[ad_1] Talk shows and sports leagues have used internet services to keep offering fresh content despite the COVID-19 pandemic, so why not comedy shows? Saturday Night Live is taking a stab at it.

NBC may revive ‘Quantum Leap’ for its Peacock streaming service
[ad_1] We wouldn’t count on a possible show bringing back Scott Bakula or Dean Stockwell, at least not in their original roles. Bakula is tied up with NCIS: New Orleans, while Stockwell hasn’t acted in five years. It’s likelier that this would be a reboot or a sequel. You might find out more soon. NBC […]
Streaming won’t get easier or cheaper
[ad_1] And it won’t slow down in 2020, either — HBO Max and Peacock are right around the corner.

NBC’s Peacock streaming service might include live video
[ad_1] Most notably, one of the sources claims you won’t get the full series of The Office (and possibly other shows) if you stick to the free tier.

NBC’s Peacock streaming service may charge $10 for ad-free viewing
[ad_1] NBC hasn’t confirmed the potential new pricing, although you won’t have long to find out when it’s expected to detail Peacock’s cost on January 16th. The variable tiers would make sense. A free option (even if it’s tied to cable service) may be needed to lure customers either wary of a single-network service or […]
Twitter teams up with NBC for live 2020 Olympics coverage
[ad_1] NBC previously worked with Snapchat for the 2018 Winter Games, offering some live coverage and highlights packages through the Discover tab. Still, this is the biggest step the Comcast subsidiary has taken to date in terms of allowing a partner to use live Olympics video, the New York Times notes. There’s an interactive element […]
Netflix loses ‘The Office’ after 2020 to NBCUniversal’s service
[ad_1] Wondering what the most watched show on subscription streaming is? According to NBC it’s The Office, and as such, it’s no surprise that once the company’s agreement with Netflix expires at the end of 2020, it’s keeping the show for its own streaming service. The ad-supported NBCUniversal package is launching in 2020, but it […]
