4 Things We Still Don't Know About Peacock
All eyes are on Walt Disney's (NYSE: DIS) Disney+ as it prepares for its big debut in November, but Disney+ is not the only new subscription streaming service set to drop in the near future. Far from it: a host of other streaming contenders, including Apple TV+ and AT&T's HBO Max, are on the way, too. Among the most intriguing of the coming services is the offering from Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA).
Comcast's NBCUniversal isn't quite in the same ballpark as post-merger Disney in terms of media content, but the two companies share a mode of reasoning when it comes to entering the streaming fray. Like Disney+, NBCUniversal's new streaming plan presumably exists, because NBCUniversal believes it's more profitable to own its own streaming service than to license its content to other companies like Netflix (NASDAQ: NFLX). We know the reasoning, and we know the name: Peacock. We also know that the service has a targeted launch date some time in April 2020. But we're still missing key details.
