\n Peacock is the latest streaming platform to get a price hike, and the first for the NBCUniversal service since launching in summer 2020.<\/p>\n

\n The studio said existing Peacock subscribers will see the price for the Premium service rise by $1 a month to $5.99, starting on August 17. And the Premium Plus tier \u2014 which offers viewers mostly no ads, episode download<\/a>s and live, local NBC channels \u2014 will increase by\u202f$2 monthly to $11.99.\u202f\u00a0<\/p>\n

\n The price hike, which will also impact new customers, follows Peacock subscriber figures hitting nearly 22 million in the first three months of 2023, up 60 percent year-over-year. NBCUniversal said the price change will allow \u201cPeacock to continue to invest in the best user experience and the highest-quality content while remaining competitive in the marketplace.\u201d<\/p>\n

\n The studio noted that, since its launch, Peacock has added over 80,000 hours of content, including exclusive movies<\/a> from Universal Filmed Entertainment Group, new NBC and Bravo episodes launching the day after going to air on linear channels, streaming channels from Hallmark and Reelz, and daily morning news<\/a> from CNBC and MSNBC.<\/p>\n

\n Against that content offering, NBCUniversal has seen Peacock\u2019s start-up losses continue amid a recent industrywide focus on efforts to boost profitability. Even with the price change, NBCUniversal has forecast 2023 will represent peak losses \u2014 about $3 billion \u2014 for Peacock as the Comcast division transitions to streaming.<\/p>\n

\n Paramount Global\u00a0also raised the monthly subscription price for its rebranded streaming service\u00a0Paramount+ with Showtime\u00a0in the third quarter of 2023 after Paramount+ posted strong subscriber gains thanks to such hit content as\u00a0Top Gun: Maverick<\/em>. The cost of the advertising-free premium streaming plan rose from $9.99 per month for Paramount+ to $11.99 for Paramount+ with Showtime. <\/p>\n

\n And Warner Bros. Discovery unveiled a monthly price hike for Max to $15.99 per month. That followed services such as\u00a0Disney+,\u00a0Netflix,\u00a0Apple TV+\u00a0and Amazon\u2019s Prime Video raising their monthly prices by $2 to $3, signaling the end of a honeymoon period when entertainment companies, fully aware of the competitive streaming landscape in front of them, were willing to price their streamers low to attract subscribers.\u00a0<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\n
