Hey all – Steve here. Peacock has really been a pleasant surprise. I don’t have cable, so this one is great for me so that I can watch Sunday Night Football without an antenna. It’s just one less thing to worry about. Let’s get to it because they’ve got a bunch of good things coming our way! Oh, anything with a * indicates a Peacock exclusive. They wanted me to pass that along. Now…we can start!

New in October:
