The streaming service Peacock is ramping up its offerings with a new deal with Universal Filmed Entertainment Group.

NBCUniversal kicks off it's new Peacock streaming service. Comcast chief Brian Roberts is exploring new options for the company's push into streaming, raising the idea of a possible tie-up with ViacomCBS or acquisition of Roku, according to a Wednesday report from The Wall Street Journal. The profile sent shares of Comcast down more than 3%. Roku stock jumped nearly 5%, while ViacomCBS shares were up 3.8%. Disclosure: Comcast owns NBCUniversal, the parent company of CNBC.

This week’s new entertainment releases include new music from Liz Phair, Lloyd Banks and Joe Walsh.

There aren't many legacy media companies left to combine after this month's deals, but here are three potential combinations that make sense.

For Hollywood, diversity and inclusion has become a hot button issue. Studios have discovered that having unique and different voices is good for business.

Peacock sign-ups grew by 9 million during the quarter.

This week’s new entertainment releases include the final two parts of Eric Church's three-album project, “Heart & Soul.”.

WWE Network averages 1.5 million subscribers, and will see a huge jump in its potential audience. “We can drop the price in half (WWE Network was $9.99 per month, while Peacock will be $4.99 per month) and add their technical support. WWE will shut down the existing standalone WWE Network app on April 4, meaning WrestleMania will be exclusively on Peacock. Comcast said in a release on Monday that the entire WWE Network archive should be on Peacock by mid-August. WWE used the Amway Center in Orlando for four months, but had to move when the Magic started the NBA season.

Each streaming service is different. Discovery's Discovery+ wants to be a "complement to other streaming services," according to CEO David Zaslav. Disney+ has already predicted it will have as many as 260 million global subscribers by 2024. "Not every streaming service deserves to exist or win," Kevin Mayer, former head of Disney+ and ex-CEO of TikTok, told CNBC. "All of these media companies were running commercials for their streaming services on television."

(Photo by Evan Agostini/Invision/AP, File)LOS ANGELES – Sisterhood and survival are the themes of a dark comedy coming to Peacock, a first step into Spanish-language fare created for the streaming service. The Miami-set “Armas de Mujer,” which translates in English as “Women's Weapons,” also is a switch for its stars, including Kate del Castillo of “La Reina del Sur” drama series fame. “I’m very happy to be doing this amazing genre that I’m not familiar with as an actress,” del Castillo said Wednesday.

Comcast also reported record net customer additions for high-speed internet service in Q4, and an additional 11 million subscribers to its new streaming service, Peacock. The company reported its best fourth-quarter result on record for total customer relationships, adding 455,000 customers to reach 33.1 million. Comcast said its Europe-based Sky division has continued to add customers, up 244,000 to 23.9 million in Q4. Here's how Comcast's divisions did for the quarter compared with a year earlier:Cable communications accounted for $15.7 billion in revenue, up 6.3%. Theme parks brought in $579 million in revenue, down 63%.

NBCUniversal's Peacock announced Monday it's reached an exclusive agreement to stream wrestling matches from the WWE Network in the U.S. The agreement puts an end to the WWE Network's independent streaming platform in the U.S., a person familiar with the matter told CNBC, though it will still exist on its own in other countries. On March 18, Peacock will begin rolling out 17,000 hours of WWE Network content. While the WWE Network's own platform cost users $9.99 per month, Peacock's ad-supported premium service is $4.99 per month. Users can upgrade to the ad-free Peacock Premium Plus for $9.99.

Novak as Ryan HowardHappy holidays, "The Office" fans -- you're about to get the first two seasons of the comedy series for free. Seasons 1 and 2 of "The Office" will be available on the free version of Peacock, NBCUniversal's streaming service, the company said Monday. "The Office," for years Netflix's most-watched series, will be exclusively available to Peacock subscribers starting Jan. 4, 2021. In addition to "The Office" episodes, NBCUniversal will release behind-the-scenes footage and interviews and never-before-seen clips and deleted scenes for premium subscribers. NBCUniversal projected in January that 30 million to 35 million Peacock accounts will be active by 2024.

The service, which offers free and paid options, had 10 million sign-ups when Comcast last reported earnings in July. Comcast also reported better-than-expected net customer additions for high-speed internet service and further growth to its new streaming service, Peacock. Comcast on Thursday reported third-quarter earnings that beat analyst estimates on the top and bottom lines. Cable added more broadband customers in the first nine months of the year than in all of 2019, Comcast reported, including nearly 1 million customers in the second and third quarters. Comcast said that excluding theme parks, NBCUniversal earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization grew by 9% year over year.

HOUSTON – Hey, hey, hey! The much-anticipated ‘Saved By The Bell’ reboot finally has a premiere date. The 90′s TV show will premiere its first episode on Nov. 25, the day before Thanksgiving. A teaser trailer dropped on Tuesday, which features a refreshed look of Bayside High, the setting of the show. Another trailer was dropped back in August, featuring Elizabeth Berkley Lauren, as Jessie Spano and Mario Lopez as Slater, reprising their roles on the show.

Shares of Roku jumped more than 16% on Monday, hitting a new 52-week high, after NBCUniversal's Peacock launched on the streaming platform. Comcast, NBCUniversal's parent company, and Roku had been in talks for months to get the service streaming on Roku but disagreed over control of user data and sharing of advertising inventory. Peacock launched in July but was missing on Roku and another popular platform — Amazon Fire TV. Comcast ramped up pressure on Friday and threatened to pull NBC's TV Everywhere channels from Roku while negotiations continued. Roku is at a standstill with AT&T over WarnerMedia's HBO Max service.

NEW YORK – NBC moved eight of this weekend’s 10 Premier League matches to its online streaming service Peacock behind a pay wall because it wanted to broadcast golf's U.S. Open and the Tour de France on its television networks. NBC took over Premier League U.S. broadcasts from Fox starting with the 2013-14 season and on typical weekends in recent seasons had two Saturday matches on NBCSN followed by a late game on NBC, and several Sunday matches on NBCSN. But there will be just two televised matches this weekend, Arsenal vs. West Ham on NBCSN at 3 p.m. EDT Saturday and Leicester vs. Burnley on NBCSN at 2 p.m. Sunday. The Premier League continues to play in empty grounds because of the novel coronavirus, and all September games are being televised live in Britain. It shifted them behind a pay wall to NBC Sports Gold for the 2017-18 season, and last year they cost $39.99 for a Premier League MatchDay Pass that gave access to 140 live matches or $64.99 for the Premier League Pass that included replays and additional programming.

(Photo by Richard Shotwell/Invision/AP, File)LOS ANGELES Peacock is launching a pair of weekly late-night comedy series with Larry Wilmore and Amber Ruffin to focus on current events. We cant wait to write sketches, songs and jokes about this terrible time we call now!" Ruffin said in a statement Monday announcing the The Amber Ruffin Show." The shows are set to launch in September, with 11 episodes ordered for Wilmore's series and nine for Ruffin's, Peacock said.

Peacock, NBCUniversal's new streaming service, is ready to flaunt its colorful library of content and its attention-grabbing price point of $0. "Peacock Free" is the free, ad-supported option for any consumer regardless of cable provider. So "Peacock Premium" is a tad bit more expensive than Disney+ but it still costs less than WarnerMedia's new service, HBO Max, and Netflix. And it will have something that many streaming services don't: news and sports. As the last major streaming service to go to market, Peacock may have an issue grabbing consumers who have a limited amount of disposable income.

NBCUniversalThe advertising market is taking a hard hit, but NBCUniversal's streaming service, Peacock, is entering the streaming space with a stable of heavy-hitting advertising partners. Reaching viewers who aren't watching TV anymoreConsumers are increasingly cutting the cord on their cable packages, moving from linear TV viewership to internet-based streaming services. Media companies seem well aware of the trend, and are jumping into buying ad-supported streaming services. "There certainly is still a lot of crossover of people who [go] between linear and streaming services. Of course, Covid-related cancellations of live programming like sports are hitting linear TV as well as Peacock, which will have both on-demand and live content.

As Americans are hunkered down at home and consuming more content, one analyst says the current situation "bodes really well" for NBCUniversal's new video streaming service, Peacock. Comcast owns NBCUniversal. "And streaming services will pick up a lot of users." NBCUniversal also owns NBC Sports and NBC Olympics. NBC Olympics is the U.S. broadcast rights holder to all Summer and Winter Games through the year 2032.

Al Roker, NBCUniversal kicks off it's new Peacock streaming service on TODAY at 30 Rockefeller Plaza. NBCUniversal said Monday it's reducing commercial time and offering resources like more access to talent and remote production without fees to its advertising partners. The company wouldn't specify precisely how much commercial time was being reduced. Because of reduced commercial time, NBCU said it will devote more time to news divisions at NBC News, MSNBC, CNBC and Telemundo for updates and special programming. Disclosure: NBCUniversal is the parent company of CNBC.

After all, streaming video usage would surely increase with everyone stuck at home with few other entertainment options. That's made me reconsider how many Americans are going to jump at spending any extra money on streaming services while they're stuck at home. Instead of cementing subscription streaming services into daily life habits, it's possible quarantines will actually showcase the value of free streaming particularly user-generated content. More people are spending watching video during quarantines, which, of course, is better for subscription streaming than the alternative. User-generated content is instant and fresh, documenting at-home life, while on-demand Hollywood shows will fill an escapism niche but may feel less immediate and more anachronistic as quarantines continue.

Michael Brochstein | SOPA Images | LightRocket | Getty ImagesThe coronavirus outbreak may lead to the first U.S. recession in more than a decade, but it could be a bonanza for the companies competing in the streaming wars. It just so happens that several new streaming services NBCUniversal's Peacock, WarnerMedia's HBO Max and Quibi will be debuting between now and May. The newcomers will need strong word-of-mouthThe next three entrants to the streaming wars will be: Quibi, the short-form streaming service founded by longtime entertainment executive Jeffrey Katzenberg and run by former eBay and Hewlett Packard Enterprise CEO Meg Whitman, debuts April 6. HBO Max, from AT&T's WarnerMedia, is slated to debut in May. HBO Max will also include everything from HBO and will cost $14.99 per month the same price as HBO.

Netflix often shows TV shows and movies that are popular, but it hasn't provided a top 10 list before. Netflix on Monday said it will soon start showing viewers the top 10 movies and top 10 TV shows that are available to stream. Here's how the feature works: You'll see one list that shows a combination of top TV shows and movies in the U.S., for example. But if you tap into movies or TV show sections, you'll see a top 10 list specific to those, too. "This new row complete with its own special design will enable you to see what is most popular on Netflix in your country," Netflix said.

Comcast on Thursday reported fourth-quarter earnings that exceeded estimates for the top and bottom lines. The company also said it added 442,000 new high-speed internet customers, surpassing expectations for 378,000 net adds. Comcast said that big beat was its best for a fourth quarter in five years. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts announced the company is increasing its dividend by 10% to 92 cents per share on an annualized basis for 2020. After the earnings report, Roberts told CNBC's "Squawk Box" that Comcast has made a "pivot to a broadband-centric cable company."

CNBC's Jim Cramer said Wednesday that Netflix's earnings call fostered optimism about a company he once called "an open sore on the market." Shares of Netflix, which had climbed more than 2% in the premarket, turned lower at Wednesday's open on Wall Street. However, Cramer said the standout moments on the call came from CEO Reed Hastings, who discussed Netflix's data integration and avoiding ad money. Netflix uses customer analytics to predict what content users will like and pushes recommendations based on that, a move Cramer said was "genius." "Everyone thinks ad money is falling from trees, it's going to Facebook, it's going to Alphabet, it's going to Amazon," Cramer said, adding Netflix will benefit from not integrating ads.

But neglecting the DVD business proved to be a mistake, and Netflix reversed course. Shares of Netflix fluctuated in after-hours trading on Tuesday after the company reported fourth-quarter results. The company beat on the top and bottom lines for the quarter, but gave disappointing guidance for the first quarter. That's compared to analyst expectations for earnings of $1.20 per share and $5.76 billion in revenue. Despite this, Netflix said it still hopes to "move slowly" toward being free cash flow positive in the future.

Toward the end of NBCUniversal's two-hour long presentation of its Peacock streaming video service Thursday, the media and entertainment company dropped a revealing piece of information that rival companies haven't made available. That $6 to $7 is less than what the company generates today from selling its products to cable networks. For the nine months ended September 30, 2019, NBCUniversal cable networks made about $3.4 billion in adjusted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization. NBCUniversal is predicting it will have between 30 and 35 million Peacock subscribers by 2024. These economics help explain why NBCUniversal plans to offer Peacock Premium for no additional charge to cable subscribers.

Along with AT&T Inc.s HBO Max, NBCs new service, Peacock, is poised to be a relatively late entrant in the burgeoning market for streaming-video services. Comcast executives have said they plan to spend $2 billion over the next two years on the streaming service and expect it to break even by its fifth year. Their subscribers will have access to twice as many hours of content as those using the free version. Ad OptionsAnyone can get the free version of Peacock, but customers will have to pay $4.99 for the premium version with advertising. It also reflects the fact that Peacock is owned by Comcast, the largest U.S. cable-TV provider, which can use a free streaming service to make its other offerings more attractive.

Comcast-owned NBCUniversal unveiled details of its new streaming service Peacock on Thursday afternoon, and it promises to be light on ads. Viewers will see fewer than five minutes of ads per hour on both the free version of Peacock and Peacock Premium, the latter of which is included with Comcast and Cox subscriptions but otherwise costs $4.99 per month. Hulu, which is majority-owned by Disney, told CNBC that it shows roughly nine minutes or less of commercials per hour on its $5.99 ad-supported subscription. Tubi, which is free, told CNBC it shows about four minutes of ads per hour. Traditional TV networks show an average of 11 minutes of commercials per hour, according to a December 2018 report by Pivotal Research.

Thursday's announcement will essentially close out phase one of the streaming era: product announcements and launch dates. Streaming services are theoretically future replacement products for pay TV an anachronistic bundle of linear TV networks that cost somewhere between $60 and $100 per month. There's strong evidence suggesting the general public has begun a movement away from traditional TV toward streaming. "When disruptive products enter a market, they typically are worse in some meaningful way relative to traditional products," Hindo said. At this juncture, the three new benefits for streaming services are lower price, new content and mobility, i.e., access to programming anywhere on any device.

Michael Kassan, CEO of advertising advisory firm MediaLink, said as TV ratings decline with consumers shifting to streaming, there's increasing demand from brands to reach consumers on new streaming platforms. Peacock will be the biggest ad-supported streaming launch, as NBC looks for an opportunity to move away from the increasingly crowded subscription streaming space. Amazon is building an ad-supported streaming service in IMDb TV. "I would argue that if it's ad-supported streaming, it's TV in a different form, but it is still TV," Kassan said. Expect more content, viewers, and advertising to shift to the streaming space, Kassan said.

Comcast's NBCUniversal and Starz announced a new deal Monday to license streaming content from one another. The two companies have entered a long-term agreement that will give NBC's Peacock streaming service a fresh batch of content. NBCUniversal has also agreed to license out content to Starz for its own streaming service. The streaming service will also offer older series that aired on NBC including "The Office" (beginning in 2021), "Cheers" and "Friday Night Lights." CNBC reported last week that Peacock will integrate live offerings from NBC News Now, NBC's free streaming news service.

When streamers first log on to NBCUniversal's new streaming service Peacock, they may get something they won't see on Netflix, Disney+ or HBO Max live video. Users will be greeted by streaming content, similar to turning on traditional television, according to people familiar with the matter. Different versions of Peacock are still being beta-tested, as the service won't launch until April, the people said. NBCUniversal executives are trying to position Peacock as a valuable streaming service while not cannibalizing the traditional pay-TV business. The streaming service will include older series that aired on NBC including "The Office" (beginning in 2021), "Cheers" and "Friday Night Lights."
