How NBCUniversal's Peacock Pricing Compares With the Competition
Comcast (NASDAQ: CMCSA) will join the subscription video on demand fray in the spring with the debut of Peacock. It's already snatched up the expensive rights for The Office and it's producing several exclusive originals to launch the service. It'll be entering an increasingly crowded market that includes Netflix, Disney (NYSE: DIS), AT&T's (NYSE: T) WarnerMedia, CBS, Apple, and Amazon, among others.
It's expected that Comcast's current customers will get free access to an ad-supported version of Peacock. Whether that includes broadband-only subscribers remains to be seen. Consumers will have the option of paying for an ad-free subscription, and non-Comcast customers will also be able to pay for the ad-supported service.
The price is reportedly going to be $10 per month without ads and $5 per month with ad breaks, according to The Information's Jessica Toonkel. Here's how that pricing compares to the competition, and what it means for investors.
