Hulu + Live TV subscribers are about to lose yet another channel, and this time, it’s not just another licensing shuffle. The Vevo Features Channel is going away, but not because Hulu chose to drop it. Instead, Vevo itself is shutting the whole thing down.

The change takes effect on June 26, 2025. Hulu initially emailed subscribers to say the channel would no longer be available, but didn’t offer much context. That changed after a tweet from Hulu confirmed the real reason: “Sorry for any disappointment! Is this regarding Vevo Features? If so, we’re no longer able to offer the channel as it’s being shut down by Vevo.”

Microsoft, Google, Apple, et al -- they are all at it. There is not a big-name tech firm in existence that is not deeply invested in artificial intelligence, and for end users this means having AI tools dangled in front of them at any given opportunity.

Windows 11 has already seen more than its fair share of AI, and this is not something that shows any signs of changing.

Google has officially launched Google AI Ultra, a high-end subscription plan that unlocks the company’s most powerful AI tools. It’s being pitched as the best way to experience everything Google AI has to offer. Sure, maybe it is, but at $249.99 per month, it’s hard not to question the timing.

Look, with inflation still hitting wallets and layoffs continuing across industries, launching a $250 monthly plan feels completely disconnected from reality. Google’s positioning it as a VIP pass for filmmakers, researchers, and creatives. But let’s be honest, folks, that’s a very steep price in today’s economy.
