Peacock: Is It Worth the Download?
Peacock has entered the streaming wars. The NBC platform launched last week and boasts of over 20,000 hours of shows, sports, and movies. But the question we have is, is it worth the download? Is it really worth downloading another app and possibly paying another subscription?
What to Know
There are 3 Tiers – Free, Paid ($5), & Paid+ ($10)
One of the things that makes Peacock stand out from the crowd is that it offers a free plan. It’s a nice little break from having to shell out more money for another streaming service that you may or may not use. The free plan has commercials of course, but that’s understandable. The free plan also offers a lot of content, but if you want more, you have to sign up for the paid version. The paid version unlocks all the content Peacock has to offer. Want all the content but no ads? Peacock has you covered, but you gotta pay $5 more.
Live Streaming Channels
Another stand-out feature is Peacock’s streaming channels. These are not network streams, but more specialized ‘themed’ streams much like PlutoTV. For example, they have channels that stream clips from The Office, SNL, and even Bob Ross. It’s a nice little addition to the service.
Not Available on Roku or Amazon Fire TV
This is very unfortunate. Just like HBO Max, Peacock did not secure a deal with Roku or Amazon before launch. Roku and Amazon make up most of the streaming devices in America, so there is a good portion of the population that won’t be able to access the app on their TVs at the time. We hope a deal gets in place soon.
So, is it worth it?
It’s doesn’t hurt to keep the free plan. The streaming channels are great. However, the paid version may not be worth the money at this time. However, it does have way more to offer than AppleTV+, but that’s another story…

5 Show Highlights from 2015
2015 was a big year for us…or should we say…YOUGE. While there are way too many standout moments to talk about, we posted five of our favorites below. We hope you enjoy them!
5. Gingo!
This year, Eric started a new game that we just can’t get enough of. Just when you thought you knew everything, along comes Glingo!, to test your knowledge of gay lingo. Think you have what it takes to win a game of Glingo! and win the honor of being Gay for the Day? Check out the games’ debut on the show:
4. B-Hamp on the show
Hamp has been a friend of the show for years but has not been in studio since 2011. That all changed in September when, Mr. Ricky Bobby himself, walked through our doors. It’s always a great time when he’s on the show, and this was no different. Check out the show below:
3. Alexis – Bobby’s Superfan
This year, we met Bobby’s “superfan” Alexis. She wrote him for months and Michael finally arranged for her to come to the studio to surprise Bobby. This is what happened:
2. I Don’t Know My Daddy
You never know what’s going to happen when you’re out on the street! After talking to dozens of people at a park for Father’s Day, one girl makes Chris Sapphire speechless…which is very hard to do. Check it out:
1. Flesh-n-Bone of Bone Thugs-n-Harmony
Sitting down with a hip-hop pioneer was certainly one of the most, if not THE most, biggest highlights of 2015. Flesh gave us a incredible one hour interview and you can hear it all below:
We’re looking forward to what is to come in 2016!
