I was just thinking the other day… You know what we need? More streaming channels. Just kidding. But the media companies have to compete, so they’re probably not gonna stop popping up. (Hopefully that will help keep their prices down — I’m looking at you, Netflix.)
NBC launched Peacock TV today, but there’s one major hurdle still in the way of watching it. The media giant is not offering the streaming service on Roku or Amazon Fire. At least not yet. There’s some hardball business-y stuff that would have to be worked out to make that possible, but according to CNET the two platforms are used by 70% of streaming players. Yikes.
If you wanna use the new service on your phone, though, you can find it on Apple and Android! It’s also available on your computer, so whip out that laptop.
AND THERE’S ACTUALLY A FREE OPTION… You read that right. Free!
It’s happening! Great entertainment is finally FREE! Stream now at https://t.co/xbPZGULWBf
