What is the Peacock streaming service?

Peacock is a digital streaming platform from NBCUniversal that offers a vast range of television shows, movies, original series, and live programming to subscribers. Named after the iconic NBC logo, the service competes with other streaming giants like Netflix, Hulu, and Amazon Prime Video by offering content from NBCUniversal's extensive library which includes Universal Pictures, Focus Features, DreamWorks Animation, and other studios. Peacock stands out for its tiered access levels: it provides an ad-supported free version with limited content, a premium option with more extensive offerings and fewer ads, and a premium plus option that eliminates ads entirely. The service also features live sports coverage and special events, making it a diverse platform for entertainment consumers.
