It’s a make-or-break moment for Peacock.
Who’s watching Peacock? Most of the time, not enough people. Comcast’s streaming service ended the first quarter of 2024 with 34 million paying subscribers. It was the ninth-most-watched U.S. streamer, dwarfed by YouTube and Netflix, but also by Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+, and Tubi. All roughly doubled or even tripled Peacock’s viewing time in June, according to. The world is still waiting for a fiscal quarter in which Peacock does not lose hundreds of millions of dollars for Comcast.
Maybe it’s no surprise. Peacock was a grating addition to the streaming universe when it arrived in the deeply grating moment of April 2020. Its pitch revolved around sticks, not carrots. Beloved NBC shows that had been licensed elsewhere, likeon Netflix, soon came home to a platform without a great catalog. NBC was early in moving sporting events behind its paywall. The user experience was janky, with a blocky interface that felt awkward to navigate.
Despite all this, Peacock has inched up over the years. The service has made a lot of originals, some of. Time flies, and it gets easier to forget that lots of Peacock’s best stuff used to be at more popular destinations. The paywalling of major sporting events has become common, so Peacock’s exclusive NFL playoff game this January did not feel like an affront to God.
