Peacock and Paramount+ Discussing Partnership

[disneychrista]

@disneychrista, I suggest using antennaweb.org. Put in your address and it should tell you what type of antenna you need. You might need an outdoor antenna. Based on your image, you're getting SOME signal, just not enough.

I need a medium directional to get channels I've never heard of. It doesn't even list the major stations.

Wow. You must be way out in the boonies (no offense intended).

What I think could happen is that if Paramount+ and Peacock were to partner together is that the Peacock name will no longer exist and Paramount and NBC's new app would be called NBC+. Because if you look at the sitcom lineup Paramount produces some of the NBC sitcoms like The Fresh Prince Of Bel-Air Frasier "1993" Family Ties Cheers and Wings and if this merge happens you will probably see Newsradio and Friends and possibly Seinfeld being added to Paramount+. But what I think will most likely disappear from Peacock will be WWE Wrestling and Bel-Air and other Peacock exclusive shows will have a new home at Paramount+. My mom has Peacock and she is very disappointed with it and I can never figure out how it's successful. Like if you want to watch any of the NBC holiday programming such as Macy's Thanksgiving Day Parade they make it an exclusive to Peacock Premium subscribers and when I viewed Peacock I noticed that they had the syndicated Deal Or No Deal but had only six episodes and it wasn't worth it to me. But Paramount+ is my favorite because it has my favorite movies and game shows and is better than Peacock. I did also have the chance to view the Super Bowl on Paramount+ as did my parents and on my TV the game would stop start and then go slowly until I got an error message and my parents when they watched the Super Bowl on Paramount+ on our living room TV the game would skip and cut off in the middle of a commercial break and the same error message appeared like my TV got. But like Disneychrista I did not get a green screen

Are you speaking of the loss of 1.3M D+ subscribers last quarter?
If so, I don't think Disney is too worried about it - they raised prices 30% and lost less than 1% of their subs. i think any streamer would take that deal.

Yeah.. but they also kept that number high with all the promotional rates they offered.

I get Paramount “free” with my Walmart + subscription and never use it. I pay yearly for Peacock and watch it almost daily. Like disneychristina I hope this doesn’t jack up the price or is optional because I have no use for it.

Not really. But I do live in a valley, which I know causes TV reception issues.

I have Disney+, Peacock, Prime and Paramount, but I don't actually pay for them and would not pay for them.
Even Netflix really has nothing I want, I know many like it.

How do you have them but not pay? Are you using someone else’s a accounts?

Does Peacock also own the Telemundo Spanish language network too? Because my mother noticed that Peacock has some of Telemundo's Spanish soap operas

Some Amex cards give you free Disney Plus\Hulu. Also gives you Walmart+ which gets you Paramount+. The annual fee is very high, but overall I get far more in benefits than the high fee.

Peacock is free with Comcast Internet in some cases.

I pay for prime which gives you their streaming.
Prime often has 7 day free trials or 3 months for a low price so I take advantage of those for HBO max for example.

Netflix I used to get a month every once in a great while, and catch up on what I missed, but their has not been anything as of late.
