Details so far have been very thin about NBCU’s new streaming service hopefully we will get all the information we want like pricing and device support tomorrow. We’ve heard about some of the NBC content and original programming being planned for the service, but we might also learn more about the content strategy for Peacock during the meeting. With plans for a heavily ad-supported service, the investor meeting will also likely go over how Comcast plans to make this streaming service profitable.
According to CNBC Comcast reportedly plans to charge $10 a month for an ad-free version of Peacock and $5 a month for an ad-supported version. For now though, that is just a rumor.
Want to see what happens at the investor meeting? Comcast will be doing a live webcast of the meeting on its website. You can also watch a replay after the live webcast ends. We’ll be covering the meeting as well, if you’re only interested in the highlights.
