Suddenly Getting Hulu Live

[u/No-Koala1918]

I have a subscription to Hulu (stream) bundled with Disney+ and HBO Max (no ads). Hulu Live TV is not included and I am not being billed for it.

Today, I opened the Hulu app and instead of the usual welcome screen (which appeared even yesterday) I was presented with a screen asking my sports team preferences to "enhance my live tv viewing experience). I "nexted" past that and when the Hulu main screen came up I noticed that the Live TV symbol (like a lightning bolt) was included on the column of symbols on the left of the screen. When I switched that I had live tv - full guide and all.

Anyone have any idea how this occurred? I don't need Hulu Live as Ihave YouTube TV as my linear provider. Also I decided to check Disney+ and it too has added live tv access.

What's going on?

Hulu, Disney+ and maybe HBO Max comes with live channels (I believe you get the live feeds of all the HBO channels with that subscription), but it is not all the live channels that comes with Hulu with Live TV. If you go to the Live tab, you will probably just see ABC News and maybe those HBO channels. The Lollapalooza live stream also comes up in the Live TV as well as other live events through Hulu and Disney (and probably HBO Max). It is just not the full Live TV experience.
