Cable cutters, rejoice

Netflix appears to be killing off it's cheapest ad-free plan and pushing people to an ad-supported plan.


Advertising money beats the hell out of subscription fees. I'm still fully expecting ad-free television to be a thing of the past within the next few years. Glad I have my DVD player.

Just saw an email that Peacock prices are increasing. Seriously...what isn't increasing in price nowadays???

For basic 'Premium', up $2 / month from $6 to $8; or up $20 / year from $60 to $80.

Between Indy, IMSA, and golf, we average 5 Peacock viewings a month. I spend more than $8 on Diet Pepsi every WEEK. The increased price is still reasonable to me, although I appreciate Peacock reminding me of the discounted annual rate. Now that it looks like I'm keeping it, it's probably time I switched from monthly billing.

Oh yeah, I’ll stick with it at least through the end of the year until WWE moves to Netflix. Not sure I’ll stay after that unless NASCAR moves to peacock in some form.

It occurred to me this morning that the timing of this price change and the start date of the Olympics might be more than coincidence.

Or not. Just a stray thought.

The new NBA deal is probably going to cause a decent rate bump next fall as well. $8 isn’t bad for now, and I do use it for stuff outside of IMSA and IndyCar (which is going away anyways), but I do wonder how much higher it’ll reach. ESPN+ doubled from $5-6 to $11 pretty quickly recently. I’ll say Peacock is usually pretty good about special rate offers though.

NBC has made NASCAR their anchor programming for USA it seems.
