Peacock from Comcast

87 titles have been added to NOW. Saved by the Bell '20 is on the header on my NOW Fire TV app.

To access all 87 titles on NOW, go to Entertainment, then Channels and select Peacock.

Many of the shows like Downton Abbey, Friday Night Lights and Heroes are already on other streamers.

And some shows have moved from other categories which were already on NOW.

Reminds me a bit of the Star launch line up. Interesting that they’ve got a few shows like Below Deck and Kardashians which are on Hayu, you’d think they’d avoid crossover.

Quantum Leap wasn't on NOW's VOD service before today. You could watch live on SyFy, but no catch-up or back catalogue.

Looking again today at the 'catalogue' you can see why this is being folded into Sky's services. I can't see many people signing up on a standalone basis based on this at present. I'm wondering what other content will be added going forward. What remains to be seen is whether Comcast dare, despite my considered comments, try a standalone offer.

A lot of the stuff has been on Sky channels already? Or it's on other streamers, so yeah it's not a very tempting offer on its own. I can imagine it adding an extra layer to Sky's On Demand services is enough really, they need to keep bulking up that side of things to ensure people still want a Sky/Now subscription and not just Netflix/Disney+/Prime etc

Peacock's version of the film Flight 93 is different to the copies I've seen on ITV and Mubi. They have a real time version of events with extra scenes added which I believe weren't on the cinematic version.

Relatively large promotion of Peacock content across Sky Sports this afternoon. Making aware I suspect. Nothing really 'grabs' me at present. Might for nostalgia view a couple Saved by the Bell rehashes though.

Was quite pleased to find out earlier this is also on Sky+HD boxes,. Normally this sort of thing gets added and then only to SkyQ/Glass. Here it seems to be the other way round - on Q and +HD, but not Glass (yet).

News from Peacock USA: Telemundo is launching a new hub on the American version of the service, Tplus. Available exclusively to Peacock Premium subscribers in both packs, it will feature the existing library of Telemundo originals, plus programming from sister network Universo and original series, both unscripted (including biographic profiles of Messi and J Balvin) and scripted, and both in Spanish, English and bilingually.

Yeah, Downton I assume is on Britbox and has previously been on ITV Hub. Heroes is on BBC iPlayer, having had a repeat run on BBC Two not long ago. Googling Friday Night Lights, I see a link to it on All4.
