DAYS OF OUR LIVES Moves to Peacock From NBC on September 12

[Liberty City]

I mean... we kind of saw this coming after the two chapters of Beyond Salem, and using that as a testing ground. My only hope is that Sony Pictures Television steps aside and NBCUniversal comes into play, and will pour some money into the production value, because it looks like s**t, especially for a soon-to-be streaming-only series.

[Toups]

I really hope Global still as the rights, with Sony, for the duration of this contract.  I guess we'll find out soon. 

[Taoboi]

That's good to hear.

Bye bye.

[dragonflies]

Yep it's done for, it's not gonna bring more subscribers to the platform are they hurting that badly for subscribers??

[Vee]

The PP soaps, though mismanaged and too far ahead of their time, had the advantage of being on what is still a major streamer with multiple things people want to watch: Hulu, which has only gained in prominence since with Disney. Peacock doesn't have enough other content to warrant that fee for enough people.

[Liberty City]

Yeah. This soap is clearly ending in 2023. Whatever episodes they're producing now will be the final ones. That's a choice.

I think this is Good Bye Days!   if I couldn't accompany it when it had some availability much less now

[Forever8]

Not having DAYS available via the free tier on Peacock doesn't sound feasible to me. I'm sure people would watch the ads if they were available to watch the show. Though I wonder are they expecting more people to subscribe? And it also sounds like Canada might not have access to DAYS soon via people on Twitter.

Yes:

Peacock, the streaming service of Comcast’s NBCUniversal, ended the second quarter with 13 million paid subscribers. This means that Peacock’s paid subscriber base, as of the end of June, stalled with zero growth.

Also, Comcast revealed that losses at Peacock widened to $467 million (EBITDA), from an adjusted EBITDA loss of $363 million in 2021.

[Forever8]

And at the time Hulu had a free tier with decent content to boot.

Which is why they a good marketing ploy (Releasing classic episodes) in order to lure more people over

[Joseph]

If they were smart they would try streaming classic Episodes First, Now They'll be KILLING that Soap! My God I so Wanted To See Sazanne and Deidre Reach Their 50th Anniversaries
