ABC News content is being added to Hulu on its own dedicated channel. Short and long form programming from Good Morning America, ABC World News with Diane Sawyer, Nightline, This Week, 20/20 and Primetime will be available, as well as select programming from ABC News' digital channel ABC News Now.

"We're happy to be able to provide our audience with another way to watch ABC News," said David Westin, president of ABC News. "We look forward to sharing our reporting with users on one of the top video destinations on the Internet."

ABC News joins NBC News and Fox News programming on the video site, which is a joint venture of NBC Universal, News Corp. and The Walt Disney Company. Hulu has also been streaming a number of important news events live, including the State of the Union address, and a number of President Obama's primetime press conferences. It had been using feeds from either NBC or Fox for those events.

No word on whether ABC News would lend its feed to future live events coverage.
