Aside from NBC’s classic and recent TV series, it will also launch reboots of its past shows, which include Saved by the Bell, Battlestar Galactica, and Punky Brewster. Access to these is planned to be limited to Peacock subscribers only.

Saturday Night Live will also be available – all 44 seasons of the late-night live television sketch comedy show. This means you can watch the original 1975 cast and the rest of its 153 cast members to date.

Late-night shows such as The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon and Late Night with Seth Meyers are also available for Peacock Premium subscribers a few hours before they debut on NBC.

Movies

For the first year of Peacock, viewers will also be treated to more than 600 movies produced by Illumination, DreamWorks and Universal such as Jurassic Park, American Pie, Jaws, E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, and franchises such as Jason Bourne, Fast and Furious series and Shrek.

News

Peacock offers news content from CNBC, MSNBC, Sky News, NBC News Now, and same-day broadcasts of shows by Lester Holt and Chuck Todd.

It will also feature a new channel, NBC Sky World News, Comcast’s English-language channel scheduled to go live this summer.

Clips from Today, MSNBC, E! News, Meet the Press, NBC Nightly News and CNBC will also be available.

Sports

The 2020 Tokyo Summer Olympics will be broadcast live by NBC and will be available on Peacock.

On August 25, the Tokyo Paralympics will also get exclusive coverage on Peacock.

Soccer fans will also be treated to Premier League events too.

Plus, curated genre channels will also be available such as SNL Vault, Olympic Profiles, and Family Movie Night.

How Much Does Peacock Cost?

Peacock is available in three packages.

Peacock Free

As its name implies, is offered at no cost to US-based subscribers. They can access up to 7,500 hours of programming.

New episodes of NBC shows will be broadcast the following day.

Included in this tier are NBC’s classic TV shows, sports and news programming, and a selection of Spanish-language shows from Telemundo.

Subscribers will also be treated to Peacocks’ upcoming original shows but will be limited to a few episodes only.

This package is ad-supported but NBC has announced that only 5 minutes of ads will be shown for every hour of programming.

Peacock Premium

This plan comes at no charge for Comcast and Cox cable TV subscribers to access more than 15,000 hours of content.

However, this package is ad-supported so if they want to get rid of the ads, users can pay $4.99 per month.

Then there is Peacock Premium Plus for $9.99/month which includes all of Peacock Premium’s features without the ads.

As mentioned previously, you will notice there are 7-Day Free Trials available for both of the premium plans.

What Type of User Interface will Peacock TV Feature?

Peacock TV users will be able to search for content in three ways: Channels, Trending, and Browse sections.

You will also notice the different categories available which include TV Shows, Movies, Kids, News, Sports, and Latino.

As they scroll through each program, a live video will automatically play in the background.

In the Channels section, an EPG will be displayed that can make it easier for them to navigate through different channels.

The Trending section presents clips from sports, TV shows, and other content.

Finally, in the Browse section, users will be able to view two rows: Continue Watching and Watchlist.

The former displays thumbnails of past shows they’ve watched and a bar that indicates where they’ve left off.

For Watchlist, recommendations are displayed based on Comcast’s advanced machine learning algorithms.

If you own a supported device, I suggest giving this new streaming app a try today!
