The television landscape has undergone a significant transformation in the last two decades, marked by the rise of streaming platforms. This shift has fundamentally changed how viewers consume content at home.
Amidst this evolution, NBC Universal launched Peacock, a streaming service that has expanded beyond the traditional streaming audience to include cable TV customers, notably those using Spectrum.
Understanding Peacock
Launched in July 2020, Peacock has quickly become a household name in the United States. It’s not just an online streaming platform; it’s also accessible via cable TV across the U.S. and has expanded its reach to international markets, including the UK, Ireland, Germany, Austria, and Switzerland.
Peacock stands out with its extensive library of movies, TV shows, and NBC originals, gaining popularity for streaming beloved series like “The Office” for free.

For Spectrum cable TV subscribers, accessing Peacock TV is straightforward. Spectrum offers Peacock as part of its service, allowing viewers to enjoy its content directly on their TVs.
Peacock provides three subscription tiers: the free version (with ads), Premium (more content but with ads), and Peacock Premium Plus (the ultimate ad-free experience). Spectrum users can register for Peacock TV online or link it with their TV account.
Multiple Ways to Watch Peacock TV
Peacock TV is not just limited to Spectrum; it’s available on a wide range of devices. Users can download the Peacock TV app on various smart TVs (LG, Samsung, Vizio), streaming devices (Android TV, Chromecast, Apple TV, Fire TV, Roku), and gaming consoles (Xbox, PlayStation 4).
It’s also accessible via web browsers like Chrome, Microsoft Edge, and Firefox on both Mac and Windows computers.

Unlike traditional cable channels, Peacock does not have a specific channel number on Spectrum. This is because Peacock is primarily an online platform.
However, Spectrum customers can easily download the app on their Spectrum TV and log in using their Spectrum credentials to enjoy Peacock’s content.
