Now that WWE Network is shutting down and NBCUniversal has grabbed the full catalog for its new streaming service, someone has a lot of work ahead of them. Peacock, according to a new report, is scanning the full wrestling video library to find and edit out racist content, of which there is a fairly substantial amount.
Massively popular sitcom The Office made the transition from Netflix to Peacock earlier this year, much to the dismay of fans. Peacock is a three-tier streaming platform, offering free access to some content, as well as two premium plans -- and you must sign up for one of the paid plans to get access to The Office. That has changed, but only for this week.
Back in January, the WWE and NBC made a rather surprising announcement by revealing that the WWE Network would become an exclusive offering on Peacock. Today, we're getting a date for that transition, as well as a date for when standalone WWE Network subscribers are going to have to make the switch if they want to keep watching. Yes indeed, it seems that WWE Network subscribers are going to have to sign up for Peacock Premium if they want to keep their subscriptions to the WWE Network.
If you're a pro wrestling fan, you might want to consider signing up for NBC's streaming service Peacock, as it'll be the only place to stream content from the WWE Network in a couple of months. Today, NBC and the WWE announced that Peacock will be the given exclusive rights to WWE Network content, including access to pay-per-view events and even the WWE Network archive.
Hit sitcom The Office is now exclusively available to stream on the service Peacock, which has decided to center its pricing around whether you want full access to the show. Though Peacock continues to have a 'free' tier, it only provides access to the first two seasons of The Office, limiting the remaining seasons to paying subscribers.
Months after officially opening to the public, Roku has finally settled a deal that will bring NBCUniversal's streaming service Peacock to its platform, the company has announced. The news comes only days after the negotiations entered a more heated phase, with Roku and Comcast dragging their drama into the public light alongside the threat of Roku's platform entirely losing NBC TV apps.
NBC's newly launched Peacock streaming service will be the destination for Clueless, a reboot of the '90s TV show by the same name. The show itself comes from CBS TV Studios and we've known about it since last year. Though the show has been in development for several months, that work took place without any particular network attached to air the television show. Now that has changed.
There are already dozens of video streaming services, big and small, so why not add one more? Months perhaps even years in the making, NBCUniversal's streaming service, fittingly called "Peacock", has finally launched to the public, surprisingly right on schedule despite the ongoing pandemic. Boasting more than 20,000 hours of programming in total on all tiers, the Peacock app will be available on a wide range of devices, except on two that may matter the most.
For weeks, NBCUniversal has been slowly revealing new details and launch platforms for its incoming streaming service Peacock. The service's global launch is tomorrow, and it turns out that NBC has struck a distribution agreement with Sony that will see Peacock come to PlayStation consoles. However, those of you using a PlayStation 4 as your primary media box will have to wait a few days longer than those on other platforms, as Peacock won't be available on PS4 right away.
With Peacock's launch date quickly approaching, NBCUniversal continues to trickle release information about the streaming service. Today, NBC announced that Peacock will be home to a lot of NBC Sports Premier League coverage when it launches on July 15th. This seems to be a one-day-only promo meant to give those exploring the service a taste of NBC Sports' soccer coverage.
Slowly but surely, NBCUniversal has been announcing its launch plans for its streaming service, Peacock. Strangely, the company seems to be making these announcements on a platform-by-platform basis. Last month, it told us when we can expect Peacock on Apple and Xbox devices, and today we're learning that it will also be coming to various Google platforms as well.
The film 'Trolls World Tour' changed the way movies were released to the public, and AMC isn't happy about it. As the world dropped into quarantine, Comcast Corp.'s Universal Pictures decided to modify the way in which the new Trolls movie was delivered. Instead of an "only in theaters" release on April 10, or a postponing of release, Universal Pictures sent the film to digital rental platforms. The results were massively positive.
