Hulu has confirmed the impending launch of its live TV streaming service. According to Cord Cutter News, which obtained a survey Hulu is sending to select subscribers, the basic package will start at $35 and allow streaming to one in-home device or mobile device.

Some 80 channels appear to be included in the $35, including AMC, ESPN, TBS, TNT and USA.
