They also offer other recognizable brands, like CNN and Fox Sports - though those run curated clips, not the actual live broadcast you’d see if you watched them on cable. The lineup draws heavily from Viacom’s other properties, so you can tune into TV Land Drama, BET Her, MTV's Jersey Shore and VH1's I Love Reality. Viewers can browse live channels in a grid, similar to the cable TV guide experience. The Viacom-owned Pluto TV has a decent selection of on-demand movies and shows but where it really shines is in live TV streaming. All in all, we'd call Peacock Free a steal - but it doesn't cost anything!Įditor's note: Peacock won a Highly Recommended award in the 2021 Tom's Guide Awards for Best Free Streaming Service. If you don't know what to watch, channel surf and check out what's playing at the moment. There are also 'live' channels, based on brands like Saturday Night Live and the Today Show. Speaking of that, as a Peacock Free viewer, you can sample the service's originals like Brave New World and Intelligence. Peacock Free doesn't require you to enter your credit card info, but you will have to watch ads - including commercials for Peacock Premium, a tier with even more programming and originals. And there are a ton of movies to watch, from the Bourne Identity trilogy to Jurassic Park to Shrek. Later, the entire series of The Office will be available. You'll find titles like 30 Rock, Battlestar Galactica, Cheers, Friday Night Lights, Parenthood and Parks and Recreation. It's already a behemoth, with over 13,000 hours of content available in its Peacock Free tier. There's a new power player on the streaming circuit - NBC's Peacock TV.
