Will Time Warner become a partner in Hulu?

There are reports of a possible deal that would give Time Warner a 25 percent stake in Hulu.

According to the Wall Street Journal, which published the report, a Time Warner investment in Hulu would give the company a valuation of $5 billion and an infusion of cash. That could help Hulu license — and create — more content, and would give it more of an edge in competing against Netflix and Amazon.
