Peacock and E.W. Scripps Company, have announced a deal to bring six of its popular channels now available as part of Peacock’s 24/7 streaming channel lineup. The channels—ION, ION Mystery, Bounce, Court TV, Court TV Legendary Trials, and Scripps News—are now accessible to subscribers of NBCUniversal’s Peacock streaming service, offering a diverse array of entertainment, sports, news, and true crime content to millions of viewers.
Peacock’s always-on streaming channels are a cornerstone of the platform’s offerings, providing a robust collection of fan-favorite content across multiple genres, including Sports (NFL, Premier League), News (NBC News, Sky News, TODAY), Entertainment (WWE, Saturday Night Live), reality, true crime, Spanish-language programming, and comedy. The addition of Scripps’ six channels enhances Peacock’s already expansive portfolio, catering to a wide range of viewer interests and further solidifying its position as a leading streaming destination.
The six Scripps channels now streaming on Peacock are:
- ION: A leading general entertainment network featuring a diverse programming lineup, including women’s sports like WNBA games, popular off-network series, and original content designed to captivate a broad audience.
- ION Mystery: A haven for fans of binge-worthy dramas, docuseries, and original programming, offering suspenseful storytelling that keeps viewers on the edge of their seats.
- Court TV: Dedicated to live, gavel-to-gavel coverage of the nation’s most significant trials, complemented by in-depth legal reporting and expert analysis.
- Court TV Legendary Trials: A unique channel showcasing archived footage of some of the most gripping and historic trials in U.S. history, offering viewers a front-row seat to courtroom drama.
- Bounce: Tailored for African American audiences, Bounce features a vibrant mix of original series, movies, theatrical motion pictures, off-network series, specials, and events.
- Scripps News: A trusted source for objective, context-driven journalism, delivering fact-based reporting and insightful storytelling that explores the “why” behind the headlines.
This strategic partnership comes on the heels of Scripps’ ongoing efforts to expand its content distribution. Recently, the company inked a multiyear agreement to broadcast WNBA games on ION, reinforcing its commitment to women’s sports. The addition of its channels to Peacock aligns with broader industry trends, as media companies increasingly leverage streaming platforms to reach cord-cutters and digital-first audiences.
Peacock subscribers can now access these Scripps channels as part of their subscription, with no additional cost, further enhancing the platform’s value proposition. The move also complements other recent streaming expansions, such as Allen Media Group’s addition of 23 Warner Bros. Discovery channels to Local Now and Fubo’s inclusion of Weigel Broadcasting’s networks, signaling a competitive push to diversify streaming offerings.
