As of yet, big money for vintage TV shows or library fare.
They're banking on new original shows with big stars and big budgets to bring people in.
They are a little late.
I mean, they will certainly be launching later than the others, as will HBO Max.
One of the reasons that NBC, in my opinion, is late is they're owned, as you mentioned, they're owned by Comcast.
And Comcast, of course, is a huge cable operator, 21.5 million subscribers in the United States.
So
They have a tricky balancing act here.
Comcast wants to be in the streaming game, of course.
They want to have direct-to-consumer relationships and platforms.
But they don't want to alienate or undercut their own business model.
So it's complicated for them.
That's why this service they're launching, it's actually going to be free for Comcast subscribers.
And I think, you know, ultimately they'll want to make it –
possible to have other people who subscribe to other cable services get it for free as well.
I subscribe to Spectrum, which is out in Los Angeles.
And in theory, if they're successful, they'll work out some sort of deal with Spectrum where I will be able to sign up
as a cable subscriber and get access to Peacock, the name of the NBC service.
Well, viewers are always looking to spend less and get the most for their money, and that's the funny thing.
Everyone's always looked at this world of streaming as a way to break up the traditional cable bundle, as we call it, and yet a new bundle is being created.
