Peacock is a streaming service launched in the United States on July 15, 2020. It is owned and operated by NBCUniversal, a subsidiary of Comcast Corporation. The service is named after the iconic NBC logo, which features a peacock with colorful feathers.
Peacock offers a vast library of TV shows and movies, including popular NBCUniversal properties such as “The Office,” “Parks and Recreation,” “Law and Order,” and “Saturday Night Live.” In addition to these classics, Peacock also offers original programming, including reboots of “Saved by the Bell” and “Battlestar Galactica,” as well as exclusive shows like “Brave New World” and “The Capture.”

In addition to its content offerings, Peacock also features innovative features, including curated channels based on genres and themes, personalized recommendations based on viewing history, and a unique “Channels” feature that offers 24/7 streaming of news, sports, and entertainment.

With its extensive library, original programming, and unique features, Peacock is poised to continue growing and expanding in the years to come.
