In the case of WME, they are 1/3rd owned by Silver Lake, so some sophistication in this area isn't surprising: http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/05/02/silver-lake-takes-stake-in-william-morris-endeavor/ http://dealbook.nytimes.com/2012/05/02/silver-lake-takes-sta... I don't know about WME, but CAA also has a small venture arm.

I used to work at CAA and there are a few agents aware of a bleak future for the agency model but to be honest no one wants to face the music over there. Their investment arm is for tech and entertainment startups, I doubt they would use it for Hulu. A Hulu acquisition would require their Silverlake equivalent, TPG. I'm all for it, but trust me when I tell you that I doubt CAA will put a bid in on this. They are so far ahead #1 that they can't see it. It's a classic innovators dilemma problem.
