Whats spurring this? Olympics are over for two years. Parks and Rec re-runs and Days of Our Lives don’t have enough viewers to justify this price increase.

I bet it could be the sports.

" NFL Sunday Night Football, the NBA, WNBA, Premier League, college football and basketball "

Peacock has the Office locked up and that is basically the most streamed thing ever to exist. Idk what the average number of times streamers watch it is but I can tell you that I have rewatched it in its entirety well over 500 times. Were mentally unwell. I know every single line and will still watch it. I will let Peacock rake me over the coals for whatever they want

At least in return they give me the Paddy Power World Darts Championship

This was my exact reaction until I opened the article to see a bunch of half naked people. Does Peacock have a bunch of reality TV shows? I remember when HBO and Discovery merged and thinking it was ridiculous, specifically with Discovery's reality programming.

Clearly, assuming I'm right, reality TV has a bigger consumer base than I realized.
