great Allen Iverson Viewers of an NBC Sports Thursday telecast of an NFL game between the Detroit Lions and the Kansas City Chiefs will see a new ad starring NBA great Allen Iverson - or “A.I.,” as he's called in the spot - who helps people understand that “Peacock has the most live sports of any streamer.”

Ads come with the free and Premium plans of Peacock TV. If you want to get rid of them, you're encouraged to upgrade to the Premium Plus subscription. However, there's one thing to note – the Premium Plus plan still has a limited number of ads displayed due to streaming rights.

Upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus The most convenient way to block ads on Peacock TV is to upgrade to the Peacock Premium Plus plan.

You can't skip advertisements on Peacock, but you can upgrade to Peacock Premium Plus to watch with limited interruptions.

On September 17, 2019, NBCUniversal announced the service would be called Peacock and is expected to launch in July 2020. NBCUniversal Content Studios was formed in October 2019 with Hammer as chairman and George Cheeks as vice chairman, who was co-chairman of NBC Entertainment.

Kelly Campbell Peacock tries to separate itself from streaming's “sea of sameness” through exclusive streaming NFL games, collaboration with NBCUniversal's linear programming and marketing that goes beyond “big paid media,” said Kelly Campbell, president of Peacock and direct-to-consumer.

To access all of the content Peacock has to offer, you can sign up for a Peacock Premium subscription at $5.99 a month (+tax) or $59.99 per year (+tax).

Peacock is one of the cheaper big media streamers out there - that's a fat check in the “good” column. The $5.99 a month Premium plan (with ads) gets you access to 80,000 hours of content, including many NBC, Bravo, and Syfy favorites. Overall, we think Peacock is a worthwhile addition to your streaming apps lineup.

You can block ads on Peacock TV with Ghostery Ad Blocker Extension, a free and powerful tool that protects your privacy and enhances your browsing experience. By using Ghostery, you and your family can enjoy Peacock TV with no ads, regardless of your subscription plan.

The basic Peacock service is totally free, and there's no trial period. You don't even have to enter any credit card information to sign up as you often do to get free trials like the Hulu free trial. Just use your email address to create your account and you're ready to stream.

Peacock has three tiers: a limited one that's free, an all-inclusive one that's $5 a month with ads and an all-inclusive one that's $10 a month without ads. The free tier limits how much you can watch. For example, Peacock offers only select episodes of its originals free, withholding the rest inside its paywall.

Peacock's Free tier includes 7,500 hours of ad-supported programming, including next-day access to episodes of first-year NBC shows, as well as a rotating lineup of classic films and television series.
