Have you been using Peacock for a while ? What do you think of it ?

It looks like I still need Sling to get the programs I want, but Peacock carries most of MSNOW *except* Rachel Maddow -- at least from what I can tell from their Web pages.

Dan Patrick in the am. That's free. Rarely watch anything else. Used to pay but canceled. Rachel and all liberal commentators are free on Tune In. Audio only

While I miss things that are on TV, ultimately, someone posts video clips (here or on YouTube) or I can go back and watch the show, but I rarely do so. I get the gist from listening, and then the context ends up being discussed elsewhere as well.

But, yes, I like Peacock, but I got it on a really cheap Black Friday sale last year--$25 /year or something.

I am in a dead zone for antenna-watching except for ABC and local FOX-entertainment affiliate, so when I cut both cable AND YOUTUBE TV, the only way I can get NBC shows or their live content and CBS is to subscribe to Peacock and Paramount+. I don't know how much they will charge next year, though. Not too soon to look for deals.

I got a killer deal on Peacock too. I get free HBO because of a deal I made with ATT. Still have their internet..... seven years later .They went to court but they couldn't get out of it...and that also means I get the additional channels too. I also keep PBS...you donate...$50.00 gets you idea stream for a year. They have great shows. I have another deal I made with Netflix....I forget the details. Direct TV came by and I politely declined...I hate cable was in the hospital for 9 days and streamed on my tablet. Look for deals.
