What a bad name no one will want to say or admit that they watch peacock. It would be better to just call it NBC Streaming. Peacock is a stupid name and this service will fail unless they re name it.

Hulu i think is a joint partnership of several networks. That's how I always understood it

No. It will fail because it's yet another goddamn streaming service nobody asked for, and there's a finite amount of eyeball-time and streaming service budget to go around.

Expecting anyone to float more than three or four streaming subs is just fantasy, and even three itself is a bit of a stretch.

Yeah NBC was only 10 or 20% owner of Hulu. Fox and ABC/Disney were 30% each and now after the buyout Disney owns the majority, I could see why NBC would want to move away from Hulu.

Yeah, NBC *may* have owned a third of it, not sure, but the other 2/3rds were Disney and Fox... and now just Disney... so its basically Disney's now.

It was said the more "mature" content from Disney/Fox would end up there, but no idea how accurate that is. They did announce a bunch of random Marvel stuff is going to be on Hulu instead of Disney + though.

When I was onboarded at Comcast they showed Hulu in the owned assets during the presentation. Didn't realize they only partially owned a minority.

Welcome back to the Cable era

So long as "sub/binge/cancel" is an option, not yet.
This is why services have been flirting with weekly episodes and content rotation.

i mean you don't think ATT and Comcast are paying attention? In time, maybe a few years from now, they'll find a way to pay each service and bundle them as one with their internet service. Just like cable. its inevitable.

This comes up every now and then, but just hasn't happened yet - apart from that one time in Poland.

because its very early on in the process. these services are just starting. they don't need help getting into homes currently, but when the subscribe/cancel rates start to balance out they'll be willing to share their subscriptions if they're getting paid to do so. There's a reason why they're already starting to dabble with weekly show releases as opposed to the all at once binge process....it forces people to stay subscribed.
