9to5Mac:

The streaming wars adds a new contender today as NBCUniversal enters the ring with Peacock, a video streaming service that wants to take on the likes of Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, and Apple TV+.

Users can sign up for free and watch 13,000 hours of content for free. Peacock features commercials on its free and $4.99 tier.

The $4.99 tier, called Peacock Premium, includes access to new original content and earlier access to programming such as the ability to watch shows like America’s Got Talent, Saturday Night Live, Law & Order, and Chicago Fire the day after they air on TV. For $4.99/month though, users will still be subjected to ads (although they appear less frequently than users on the free plan).

Peacock’s most expensive offering costs $9.99 per month, somewhat awkwardly named Peacock Premium Plus. The content offering is the same as Peacock Premium, without any ads.

Yet another streaming service launches. Will you sign up? Right now, I wouldn’t if only because there’s no content on it that I want to watch that I haven’t already seen.
