The full NBC Peacock TV is expected on July 15 and will be exlusive to the USA fow now, but Sky customers in the U.K. are supposed to get Peacock eventually. Peacock is great for watching classic TV, and we were delighted by how Xfinity customers get Peacock Premium for free. The lack of originals and a sparse "trending" section made it feel a little hollow. The Peacock has advertisement 5 minutes per hour at the most.
Comcast subscribers getting Peacock between April 15 and July 15 are getting the ad-supported version of Peacock Premium, with an option to pay more to upgrade.
Peacock Free: The free and ad-supported streaming service will house 7,500 hours of programming. That includes next day access to current seasons of freshman broadcast series; select episodes of marquee Peacock originals and tent-pole series; complete classic series; popular movies; curated daily news and sports programming such as the Olympics; and Spanish-language content. Peacock's free streaming service will also feature genre channels such as "SNL Vault," Family Movie Night” and “Olympic Profiles.”
Peacock Premium: Those participating now will either get the Peacock Premium for free (with ads) via their Comcast subscription, or pay $5 per month to remove those ads. Peacock Premium will cost $4.99 per month if you don't have Comcast, and those subscribers will pay $9.99 per month to get Peacock Premium without ads.
Both tiers will have access to 15,000 hours of programming, including next-day streaming of all current broadcast shows; full seasons of originals like Mindy Kaling’s Expecting and Sam Esmail’s Battlestar Galactica reboot; early streaming of NBC’s late-night lineup. Once live sports (including Premiere League football and the Olympics) are back, they'll be on both tiers.
NBC Peacock TV apps and supported devices
Peacock is available within Comcast devices including X1 and Flex hardware. After July 15, Peacock is expected to fly to all the popular streaming devices. On June 23, NBCUniversal added Android, Android TV and Chromecast to the list of devices that will be supported on day 1. Plus, Android and Android TV users get free Peacock Premium until Oct. 15, 2020.
NBC Peacock TV shows
Peacock will start off by offering lots from the library of NBC and its sister networks' classic shows. That includes beloved sitcoms like Parks and Recreation and 30 Rock, as well as Saturday Night Live, and Cheers. There's also a lot of older programming for going retro, including The Johnny Carson Show, The Carol Burnett Show and The Greatest American Hero. You also get a ton of Law & Order shows in a strong mix of drama programming that includes Friday Night Lights, House and Battlestar Galactica (the original, not the upcoming series). Also Parenthood and Monk, as well as other older shows such as Murder She Wrote, Columbo and The Rockford Files. Reality TV is getting space on Peacock, bringing The Real Housewives of Dallas, Bethenny Ever After, Kourtney & Kim Take New York, Very Cavallari and WAGS (and many more) to the streaming service.
