In addition to TV shows and movies, there is a solid lineup of sports content on Peacock as well. Peacock was the streaming home of the 2020 Summer Olympics in Japan (held in 2021 due to the Covid-19 pandemic), and it is planning to cover the 2022 Winter Olympics as well in February.

Soccer fans can also look forward to watching over 2,000 hours of Premier League games, including many games that are not shown on regular TV. The service will include live streaming of other sporting events, including PGA golf tournaments. It’s also the home for several live sports talk shows, including The Rich Eisen Show, The Dan Patrick Show, and PFT Live With Mike Florio.

As for news, NBC News shows like NBC Nightly News, the Today Show, and Meet the Press can be watched on Peacock. You can also stream shows from the MSNBC cable news channel, as well as the NBC News Now service for up-to-the-minute news.

Peacock is also the exclusive home to The Amber Ruffin Show. Ruffin, a writer, and performer on Late Night With Seth Myers is the host of this show. She offers her thoughts on the week’s news through comedy, sketches, and more.

The current list of Peacock Originals is getting better. That list will grow with its upcoming shows. NBCUniversal has the rights to bring back and reimagine hit series from the past like Fresh Prince and Battlestar Galactica.

Here’s a list of what to expect from the service in the near future:

  • Angelyne —  A limited series starring Emmy Rossum based on the true story of the woman featured on a long-standing billboard in Hollywood.
  • Armas de Mujer — A new Spanish-language dramedy series from the makers of La Reina del Sur.
  • Battlestar Galactica — The second reboot of the 1978 space-based sci-fi TV show will be headed by Sam Esmail, who created the acclaimed TV series Mr. Robot.
  • Straight Talk — A comedy co-created by Rashida Jones and Jada Pinkett Smith.

Peacock works just like other streaming services, although only in the United States. You just log into the platform or open the app on your phone, then select the content you want to watch. Peacocktv.com/tv

The video files themselves are kept on a remote server and streamed directly to your device. There are no official details as to how much data is consumed while streaming, but based on other platforms you can expect to use around 3GB per hour of streaming in HD.

Using the name Peacock as the label for the NBCUniversal streaming service is a nod to the early days of television. As the 1960s began, most TV shows were still broadcast in black and white. However, the NBC TV network was, at the time, owned by the electronics product maker RCA, and it wanted consumers to purchase its new color televisions. Peacocktv.com/tv

To encourage this, Forward.com reports that RCA commissioned a new NBC logo that would play in front of its shows, showing a stylized peacock that showed off all of the primary and secondary colors in its “feathers.” The logo for the new Peacock streaming service still has the same colors featured in the old NBC logo as dots on the right side.
