After millions of people ditched their cable packages for more a la carte streaming options, a new analysis is now claiming that cable is actually cheaper, on average, than the average person’s array of streaming services. According to an analysis in the Financial Times, thanks to price increases for subscriptions to Apple TV+, Max, Disney+, and Hulu, among others, streaming subscriptions now cost an average of $87/mo, compared to the equivalent cable package, which costs $83/mo.

This new analysis comes amid an array of bad news for streaming services, which have seen their stock valuations tumble due to stalled subscriber growth and growing concerns about whether they will ever be able to turn a profit.

Services like Netflix have also started introducing ad-supported tiers that adopt, at least in part, the model of traditional linear television and port it over into the streaming era. Crucially, though, all of these services have also started to raise their prices, in some cases quite substantially. Disney+, for example, raised their price from $7.99 to $10.99 and then again to $13.99, all in less than a single calendar year.

Although it’s undeniable that streaming services have grown more expensive in recent years, it’s certainly not the case that any combination of streaming services is going to be cheaper or more expensive than traditional cable. For one thing, cable costs can vary pretty wildly depending on what region of the country you live in (and numerous other factors), whereas streaming costs are the same for everyone in the same tier. For another, you can choose which streaming services to subscribe to, which allows you to choose which costs you incur. Cable has some selectivity, but the base costs are always much higher than they are with streamers.

As a result, it’s not really fair to say that streaming is always the more expensive option, although it’s now true that it can be the more expensive option. If you’re the kind of person who has trouble managing subscriptions and gets charged for services you never or rarely use, then the streaming era may even be costing you substantially more than you would have paid before.

Although we saw a definitive streaming boom in the second half of the 2010s and early part of the 2020s, it seems like we are now past the point of peak streaming services. Some are realizing that streaming’s costs were too high to ever be paid by subscription fees alone, and that remains true even as those fees increase.

At the same time, streaming services are slowly becoming more and more like linear television, adding ads and relying more heavily on shows that are cheaper to produce, including plenty of reality TV. Although it may not always be more expensive than cable, streaming no longer looks as much like the future of TV as it once did.

Peacock TV is NBC’s streaming service. The Peacock service has thousands of hours of on demand content, includes live national channels, and gives you your local NBC station. Fortunately, for all the content it gives, Peacock TV also happens to be one of the more affordable streaming services. However, before you shell out the first dollar, it only makes sense to check if there is a Peacocktv.com/tv free trial and to search for how to get the best deals on the service. Here, we take a look at all of Peacock TV’s active plans, free trial promotions, and possible bulk discounts.

Unfortunately there is no Peacock TV free trial. Peacock used to have a free tier that gave you access to around 10,000 hours of content absolutely free. You didn’t need a credit card or anything to sign up. The only downside was a bunch of ads. But it provided a way to check out the service for free while you considered whether or not you wanted to buy it. Peacock has removed this tier, so in order to access the service at all you will have to pay at least $6 for the Peacock Premium subscription. While it’s unfortunate that you can’t try out the service with no money down, you might as well wait until you get the urge to watch The Office again, then pay $6 and binge the whole show in a month while you check out what other services Peacock has to offer.

Peacock TV is very cheap. The basic Peacock Premium plan is only $6 per month. Meanwhile, the Peacock Plus plan, which ads local TV and removes ads, is $12 per month. And, while it is not a Peacock TV free trial, you can also opt to pay for 10 months in one lump sum (on either plan) and Peacock will give you the remaining two months of the year for free.

Peacock is not free with Amazon Prime. Not only that, but you cannot stream Peacock through Prime like you can with Max, AMC+ and many other streaming services. NBC has decided to keep Peacock completely independent from Amazon. If you have an Amazon TV, you can still download the Peacock app and stream it through there, but you can’t bundle the service under one monthly bill.

The cheapest way to get Peacock.com/tv Premium is by using a student discount. Right now there are no Peacock deals that cut the price of the service for your average consumer. The Chromecast deal we mentioned above and the $1 promo below have ended. But if you’re a student, you can get Peacock Premium for only $2 per month — as long as you stay a student. Peacock will ask you to verify that you’re still a student once per year. If you stop being a student, the price will raise to whatever Peacock is charging at the time, which is $6 per month right now.

Like with the Apple App Store and Google Play Store, if you signed up for your Peacock account via a third-party service, another website or on a streaming device, you will need to cancel in the same place, not on the Peacock website. 

For example, if you subscribed to Peacocktv.com/tv on Roku, you can cancel your subscription on your Roku streaming device or the Roku website. The steps for Roku’s website are: 

1. Go to my.roku.com and sign in 
2. Go to “manage your subscriptions”
3. Find Peacock in the channels list
4. Select “unsubscribe” 

If you cancel your Peacock subscription, you will no longer be charged once your current billing cycle ends. Unfortunately, Peacock will not refund you for payments you have already made. According to Peacock’s refund policy, it does not typically offer refunds. If it does, it’s at the service’s discretion. 

Yes. If you kept the free version of Peacock, you can go to “plans and payment” in your account and upgrade to a paid subscription. If you deleted your Peacock account, you’ll need to set up a new account to resubscribe. 

You cannot delete your Peacock account via your account settings. To request deletion, you have to contact Peacock’s parent company, NBC. Follow these steps to contact NBC. 

1. Go to NBC’s Privacy Policy

   Navigate to NBC’s privacy policy on the NBC website.

   
2. Go to “Your Rights”

   Scroll down to “your rights.” There, you will find email addresses for deletion requests inside and outside the U.S.

   
3. Get in Touch With Peacock (Optional)

   If you need extra help, click “get in touch” in Peacock.com/tv

   

Peacock has continued its fresh take on the horror genre, as they are fully ready to release their next horror original, “Sick,” whose trailer for the pandemic horror film “Sick” was released on Friday, January 6, 2023, on their YouTube channel. After Peacock’s recent release of Halloween Ends, the pandemic-based horror film “Sick” also promises to be a great watch.

After their October 2022 release of the horror film “Halloween Ends,” the America-based video streaming service, which is owned by the Television and Streaming division of NBCUniversal ( Peacocktv.com/tv ) , has gone deeper into the world of horror originals with the pandemic horror film “Sick,” starring Gideon Adlon.

As the name of the movie suggests, “Sick” is a horror film themed in the age of social distancing and virus awareness. The film makes itself different from the rest by attaching all strings while taking place in April 2020. Due to the theme of the social distancing era, face masks and quarantines play a really important role in the film set by strongly implanting themselves as a period piece during one of the most life-changing times in recent memory.

The star cast of the pandemic horror film “Sick” includes Gideon Adlon as Parker, Bethlehem Million as Miri, Marc Menchaca as Jason, Dylan Sprayberry as DJ, Jane Adams as Pamela, Charla Bocchicchio as Parker’s mom, Logan Murphy as Benji, and Duane Stephens as Mr. Lyons.

The movie was co-written by Katelyn Crabb and Kevin Williamson, who is best known for being the writer of iconic films like Scream and I Know What You Did Last Summer. The film was directed by popular director John Hyams, and it premiered at TIFF and was later screened at Fantastic Fest, in Philadelphia, Chicago, and Oldenburg.

Peacock’s pandemic-based horror film “Sick” was initially premiered in 2022. Toronto Film Festival and the Fantastic Fest The movie was a huge hit at both festivals, but it is still going to skip theaters and will be released on Peacock’s streaming service. The pandemic horror film will be streaming online starting Friday, January 13, 2023, and all fans of the horror genre are really curious to watch the movie after the exciting trailer.

In the opening moments of the trailer, we get a brief glimpse at what’s about to happen: a good sunny day on a lake is upended as night falls, and a figure shrouded in darkness pursues a fleeing trio. A knife flash, a panicked face, and a ramp-up of intense music lead to the movie’s title card.

Following this, we see a pair of women, who are Parker and Miri, both excitedly packing for a springtime trip. As the two reach their destination, a luxurious cabin in the middle of the woods, they enjoy a fun day of winding down. Frozen pizzas and a quick swim start a relaxing time for them away from the troubles of the world. The first night of their trip arrives, and an unexpected visitor makes their first appearance, who appears to be an old friend, DJ. He stops with them to join the duo, questioning their intentions of quarantining alone. The trio makes the most of their time by partying, as DJ goes outside to grab something from his car. In leaving the cabin door open, however, a stiff, shadowy figure wanders inside.

Looking at Sick’s trailer, the movie looks to be a slasher that takes advantage of its unique setting in multiple ways. If the film retains even half of the effort put into its trailer, we can expect a really solid start to Peacock’s video streaming service by mid-January.

As soon as the video streaming service Peacock.com/tv released the trailer of the pandemic horror film “Sick,” netizens have been excited about the release of the film and are talking about it across different social media platforms. 

Following the trailer release of Peacock’s pandemic horror film “Sick,” podcaster Josh At The Movies shared a tweet on his official Twitter handle, @PoisonKeyblade. It reads, “Horror in 2023 is already off to a great start. “Sick” is a fantastic modern slasher that holds up a mirror to the carelessness of youth. As many other people have already said, it’s like a long chase scene in the best way possible. Another great horror gem from Kevin Williamson!”

Is an event really an event without entertainment? Even family get-togethers often include a storyteller or a funny relative who keeps everyone entertained. While keeping guests entertained is likely a top priority for your corporate event, there are additional benefits to hiring quality entertainment.

First, if you choose a performer or act that has name recognition or evokes excitement in your attendees, you’ll build buzz before the event even starts. Even if your budget doesn’t allow for a big name entertainer, if you market correctly and hype up this element of your event, you’ll have your attendees’ attention.

Next, if you choose the right entertainment, it can reinforce your vision or brand. It bears repeating (and we repeat it often because it’s so important) that outlining the goal for your event gives every single element (from swag bags and speakers to venue and entertainment) purpose and direction. Consider what your message is and what kind/style of entertainment would best fit your brand, message, and purpose. A performer who doesn’t strike the right note (pardon the pun) can leave your guests with a negative impression.

Finally, one of the goals of your corporate event is to influence your guests, leaving a lasting impression they’ll talk about for weeks after. The word of mouth buzz from show-stopping entertainment can be invaluable.

Planning a successful event involves hiring the best of everything: caterers, organizers, decorations, and most importantly, the entertainment. While the venue may be stunning and the food may be delicious, your guests won’t have a reason to stick around unless there’s something to look forward to—which is where entertainment saves the day.

Canvassing the right entertainment options can seem incredibly challenging. It may be tempting to use a playlist the entire time, but while that may add to your event’s ambiance, it won’t be compelling enough for your guests to stay. You may also feel inclined to hire the first act you find just to put the matter behind you, but the event’s entertainment will ultimately spell the difference between guests slipping out early or demanding an encore. Here are three tips to keep in mind when hiring entertainment for your event:

Before you start trawling the Internet for possible entertainment picks and book an artist for a party in Texas, you’ll need to decide on the kind of band or act you want to hire. Think about the entertainment that will work best for your venue and your guests. You wouldn’t want a rock and roll band to excite a crowd at a fancy dress party, after all.

Your attendees will ultimately determine the best entertainment for the event, so think about their tastes, preferences, ages, and expectations. If they’re all in their 30s, then you can consider hiring a band that specializes in 80s and 90s classics. Otherwise, you may end up alienating them by focusing on all the latest music that’s been making waves on TikTok. 

Most evening events benefit from professional live bands who know how to entertain diverse crowds. They also have an incredibly expansive repertoire, which means they can perform just about any song request.

Some people may cringe at the thought of hiring event bands because of the old stereotypes of function bands in sequined suits. However, the event band industry is rapidly growing, as it also draws in promising young musicians with burgeoning careers. Who knows—you might be booking the next big thing!

Another significant part of hiring event bands is that the competition has become remarkably stiff, which means you won’t have trouble finding musicians who offer something unique. You also won’t have difficulty finding ones who can stick to a particular genre, whether it’s folk, jazz, or New Orleans style brass. 

If that sounds all doable to you, but you still don’t know where to start, then you should consider hiring an event booking agency! These professionals are experts in finding the right acts to match your event, saving you hours from seemingly endless searches on Google. They’re well-connected to performers who arrive on time, conduct themselves professionally and woo the crowd wonderfully.

Working with a live entertainment agency in Texas means that you’ll have access to experts who know the best way to plan your event and entertain your attendees. They’re seasoned professionals in both the event booking and live entertainment industries, which means they’ll know where the best venues are, where to get concert sound equipment, and whom to hire. They also maintain a steady communication line, ensuring they answer every single question you ask.
