So many streaming options now. Curious to see how Peacock Originals hold up against Netflix Originals. Are you going to sign up for Peacock?

This service had me at Parks and Recreation. I'd also be curious to see how far back they go with SNL. I'd love to watch some of the older seasons again if they're available.

There's absolutely no reason for another streaming service.

The pricing model doesn't compete with Popcorn Time. ie; there is a pricing model.

@steve1215 that still exists?

I'd be really interested to see how this competes with Disney+ & Hulu, and Prime Video. Have been super impressed with Prime's extensive boxsets of binge-worthy TV, but if NBC might be moving shows like Parks & Recreation under Peacock, I may have to look again.

I think someone will wind up aggregating all of the streaming services and sell it for one price. Maybe create packages, bundled up by types of content –– or perhaps even basic & premium tiers. I'm thinking a total of charge of, say, $110 a month or so (along with equipment rental fees) plus a swift kick to the unmentionables while a terrible customer service rep whispers into your ear "you didn't really think you could just 'cut the cord' and ditch the cable industry this easily, did you?"

Love seeing this from my all time favorite media conglomerate, can't wait to see what the team comes up with!

Great, it is streaming globally or to selected countries, the reason I ask is because I’m based in UK

I love several NBC programs, and I regularly go through and “binge” old seasons. I’m so excited that the main ways of viewing this content I love are behind a new paywall, because it provides me the opportunity to show my fandom through my wallet instead of only through my viewing actions.
NoCode? No Problem
content creators and studios cost $$$ 500K+ per minute. Too rich cost, for content as a service, that now has to compete with more choices than ever. They will survive, but it will cost them, and they will have to M&A their way to finish line.
