The original thread on this has been archived, but Peacock launched just over a week ago. It's only available in the US, and the website doesn't even work in the UK. There are two types of content:
1) On-demand programmes and movies.
2) Linear streaming channels (very similar to Pluto TV), including...
- NBC News Now (live programming from 3pm ET, preceded by loop of Early Today and then Today Show news reports)
- Today All Day (highlights of mainly the lifestyle bits of Today)
- SNL Vault (classic Saturday Night Live)
- Fallon Tonight (Tonight Show highlights)
- Hell's Kitchen (whole episodes)
- Pet Collective
- NatureVision TV
- Sky News
There seems to be quite a lot of free content (all the linear channels and quite a few on-demand shows and movies), but you get more if you subscribe.
The mix of streaming and on-demand certainly makes it different from the likes of Netflix and Amazon Prime. This is more like a free/budget version of Hulu, without any mainstream streaming channels.
Neither of the two levels of subscription ($4.99 or $9.99) gives you any of NBC's network or cable channels like CNBC, MSNBC or NBC Sports Network, which are available through other online subscription services.
