I'm curious where this information has come from. Thanks.

Yep. I can't find anything saying that (though I'm not saying I disbelieve it) but given that's this coming Tuesday, is there a press release or announcement on its way shortly or under embargo?

It's true - been thusly informed in a closed forum. Not on Sky Glass (yet)only Sky + and Q

[lettice]

As above, we have been informed in our closed forums.

It will arrive Tuesday November 16th on Sky Q, Sky+ and Sky Go
If you are thinking its an app, think again...

Will arrive on Sky Glass later.

Hope everyone is ready for the "It's not fair", "Glass customers are losing out, we pay more" etc etc.....

So (given the Sky+ availability) I would be somewhat safe to assume Peacock is being added as a hub/channel brand to the existing on demand service? And therefore it'll be content that is downloaded to planners? 

For me how Peacock would be integrated has been the biggest question given the US service was itself built on Sky/Now platforms so hoping that question can now be answered?

Personally speaking I was hoping that would be the case - didn't really see how another app made sense for what is a sibling service - and one that built off the back of Sky's tech platforms - so integrating into the Sky Box Set/VOD platform proper seems to make more sense and might also drive more people towards the content itself rather than giving them an app most customers may know nothing about.

I can imagine Glass customers being unhappy initially but I also imagine as a streaming product, there may be a different strategy for those customers, especially in terms of driving ad revenue and opportunities for upselling an ad-free option.

What about Paramount+ & Apple TV+.

Still no ad free ITV Hub+, All4+ nor My5.

the versions of these apps should be on Glass too so they don't have their substandard service even worse by having the advert heavy terrible picture versions they are enduring at the moment!!!!

Not an app? Why? That seems (IMHO) a bad idea knowing how many are having trouble downloading. I would prefer the Peacock app.

Well if it was an app then neither Sky + or Sky Go could use it.

But it could be an app Sky Q, website for computers, an app for iOS/Android, an a TV app for the major brands. There already is an appfor the US Peacock. Why not make a UK Peacock website and modify the US app to run with the UK content.
