[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 […]

[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 […]

[ad_1] It’s long been known that Peacock will be an ad-supported platform (with between three and five minutes of ads per hour) and that cable subscribers and Comcast broadband users wouldn’t have to pay extra for access. However, a report suggests NBCU might pull the trigger on making Peacock available to everyone at no cost, […]
