With their larger stuff going to USA.

Which should make USA a really powerful network. Will suck for people like me that enjoy niche sports though like track and skiing.

They already moved premier league to peacock. I assume they will put all the Olympic sports on there as well

I subbed Peacock to binge Yellowstone and their app is terrible. They own some good content but even the movies have commercials.

If you are binging a sitcom the app is very annoying. It will not advance to the next episode until you finish the credits and even then it takes a bit of time.

I dunno I just have a thing against paying for a streaming service and still being forced to watch commercials.

I 100% agree with kiddoc. When The Office was on Netflix, it was so easy to lazy out and binge 4 episodes without noticing. Now on peacock, I think I've wanted 2 total episodes and have almost lost interest on the show due to the ads and inability to "binge".

Peacock is a terrible name
Commercials on a pay service is a no go for me

Thanks for the info easy decision

Luckily we're not paying for it. We get it free as part of our Xfinity internet, otherwise I wouldn't be paying either for commercials.

they still played a lot of premier league on NBSSN, so that's not a true statement.
