds commercials.
