they just need to put everything they own up in HD and then everything will be great

theyre just going to have to start licensing out all of their shows again to stop the bleeding. i think the service will stick around though.

That would be the smart thing to do.
What's even more valuable for them is all the consumer data they are getting from having their own streaming service. They know who you are, your viewing habits, etc... They can use that to price ads and put a price on content.
Peacock's original network-styled sitcoms have been legitimately good and that's a bit of a void with the streamers at the moment- Netflix throws a couple out a year and Hulu just tried with HIMYF, but none of them have really hit. Wish they would go all in there but I don't know if you can just be the sitcom and soccer streamer though. It also doesn't help that they didn't go all in like Warner/Disney did and still have content licensed out.
God, that adaptation... My favorite part was when they kept teasing the big nude scene for Findlay like it was the shark in Jaws.

I fully believe that had Steve Jobs not died, he would have been able to wrangle all the content providers together under a central Apple streaming network. But instead we now have cable 2.0. Actually it's worse than cable as the distribution companies are now making their own content and their own streaming plans. It's like a bunch of medieval nation states that are all warring with each other.
I highly, highly recommend Girls5eva and the Saved by the Bell reboot. Both are legitimately great and deserve better than to be stranded on the Cock.
I get it for free and I'm genuinely unsure if I've watched it besides some Universal Monster movies last October and the Psych movies/series. I kinda over did it on the NBC sitcom binges and re-binges over the years so I haven't gone back for them, and they don't seem to have as good a movie selection as the other streamers I have.
Comcast can try for another couple of years, but Peacock to me seems to be better as a niche service for Xfinity users as a value add. It won't compete with the big players unless they buy another major content player like SPE or ViacomCBS.
Comcast would be better served getting 100MM per year for that show like Sony is getting for Seinfeld from Netflix.

Not surprising honestly, Peacock is probably the worst out of all the big name streaming services. No real marketing and not enough big exclusives to make itself worthwhile.
Paramount+ may be a laughing stock, but at least that's gotten some marketing, has quite a few really good exclusives and also has a diverse range of content. I can actually see that one being much more sustainable
That being said, I think Paramount will grow a lot due to 1883, Halo and other exclusives they have in the works...

Yellowstone is currently a Peacock exclusive actually...

Yeah, but Netflix was also growing at a pretty decent rate and was the first in an untapped market. Peacock is to little, to late.
Did it? Show me.

Time to fast track that Nintendo Universal Story (NUS) that was supposed to begin with the Mario movie.
True, but then there is always the opportunity to try and 'goose the numbers' by folding the entirety of the Sky numbers into the larger global numbers, "We now have 70 million plus global users!".
Note users rather than paying subs.
If I had Comcast's ear this is what I would tell them, at this point they are just throwing good money after bad because they have to be seen (by Wall Street) to be in the streaming game and now that they are doing badly they have to be seen to be trying to fix it.
And once again I have to point out the profound idiocy of naming your premium streaming platform after the FREE service you've been providing to people for literally decades. Madness.
I second this emotion.
That is a deep pull but I agree. They did jump into this whole streaming game with the same half hearted energy that they launched Seeso with. Looking back Seeso was essentially a paid Youtube comedy channel that was supposed to be all things to all people within Comcast. Bizarre.

Whoops, Peacock added no new paid subscribers over the last quarter
Without a Super Bowl or Olympics to goose growth, Peacock had itself a very flat Q2

Not surprising. My internet provider kept trying to give it to me for free, but there's nothing on it I want to see. And I didn't want to forget to cancel and then start getting charged. So just noped.

They also lost $467 million on Peacock this quarter:

Parent company Comcast says the broadband subscriber base at its cable systems business was also "flat" amid a slowdown in growth momentum across the cable industry.

I got an offer through mail from them for like 6 months of Peacock premium at 99 cents a month. Well I obviously tried to sub, but turns out they accept no credit cards from outside the us and PayPal also doesn't work if it is not in the us. So, your loss Comcast.
I though about checking Peacock out for a month, but then I remembered how Comcast fucked me over last month for exceeded my home data cap on my Xfinity internet - so I decided to cancel Xfinity when my contract is up and now refuse to give Comcast any more money than I have to.
