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

But Greg Rikaart later says he thinks it's more like 4-6 months. I hope he's closer to the truth.

I believe it's because they've been on hiatus. MBE didn't subtract that from the equation. They still said that's too far ahead. They have no clue what's aired.

I still have this great GIF of Hope in BS2 where she sees Megan & says, HOLY SH*T!

Supposedly they are 6 plus 1 out. 6 is in the can, on tape, finished. One month is in writing, been vetted, been rewritten according to notes. Personally I would hope at that point they'd toss the plus one. I doubt they know yet what they will do with little decisions like that.

They don’t mention DAYS in this piece, but Peacock added 2 million paid subscribers in Q3, according to NBCUniversal’s CEO, at least.

That HAS to bode well for Days, at least as far as how its transition will be regarded.  Real Housewives Ultimate Girls Trip 2 likely contributed to those subscriptions, as well, plus the $1.99 deal. I'd be curious to see how much of that new 15 million happened prior to September and how much happened once the $1.99 deal kicked in.

While there are many factors that could have contributed, none of them have solid stats to support them. With that said, Peacock previously attributed its gains in subscribers this time last year and in Q1 to sports, specifically “Sunday Night Football,” the Olympics and “Bel-Air.”

Q2 was stagnant because they had nothing to offer while Q3 had the movies “Minions,” “Jurassic World: Dominion,” “Days of our Lives” move, next day airings of NBC/Bravo shows (after deal at Hulu ended) and a huge discount of $1.99 a month or $19.99 for a year.

I personally do not think you can grant a two million subscriber gain on a soap opera, especially when Peacock didn’t mention it once in any press release or announcement citing the increase in subs.

Facts

Meanwhile, Disney+ is claiming it added close to 14.5 million in Q3. So, if you want to compare in the streaming wars, Peacock is still trailing far behind the competition.

No, they ain't pulling those kind of numbers because of a low-budget soap-opera. Peacock is just thirsty. It's like one of those crockpots where you're like making beef stew or ratatouille and you accidentally set it on high heat. All of a sudden, you come home desperately wanting to rid a corn on your middle toe, right? When you open your front door, you smell something foul coming from the kitchen and you discover the mess with your crockpot. And it's so thirsty that it needs water.

Yeah. That's Peacock all wrapped up in a nutshell. But, hey! For .08 cents a day ...

(Oh, hey! That rhymes!)

Note: A post in this thread was deleted because it referenced a person who is not to be discussed on this forum, ever. Person is the Voldemort of SON and is oft referred to as “She who shall not be named.”
 

Now, I won’t go into details of who that is, or why this is, but there is a long history behind it and it’s best we keep them from being referenced on this forum. It’s nothing personal against them. There’s no beef. It’s just best for all. 
 

Thank you.

I know who you're referring too and I saw her tweet and did nothing but roll my eyes lol
