Why The Streamable Recommends Watching ‘AI and the Future of Us’ on Hulu + Live TV

Hulu + Live TV is the best way to stream AI and the Future of Us, either live or on-demand.

With ABC still blacked out on DIRECTV STREAM thanks to the satellite company’s ongoing carriage dispute with Disney, Hulu + Live TV is by far the best choice for watching Oprah’s new special. The streamer comes with a three-day free trial, so customers who have never watched it before can watch it for free. Hulu + Live TV carries ABC in the vast majority of American media markets.

Plans start at $75.99 per month, but customers who pay just $1 more get all three streamers in the Disney Bundle free with their Hulu + Live TV subscription. That means you’ll get Disney+ and ESPN+ at no additional cost, as well as Hulu, which will be offering the special on-demand the day after it airs live on ABC.
