Peacock Will Stream All NBCUniversal Coverage Of Beijing Olympics, Including Live Events, Via Premium Tier

[AngieNikodinovLove (ANL)]

Will Peacock broadcasting/dreaming have commentation? I assume it will.

Edited- I just saw above that yes it will have commentation, OK cool

I can’t believe the team event starts in mere days. Has it been announced anywhere who will be part of the teams?

The Qualification for the TE thread in Great Skate Debate is the center for all FSU speculation on TE participants from different countries, lol.

Peacock's Olympics page for now: https://www.peacocktv.com/sports/olympics

Peacock's Figure Skating Schedule page: https://www.peacocktv.com/sports/olympics/schedule/figure-skating

I can find Olympic figure skating "tiles" if I search for them, but don't see a "hub" for them... and they aren't with the figure skating hub, at least not yet. For instance, here's the Team Event day one tile: https://www.peacocktv.com/watch/asset/sports/team-event-day-1/edb24c47-0206-3c1d-97d5-33f12259fbf9

I also see USA and NBC broadcasts listed. I assume there will be one page where they list all the Olympics broadcasts eventually. And remember that Peacock often changes their times or even lists the wrong times, etc.

They've updated for Figure Skating. When I signed into Peacock, I clicked the Figure Skating icon, and all the "tiles" were up.

Meh this doesn’t sound anywhere near as good as the 2018 version of Olympic Ice with Ben and Charlie on the desk.

It's Olympic Ice, so they hire a skier and a comedian as hosts ...

 

[BaileyCatts]

Dammit why can't they have Olympic Ice on USA too so I can at least DVR it. Have to work and I don't have sound on my computer at work. How you get sound on a desktop computer? Do I have to just click something that maybe I don't have clicked? I will totally sneak this if I can get sound.

You don't have Peacock? (I know we've talked about this, but I forget)

 

[BaileyCatts]

I will sign up and get it if I can figure out how I can listen on my computer at work. Biggest problem is I gotta be at work at 10am when Olympic Ice will be on. Now that I know USA will show full event skating, at least I can DVR the early morning stuff. But I wanna see Olympic Ice too.

They let you stream from their web page. I don't know if you have to have premium for that though since it never lets me log in.

I haven’t given up on no commentary. How about the nbcolympics.com feed? For the summer Olympics regular and rhythmic gymnastics, there were no-comment options at many events.

Jackie Wong, aka rockerskating, has updated his calendar with all the start times converted to Eastern. I trust him more than the start times on Peacock. His calendar is here https://www.rockerskating.com/calendar

I didn't know where else to share this, so I'll just put it here.

This is an article about how Peacock is doing as a business:

Peacock Now Has 17 Million Subscribers

But it’s also losing a lot of money for Comcast.

www.vulture.com

To sum up, Peacock is steadily gaining in subscribers but still may not be earning huge revenue.

I'm interested in this because I do really appreciate all the coverage on Peacock, and I'd really like to see it continue past this Olympic season.

Olympic Ice will most likely be archived so if you find a way to get it, you can watch later.

I'm looking to sign up this week.... how bad are the commercials on the $5 tier when it comes to skating?

Check PMs

There aren't any.

Wait, I’m trying to remember I don’t think there are commercials

 

[Karen-W]

Just an FYI, when NBC's platform was still NBCOlympics.com last summer there WERE commercials. I don't know that I would expect there to be no commercials, even on the $5 tier, during the Olympics.

I don't think they have the technical ability to insert commercials into the World feed. That's why we haven't been getting them until now.

 

[Frau Muller]

Nbcolympics.com live world feed from the Tokyo Olympics had commercials only at the start, when one clicked on the icon (tile) at the start. BUT in the couple of instances when I watched the replays, ads were inserted randomly, sometimes in the middle of gym routines!!!! So I learned to never miss the live feed of my fave events. Lots of caffeine intake required.

 

[maureenfarone]

I'm obsessively checking Peacock for practice cams but so far there aren't any . Has anyone seen any practice cam info?

 

[Sylvia]

Originally the first figure skating practice to be streamed was listed for Feb. 1 on this page but then disappeared (I've been checking/hoping practices would reappear here):

Another useful link (Olympics figure skating livestreams are listed in Eastern time for me - Tuesday, February 1 to Saturday, Feb. 19, 2022): https://www.nbcolympics.com/schedule/sport/figure-skating

 

[Frau Muller]

I, too, keep checking for practice cams on both Peacock and nbcolympics.com, without luck.

 

[Lara]

That doesn't mean it will be the feed that Peacock uses. But it's not looking good...

The good news based on gymnastics broadcasts is that Olly will likely keep quiet during the performances. He's fairly likeable IMO and should genuinely enjoy the job (his tweet says he's a big fan of the sport). Just be prepared for a lot of Dad-joke puns when introducing the competition.

That said even if he's followed the sport and prepared ahead of time, he can't be expected to provide expert analysis unfortunately.

 

[Karen-W]

I'm holding out hope we'll get some practice cams or warm up cams... Peacock has a link to the RD Warm Up Cam in the FS section. Keep checking, folks, to see if more links appear.

 

[jeffisjeff]

Not Peacock, but Olympics related. We don't have cable anymore, so my husband signed up for YouTube TV for the football season. We'll keep it through February for the OOOOOs. When I turned on YouTube TV yesterday, up popped the option to have it automatically record whatever Olympic sports coverage I wanted. I selected FS, and am hoping that means they will record everything regardless of what channel it actually airs on. But in any case, that was very convenient.

My constant Peacock-refreshing to see if they're showing practices is really getting in the way of getting my work done. ;-)

Yeah I thought @Karen-W Had mentioned something about peacock and practices but I went on Peacock clicked on the tabs Olympics and sports and the first thing that they list is for the team event tomorrow at 5:55 PM my time. I don’t see any thing about practice sessions

Wow the team event starts in less than 24 hours and you don’t even know who’s doing it yet?
