That's correct - the content is very limited.

It's 'free' though.

hi @Tommy19991

Any media reporting shows on Peacock are usually referring to Peacok in the US where it is an established channel

Probably worth having a scan at this:

Being 'free', it's literally worth nothing; )

I've speculated elsewhere that we may be seeing the result of Comcast boardroom shenanigans: the NBCU division is bigger and longer established than the Sky Group division, and so Peacock might be a somewhat unwanted presence here.

As @nigea99 indicates it essentially has no real comparison with Peacock in the US, which is a fully fledged subscription service with sports rights (including Premier League) and access to NBC television and Universal Studios new releases and extensive back catalogues.

Kind of scandalous they use energy, and therefore generate a bit more co2, bothering to transmit that "content".

@Chodley

Certainly not exactly an outstanding line-up: three ongoing 'reality' TV series, one comedy and one drama, plus seven cancelled or otherwise ended titles, the longest-running of which was last made* nearly twenty years ago....

*everyone knows the restart doesn't count ; )

Oh, I'd also note that the three ongoing reality franchises seem to be missing all their more recent seasons.
