NBCUniversal could move up launch of Peacock streaming service

With millions of Americans at home under 'shelter-in-place' orders, NBCUniversal is evaluating an earlier launch date for its Peacock streaming service.

While current Comcast customers will be able to access the platform starting on Wednesday, Peacock’s national launch is still slated for July 15 — though Strauss hinted that date could change.

“There is a lot that has changed in the market and in the world, and this has had an impact,” Strauss said. Peacock will include a library of content from NBCUniversal, including"Jurassic Park,""The Office," and early access to Jimmy Fallon’s “The Tonight Show."
