I think that's Disney's ace card. They will just tell Comcast (that pulled all their content from Hulu last fall) that they can have it- unless they offer it to Hulu at an excellent price. If neither blink, Disney'll sell it to the highest bidder, pull their content from Hulu, and wish the new owners well with the remnants.
The new leadership at Disney seems averse to paying out the nose for Hulu and Comcast being an a$$ and pulling its content last fall can't be helping. On the bright side, maybe getting Hulu sold off to a neutral third party would help it become a relevant content aggregator in the future.
