Peacock has revealed its upcoming content slate for the streaming platform due to be released in spring 2020, along with its revenue plans.
The company’s earnings call saw Comcast reveal that their plan is for Peacock to be heavily supported by ads. The reasoning behind this decision is that Comcast don’t want to be like competitors such as Netflix, choosing instead to stand out by being ad supported.
Comcast also said that Peacock would be heavily featured on Comcast’s new streaming player, the Flex. This could mean that potential and existing Comcast internet and TV customers are given a lot of advertising about Peacock.
While pricing details have yet to be announced, some of the content library has been. Apart from that, executives at Comcast have said they wish to keep various aspects of the service a secret until a few months before launch. In doing this, competitors will be prevented from learning what their plan is.
