Members j swift Posted October 30, 2022 Members Share Posted October 30, 2022 With the news that cable companies are dropping free access to Peacock, I wonder if the next move is content providers pressuring cable systems to drop cloud-based DVR's in favor of streaming? If the networks learned a lesson from VCR's a generation ago, it would seem wise to drop DVR's where people can ff through commercials and make consumers watch non-live TV on streaming where they can make additional income from advertisements. Cloud based services are becoming more expensive to maintain, while more people have access to faster internet access to make it easier to stream, and younger viewers don't place value on saving media to watch later. That being said, whenever I watched SNL on YouTube it felt like torture having to watch the same three commercials over and over at each break. I feel like I pay for Peacock not due to any programming, but just so that I don't have to hear the same annoying pizza commercial for the rest of my life.

Members Faulkner Posted October 31, 2022 Members Share Posted October 31, 2022 (edited) OT: Peacock will become the streaming home for Hallmark (plus live simulcasts of the linear channels), which as President Biden would say, is a “big f—-ing deal.” https://deadline.com/2022/10/peacock-streaming-hallmark-programming-christmas-movies-1235159080/ Edited October 31, 2022 by Faulkner Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members te. Posted October 31, 2022 Members Share Posted October 31, 2022 This is a very smart move for Peacock and should be mutually beneficial to both DAYS and the Hallmark movies. I imagine there'll be a lot of synergy going on there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members Faulkner Posted October 31, 2022 Members Share Posted October 31, 2022 And this too re: Peacock. Seems like the service is really shoring things up in a way that could be beneficial to DAYS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Members AbcNbc247 Posted December 6, 2022 Members Share Posted December 6, 2022 (edited) Hopefully, Days had something to do with the increase. I'm sure Halloween Ends did, despite how terrible it was. Plus, Peacock has some pretty good documentaries too Edited December 6, 2022 by AbcNbc247 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
