Comcast has launched an early preview of the premium tier of Peacock, NBCUniversal’s new ad-supported subscription streaming service, included at no additional cost for millions of Xfinity X1 and Flex customers across the country.
The early preview will be followed by the national launch on July 15, which includes a free tier featuring more than 7,500 hours of movies and shows that will be accessible to all across mobile, web and popular connected-TV platforms.
With the majority of the country currently at home, Comcast has seen a 50 percent increase in on-demand consumption year-over-year and voice remote searches for free content up nearly 250 percent.
X1 and Flex customers can start streaming by saying “Peacock” into the Xfinity Voice Remote.
Flex customers can find Peacock movies and shows in the “New This Week” and “Free to Me” rows as well as explore content via a “Trending Now on Peacock” row.
X1 customers can also browse Peacock programming editorially integrated throughout the X1 guide, right alongside all of the live TV and on-demand shows and movies included with their Xfinity TV subscription, and other streaming services available on X1.
Peacock Premium features more than 15,000 hours of current TV shows and classics like Law & Order: SVU, 30 Rock and Friday Night Lights, movies like Jurassic Park, E.T. and Ray, and kids programming like Curious George and original animated series Where’s Waldo? and Cleopatra in Space from DreamWorks Animation. Peacock also features live and on-demand content across news, sports, reality and late night, which kicks off with exclusive early access to content from Jimmy Fallon’s The Tonight Show: At Home Edition and Late Night with Seth Meyers prior to their linear telecasts.
