NBCUniversal’s Peacock noted that local streams will be automatically geotargeted and available on the Peacock homepage, delivered as it would appear in a traditional broadcast experience.  The move adds live local NBC affiliate content to Peacock’s on-demand offering and could entice subscribers to bump up to the premium tier. Peacock’s Premium Plus ad-free tier costs $9.99 per month, while its base paid plan (called Premium) with limited ads costs $4.99 per month.
