Peacock Broadcast

Matt M. : 9/3/2024 9:17 pm
Today was the first I realized that Friday night's Packers/Eagles game is only on Peacock. Is the first regular season game exclusively on Peacock? I didn't get Peacock for the playoff game last year and I'm not getting it for this. I find it kind of annoying, as this is a game I'd like to watch (although it would be better if it wasn't Week 1).
Your welcome to watch here

Always welcome Matt

we will probably need subscriptions to all of the major streaming platforms in order to watch games in the near future.. and paying more for it as they keep raising subscription prices.

I think you are correct. However, there has to be a point of diminishing returns. I do have Prime but will not get Peacock or any of the others. There is nothing on those services beside football I would watch. I did switch to YouTube TV and dumped cable. But I will not go with Sunday Ticket. I used to have it, but price became ridiculous especially when I was gone half the year.

But at some point in the not so distance future, people will be tired of useless subscriptions.
I can see more people using the illegal sites

more often especially with the pay sites getting dibs on prime games.
Is it available on the free Peacock version or the premium?  
steve in ky : 9/3/2024 11:07 pm : link
If it on the free one you only need to sign up, costs nothing
It's the second regular season game.

They did a bills chargers game last year.

Unless you simply refuse to pay, step back and do some analysis of what brings you pleasure versus the greed and haughtiness of these football moguls and realize there are other things.

It is on Premium, but they are offering a discount.

Glad the Giants aren't on Peacock

at least according to the schedule on BBI, though the last 2 are TBD. I'll be pissed if one of them ends up on Peacock. I'm already paying for Sunday Ticket and Prime.
do i have it correct that if the Giants were on  
GMAN4LIFE : 9/4/2024 11:26 am : link
Peacock, it will also be on local stations for the area?

On the bright side, that would probably mean they weren't having another crappy season.

Friday's game is the only exclusive game on Peacock this season.
If you want to watch the game then subscribe for a month  
Metnut : 9/4/2024 12:06 pm : link
and cancel. It costs less about the same as a beer these days. Less than a glass of wine. Truly first world problems having to pay a nominal cost for an out of market game.

You either adapt to the new world or you don't. Obviously if there wasn't money to made from streaming the games this movement wouldn't be happening.

Cable TV is dead.

The one thing that helps consumers from being steamrolled in this situation is that there probably isn't one centralized lobbying force propping up the thousands of neighborhood sports bars that stand to benefit from increased footfall.
The public will pay… for awhile  
JohnB : 9/4/2024 2:21 pm : link
And then they’ll get sick of it walk away and NEVER return. Just ask boxing.
Weird team-up, I get Peacock with my Instacart  
Blue Baas : 9/4/2024 2:51 pm : link
I love not having to go grocery shopping anymore, and for some reason they give you Peacock with it.

You can do a 30 day trial of Instacart+ and watch.
Kudos the the BBi'er who posted the lonks LY

Or the best athletes started going for the big money other sports offered instead of having their faces beat in for a living. The pay increases in other sports killed boxing.

Same boat. IF the Giants should land on Peacock, I hope those here are correct and it would air locally as well, because I'm not paying for Peacock.
I have it

And I'd be willing to stream it on Discord for anyone interested.
