Peacock on Roku |
Peacock, a streaming app
from Comcast-owned NBCUniversal, offers thousands of hours of free programming,
as well as extra shows, movies and originals if you're willing to pay for a
subscription. Peacock has a seven-day free trial for its premium tiers, and if
you sign up through a Google platform like Android, you can get an extended
free period. And, finally, you can stream Peacock on Roku devices, after a more
than two-month absence from one of the most popular steaming platforms in the
country. Numerous mobile and TV devices support Peacock, but at launch in July,
Peacock wasn't available on Roku. The two sides reached a deal Friday to
deliver the Peacock app to Roku TVs and streamers in the coming weeks, ending
the impasse and leaving Amazon's Fire TV platform as the only major platform
without Peacock. Meanwhile HBO Max, another new streaming service, still hasn't
reached any deal with either Roku or Fire TV. Peacock is an American
over-the-top subscription video on demand streaming service owned service owned
and operated b+y the Television and Streaming division of NBCUniversal, a
subsidiary of comcast. Named after the logo of NBC, the service launched on
july 15, 2020. Early availability for Xfinity Flex customers began on April 15,
2020, eitj X1 customers receiving the preview by May 1. as of September 2020,
Peacock has over 15 million customers. Competing with HBO Max as well as
Netflix, Disney Plus, Hulu and others, Peacock is the last big new service
going live in the flood of launches from tech and media giants over the last
year. Technically, Peacock launched in a limited "sneak peek" in
mid-April for some Comcast customers. But the nationwide launch in mid-July
widened the service to anyone in the US who wants to watch it, and Peacock's first
original shows and movies dropped then too. Peacock has a catalog of more than
20,000 hours of shows, movies, news, sports, curated channels, trending
highlights and exclusive big-budget original programming.
