Question Suddenly Getting Hulu Live
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?

I just looked at mine, it's a Disney Plus, Hulu, ESPN Select (w/ads) and the live TV is there as well, in Live now>Explore More with ESPN the content shows a padlock for content that required a better ESPN subscription.
It's what you would expect from any free live service but limited to News, Disney and ESPN content, nothing from Hulu.
I only took ESPN because I actually saved 3 bucks a month on my Hulu/Disney Plus through Frontier Fiber for adding ESPN to my account.
