Peacock vs. the competition
Data effective as of post date. Offers and availability may vary by location and are subject to change.
Peacock’s tech specs are similar to other major on-demand streaming outlets, but it only has an ad-supported paid tier in common with Hulu and CBS All Access. But, according to NBCUniversal, Peacock’s ad load is a relatively light five minutes per hour (if you believe the suits).
Shows and movies on Peacock
Peacock on-demand shows and movies
NBCUniversal’s library of TV shows and movies is deeper than you might think. It’s not just NBC shows on the TV side; it also includes cable networks USA, Syfy, Oxygen, Bravo, E!, CNBC, MSNBC, and Universal Kids.
Peacock will also feature some live news and sports, like Premier League soccer and the 2021 Olympics.
On the movies side, Peacock draws not only from NBCU brands DreamWorks, Focus Features, and Universal Pictures but also from rival Paramount, thanks to a licensing deal struck before its national launch. In non-biz terms, this means both The Godfather and the Fast & Furious franchises coexist on Peacock—whoa.
