Why are episodes of Survivor missing on Hulu?

While several Reddit users are furious, many feel that reason behind error is due to musical rights. According to some, Hulu will have to pay royalties in order to stream episode on ir platform. Hence, y have dropped showcasing episodes. Take a look at what netizens have to say on Reddit:

Most likely music rights issues. For most shows, y paid for brocast rights for music to air on TV. Since DVDs and streaming weren’t major things back n, no one secured rights for those. Now when y want to make show for streaming or DVDs/Blu-Rays, y have to pay for rights for each of those platforms. It can be extremely expensive to do so. This is reason some shows will never make it to streaming or Blu-Ray. If y do, sometimes y’ll replace original music or remove scene.
