Peacock, the NBCUniversal streaming service that launched in April in Comcast homes, started expanding nationally overnight as Tuesday turned to Wednesday on the East Coast.
Along with Comcast’s X1 and Flex, Peacock will be available on Apple and Google platforms, Microsoft’s Xbox, Vizio and LG smart TVs, Cox Contour and, starting next week, Sony PlayStation. Talks are ongoing with major distributors like Amazon Fire and Roku, but those two top platforms are still on the sidelines as of now.
Peacock will offer 13,000 hours on its free tier and 20,000 hours on its subscription level, sourced from a range of networks and studios both inside and outside of NBCU. Nine Peacock Original movies and shows are available at launch, with others following through the end of the year. (Deadline reported Tuesday on the latest release dates for several shows arriving after today’s expansion.)

Exclusive: NBCUniversal-owned Telemundo has surpassed 10 million subscribers to its main YouTube channel, a higher tally than any other channel tied to a U.S. broadcast network.
The shared model of the Google-owned platform has delivered the Hispanic media brand meaningful revenue from YouTube. But its main value has been as a targeted marketing vehicle, especially given the firm embrace of digital technology by Telemundo’s core audience. The potency of the network’s YouTube presence is now being mobilized for the national launch of Peacock this month.
Eight of Telemundo’s 11 YouTube channels have at least one million subscribers. The mother ship is now at 10.6 million, up from 1 million in 2015, and the next-biggest, one dedicated to court show Caso Cerrado (Case Closed), is approaching the 10 million mark. The total portfolio is at 35 million and counting.
