My wife is going to force me to subscribe to 'pay Peacock'. Just because of the Days of our Lives move to that service. I told her she'd have to pony up the $20 for the year on the special they are having. I figure DOOL will be canceled by the end of that year, because I bet very few people will pay to watch it.
I just wonder if they will put the 10pm shows on Peacock since that's what they are talking about.
Possible. But the stuff I enjoy on Peacock is their supposedly Peacock Original material. Not much left on Network TV that interests me. A few, but not many.
Depends on your taste. WWE sites (and sites that promote WWE) are promoting this as get a years worth of Peacock for $20 and get all the WWE PPV's (I think they call them marquee events now).
people who don't have cable
Since I get Vudu Gift Cards with my CC points, movies are not important, specially since I prefer to watch the new ones in 4K.
Peacock Sucks!Peacock does not suck. Paramount+ delays showing replays of champions league games you can only watch live on Paramount+. That sucks!Contacted their overwhelmed chat system and was told, with no reason as to why, that the next race available on Peacock won't be until 10/8/22. No explanation why all the races (as far as I can tell) until now are there to be replayed. That sucks big time.
Color me MAD.
My guess is that NBC would just keep airing the highest-rated of their shows in a reduced 2-hr primetime block, cancel the weaker (or more expensive) ones, and use the money they save from having less NBC programming to create more Peacock Originals. But it's possible they might shift one or two NBC series over to Peacock, as they did with their last remaining daytime soap (and as ABC is doing with Dancing with the Stars moving it to Disney+ this year).
You forgot about affliates and politics..its not gonna be that easy to reduce a network schedule
Broadcast networks cancel series at the drop of a hat. That won't be a problem. And I suspect a lot of their affiliates would welcome the option to do an hour of late local news at 10/9c rather than the current half hour at 11/10c. That move would put them in direct competition with only one other local newscast, the Fox affiliate, for their late news as opposed to their current time slot competition with two other locals.
No the affliates do not want another hour to program unless you are talking about big city affliates the networks own..most small market affliates would go under if continue to lose network prigramming
