Peacock Streaming Service Expands Offerings with New Tiers
Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, has announced the launch of three subscription tiers to cater to various viewers' preferences. Here's a breakdown of what each tier offers.
Peacock Select
This is the most affordable tier, available exclusively to existing subscribers. It offers a selection of NBC and Bravo content, such as Yellowstone, but falls short on Peacock Originals, live sports, films, and live streaming of NBC local channels.
Peacock Premium
For $10.99 per month or $109.99 annually, Peacock Premium grants access to the full Peacock content library, which includes over 80,000 hours of movies and TV shows, Peacock Originals like The Traitors, Bel-Air, and the Saved by the Bell reboot, new episodes of NBC shows the day after broadcast, and live sports such as exclusive Premier League matches. However, it is an ad-supported plan, meaning viewers will encounter ads during streaming.
Peacock Premium Plus
Priced at $16.99 per month or $169.99 annually, Peacock Premium Plus includes everything in Premium but with significant improvements. It largely removes ads except for live channels and a few exceptions, allows downloading of shows and movies for offline viewing, and provides 24/7 live streaming access to your local NBC channel.
A summary table outlines the features of each tier:
| Feature | Peacock Select | Peacock Premium | Peacock Premium Plus | |-----------------------------|------------------------|-----------------------------|--------------------------------------| | Access to full Peacock library | No | Yes | Yes | | Peacock Originals | No | Yes | Yes | | Films | No | Yes | Yes | | Live Sports | No | Yes | Yes | | New NBC episodes (day after) | Limited/No | Yes | Yes | | Ad experience | Ads present | Ads present | Mostly ad-free (except live content) | | Offline download | No | No | Yes | | Live streaming of local NBC | No | No | Yes |
For students, a special offer is available: eligible college students can subscribe to Peacock Premium for $2.99 per month for 12 months. However, students must verify their status using a third-party service.
Peacock supports up to six profiles per household and offers the option to set up kids' profiles. The subscription will auto-renew at the end of the 12 months, and students can reapply each year.
It's important to note that Peacock is not included in the 50/30/20 budget framework's "needs" category, so consider its value based on your "wants" budget and the content you might watch. Peacock is a streaming platform, meaning it requires a stable internet connection to stream content.
