While Fox has considered increasing its support for Hulu’s on-demand service, local Fox affiliates are reportedly on the outside looking in at Hulu’s live TV service.

Last month, reports surfaced that 21st Century Fox is sending a 24/7 live feed of its network to Hulu without including local affiliate stations' content.

According to The Wall Street Journal, the national feed of Fox is available on Hulu’s live TV service in up to 70 markets—including Baltimore, Pittsburgh, Cincinnati and Birmingham, Alabama—where Fox has yet to reach streaming deals with its affiliates and station groups.

Hulu this week also added new device support for its live TV service. Customers can now use Amazon Fire TV and Fire TV Stick to access the service.
