McDonald's Buys Prime Time 'Roadblock' on Hulu


McCafe Sponsorship Gives Users 8 Hours of Ad-Free Viewing


NEW YORK (AdAge.com) -- Hulu doesn't like to be perceived as competing against TV, but that's what McDonald's has the web video site doing with a new campaign for its line of upscale coffee drinks, McCafe.

McDonald's wanted to roadblock Hulu.com to maximize impact among its 42 million monthly unique viewers.

The fast-food chain is promoting a commercial-free "prime time" on Hulu tonight, starting at 7 p.m. ET and lasting eight hours until midnight on the West Coast.

During that period, thanks to McDonald's, all shows from all networks will stream without advertising, except for a branded frame advertising the McCafe.
