Is Peacock Worth Keeping?

Peacock's main draws:

• Live sports: Premier League, NFL Sunday Night Football, some WWE events
• NBC next-day content: Shows from NBC, Bravo, USA Network
• Originals: Limited but some hits (Poker Face, Bel-Air, The Traitors)
• Classic Universal movies: But many rotate to other platforms

If you don't watch live sports or Bravo reality shows, you can safely cancel. Most NBC shows eventually appear on other platforms or are available on the free Peacock tier.

The Streaming Rotation Strategy

Instead of paying for 5+ streaming services year-round ($60-100/month), rotate:

• Month 1: Netflix — binge your list, cancel
• Month 2: Max — catch up on HBO shows, cancel
• Month 3: Disney+/Hulu bundle — watch what accumulated, cancel
• Month 4: Peacock — only if a specific show or sports season is active, cancel after
• Savings: $15/month rotating vs. $60/month maintaining all = $540/year saved
