    Peacock Shows

    With Peacock and Vudu both being owned by NBCUniversal/Comcast, it would be nice if we could get some of the Peacock exclusives and shows their service offers, for sale on Vudu. I may not always want to sub to Peacock and would still like to have the shows I'm interested in, to watch - like One of Us Is Lying, Sanford and Son, The Munsters, Southern Baptist Sissies...

    I've been thinking that perhaps they may be thinking in the other direction - to merge vudu into Peacock.

        Actually Fandango is owned by Comcast, via NBCUniversal (75%) and Warner Bros. Discovery (25%) so I don't know if this complicates things.

        Then we have the whole HBOmax becoming MAX and dropping lots of titles during the process.

        Things are getting too complicated and messy lately.

        Last time I signed up to Peacock (still current) it was $19.99 for 12 months. For $1.67 I couldn't say no. I would never pay full price for Peacock. The feature film releases are the biggest drawn for me. HBOmax, followed by Disney+ are my main choices.

        Hint for streaming services look for Black Friday deals starting in November. I was paying 99c/mth for Hulu and now I'm paying $4.66 for Hulu AND Disney+ for a BF 12-month deal. Paramount+ is my most expensive $4.17/mth but there a deal half that a month after I paid for the annual.

          My thinking was based off of the free ad based level of Peacock so there is zero sticker shock to the consumer.

          So in essence remaining a free with ads platform that adds in Vudu free with ads tv and films. Plus the ability to purchase and rent most content. And then a subscription based level with exclusive content. An all in one platform that would stand out from others. And all that marketing spend driving folks to one platform.

          As far as ownership the biggest mess I know of is Hulu and that is not stopping Disney from merging it with Disney plus.

            But in general the word around town is the streamers are already maxed out in the USA so there really are no more dollars to grab easily.

            The big 3 at the moment seem to be Netflix, Disney plus, and hbo max in that order. The rest are fighting hard for the scraps.

            Free with ads is a growing trend (or heavily discounted with ads) as folks are containing their streaming expenditures.

            Hope to see Peacock fully capitalize on that.

            I also can see that as a road forward for Movies Anywhere. Right now it is mostly a destination to redeem codes but it could be more.

            I can see studios placing free with ads Movies there and Using the view revenue to offset their cost to have their MA membership which I know is quite high.

            Movies Anywhere gets traffic for movie playback tech they already have and studios can potentially use catalog product drastically cut their membership cost if not profit. I see this as a win win.

            Plus a potential road forward for hold off studios Paramount, Lions gate, and Mgm who likely are baulking at those high fees. Plus also a road forward for TV Anywhere....

              But they are bundling the two, and at a Discount. And you no longer have to get ESPN as well if you want to bundle. I’m glad they offer the Hulu and Disney+ offer these days as I hate ESPN and didn’t get the bundle with it out of principal.

              I think Disneys long term plan is to buy it outright and own the whole thing.

                Yes Disney+ has been loosing left and right lately. I could go into the reasons but there’s too many. Disney is going to (already has?) a commercial support plan. But then they raised prices (again) before announcing the ad support s plan so at a minimum they make the same amount of total money. At the pain there are no Black Friday or bundle deals for Disney+ I’m going to cancel myself. Maybe I’ll just subscribe for one or two months a year binge. But seems like Disney (along others) have announced they will cycle through the content regularly as it seems they have caught on to that life hack and thus make it harder to only pay for a couple months a year and binge instead of paying every month. Disney is going insane. I’ve seen them raise prices on pretty much everything. I go to the park every week or two and I pretty much expect higher prices with each visit.
