NBC Universal is one of the world’s biggest media and entertainment companies publishing tens of high-quality movies and TV shows every year.

Considering that streaming has taken over the world during this past couple of years, it should come as no surprise to find out that Peacock TV is now providing live and on-demand content to users from all over the world.
Peacock TV is one of the best sources of content that you can have on your Firestick device, and this is all thanks to the fact that you will get access to a bundle of premium channels. We are talking about famous channels such as NBC, Oxygen, Telemundo, USA Network, Syfy, and the NCBH Sports channel that streams all the latest sporting events.
If you are ready to install Peacock TV on your Firestick device, then you have arrived at the right place. Today we will show you exactly how to do it and share a couple of tips and tricks that will help you get the most out of Peacock TV on Firestick.
Peacock TV – What Shows Are Available?
As previously mentioned, Peacock TV provides users with access to a bundle of premium channels where they can find entertaining content at any hour of the day. The channels become instantly available to paid subscribers. Peacock TV offers three subscription tiers, including a free version.
While the free subscription for Peacock TV offers an impressive bundle of on-demand content, it does come with a significant downside. The only way to make the subscription available for free is for Peacock TV to generate revenue by inserting ads.
The second subscription costs $4.99 per month, and it offers access to the app’s full video library. You will receive so much live and on-demand content that it’s almost impossible to watch it all. You will never get bored again.
Although, this subscription tier also includes ads. If you don’t feel like watching ads when you are using your Firestick device, which is completely understandable, you will love the premium subscription model for Peacock TV. The premium subscription costs $9.99, and it’s free of ads. That’s not the only thing you will get by paying the premium price. You are also receiving access to exclusive content that is otherwise unavailable.
Peacock TV for Firestick was packed with thousands of movies and TV shows from popular producers such as DreamWorks, Lionsgate, Universal Pictures, and Paramount ever since it launched. NBC Universal is constantly adding new content to Peacock TV that is exclusive and not available on other platforms.
To make things even more impressive, NBC Universal is also signing deals with other producers to feature their content on Peacock TV for Firestick. As a result, your “to watch list” will always be updated with all the latest movies, TV shows, and sporting events.
