Is Peacock failing considered a given by the public at large? At the Golden Globes this year, Nikki Glaser said: “Eddie Redmayne did TV this year. He’s nominated for Peacock’s The Day of the Jackal. It’s about a top-secret elite sn---r who no one can see — because he’s on Peacock.” Her joke got a big pop and laughs. Does that mean most of Hollywood have given up on Peacock, and now the entertainment consuming public is being taught to think the same way?
IMHO, NBCU/Peacock did great with the Paris 2024 Olympics, but at a financial loss. I think NBCU/Comcast has given up on Peacock ever catching up to Netflix or Amazon Prime, so they are placing large bets on sports programming. I am not sure things like the NBC deal is enough, and Peacock cannot afford more NFL games. So, what can Peacock do to reverse this negative perception out there?
Ironically, Nikki Glaser has a series names "Welcome Home Nikki Glaser?" on Peacock. Maybe she wishes it was elsewhere due to poor performance on the platform?
