“#NBC’s streaming service Peacock slammed over its Olympics coverage<\/strong>”<\/p>\n

\n

The reviews are in, and they\u2019re not very good. <\/p>\n

Customers who signed up for NBCUniversal\u2019s streaming service to watch the Tokyo Game<\/a>s are raising hell over their viewing experience even as ratings for the 2021 Olympics plummet. <\/p>\n

Subscribers to NBCU\u2019s Peacock streaming service flooded Reddit<\/a> message boards over the weekend to complain about a lack of live streaming and glitches in their commercial-free viewing, among other concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cI signed up for Peacock premium for the Olympics and I can\u2019t for the life of me figure out how to watch live. What is going on?,\u201d one user lamented.<\/a> \u201cFor all the time I spent trying to figure out how to watch after paying, I could have found pirated streams hours ago. Is it even possible?\u201d<\/p>\n

Despite advertising Peacock as the place to go for all things Olympic, Peacock is only live-streaming certain events, including gymnastics, track and field, and men\u2019s basketball, sources said. <\/p>\n

What\u2019s more, if fans missed the live stream, they may\u00a0need to wait days to catch replays of\u00a0their favorite athletes performing.<\/p>\n

The women\u2019s gymnastic all around final, for example, is set to air live on Peacock Tuesday morning 6:45 a.m. Fans who are unable to catch the early-morning finale will have to wait until July 31 for the replay, the company has said.<\/p>\n

\u201cOmg it\u2019s absolutely the worst!!!,\u201d another Reddit viewer<\/a> griped. \u201cYou would think streaming would be a godsend for the multisport olympics, but no, nbc had to go and screw it up. Nothing is on demand, i have to wait for replays at a scheduled time?!\u201d <\/p>\n

Yet another user complained of having forked over $9.99 <\/a>for an ad-free experience only to be forced to forced to watch blank screens where the commercial breaks had been.<\/p>\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been trying to watch the Olympics opening ceremony, and app<\/a>arently every time the LIVE air had commercials, you get a screen saying \u201cCoverage Will Resume Shortly\u201d on the REPLAYS. You have to Fast Forward manually to skip through them\u2026 I didn\u2019t pay an extra $5 with No Ads to get a black screen every five minutes on a REPLAY,\u201d the user griped. \u201cWhat they\u2019re doing right now is so lazy and effortless, I was EXTREMELY disappointed.\u201d<\/p>\n

\"Users
Users have had complaints about Peacock\u2019s coverage of the Olympics.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

Peacock charges users nothing for limited programming with ads; $4.99 a month for unlimited shows, replays and daily live-streamed events with ads \u2014 and $9.99 a month for unlimited ad-free programming.<\/p>\n

The gripes come as NBC over the weekend said ratings for the opening ceremony hit a 33-year low, cratering to 17 million.<\/p>\n

That spells trouble for the network \u2014 and its all-important streaming service \u2014 regardless of the live streaming and other complaints, according to media analyst Craig Moffett of MoffettNathanson<\/p>\n

\u201cNBCUniversal invested a great deal of expectations in how the Olympics would launch Peacock,\u201d the analyst said. \u201cI think the writing is already on the wall.\u201d<\/p>\n

For over a year now, Jeff Shell, who helms NBCU has positioned Peacock as a full-service hub for all things Olympics. The network pinned Peacock\u2019s launch to the 2020 Tokyo Games but the event was delayed a year due to the coronavirus pandemic. <\/p>\n

The streamer launched anyway and has had ample time to build up its inventory of profiles on Olympic athletes, vignettes on the best USA squads to grace Tokyo and to streamline its offering.<\/p>\n

\u201cAt the end of the day the Olympics are a made-for-TV event and we are in a post-TV world,\u201d Moffett said. \u201cThere are going to be some hard questions asked about whether the Olympics are ever going to achieve the kind of level of interest they had achieved in the golden era of television.\u201d <\/p>\n
