Members ~bl~ Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 Where I live if you are a senior there is a cable package that for one tv in the 30-40 dollar range. This is mainly local channels, so NBC is included…so I can see someone with that package and no Internet beyond on their phone opting out, if their tv is too old without an HDMI port you can’t even cast from a phone to a Roku..but if your cell package has throttling or is not unlimited Peacock may be out of reach without help and a spend of more than what is advertised.

Members TEdgeofNight Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 The irony! Literally, as the final NBC broadcast of DAYS had about 1 minute to go, NBC interrupted the show to those of us who watched the show at 12 pm. Literally a minute left in the show. I understand why they interrupted the final NBC broadcast - and those of you who get the show at 1pm will see the finale as will those of you on the other time zones, hopefully.

Members dragonflies Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 I subscribe to Paramount Plus, HULU with Disney Bundle, HBO Max, Prime, Starz deal for $3 a month for 6 months and it's still not that pricey. Often you can find deals if you bundle it's cheaper Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 I know that this is an important news story, but NBC could've waited 30 seconds. Honestly, what they did was a little disrespectful Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 LOL at yet another non-important pre-emption. Seriously, the *king* of England is not breaking news in the US. My favorite comment on TVLINE: 'Barbara says: September 9, 2022 at 11:27 AM So sorry that NBC is moving Days. Don’t have internet access so won’t be able to follow.' Somehow she was able to post without internet. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Soapsuds Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 Even to the end Days gets shafted by NBC and leaves Daytime TV with no real ending for those that won't watch again. Agreed! The speech wasn't pressing news to preempt programming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Jdee43 Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) I'm surprised they didn't pre-empt the whole episode. It's quite poetic. NBC didn't really care that much about the show and its audience to the very end. Or maybe they did that on purpose, to encourage people to watch on Peacock without interruptions? LOL Edited September 9, 2022 by Jdee43 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted September 9, 2022 Administrator Share Posted September 9, 2022 Well, there won’t be any interruptions on Peacock, so that’s a plus. Please register in order to view this content Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ~bl~ Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 Some people think that going online on their phone isn’t Internet, and well I understand if someone did not want to watch a show on a tiny screen…I Have access to two NBC stations, one ran a banner the other did not. I watched the station without the banner and was there a promo at the end of the episode from NBC? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members edgeofnik Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 Yeah, well 80% of US Household subscribe to at least 1 streaming network so I'm not sure those who are left behind are of concern to the networks/streamers. Plus, Thursday Night Football is now exclusive to Amazon Prime. (Last night's telecast was actually a Sunday Night Football Special). And TNF has a much bigger audience than DAYS. It's just the way it is. Shows like Lucifer, Manifest, Evil, Seal Team, DWTS, Orville, etc.have all made the move from OTA to streaming because that was the only way to make economically feasible.

Members teplin Posted September 9, 2022 Members Share Posted September 9, 2022 (edited) Quite the metaphor for NBC's handling of the show's final weeks on air. Edited September 9, 2022 by teplin Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
