I think they have to be, NBC’s Premier League coverage via Peacock is not on the level of what ESPN does with their leagues or CBS with the Champions League. CBS and ESPN manage to cover several times more matches than NBC ever needs to and then are able to get those same games up online so that I can watch the replays. Between riding and working it’s rare I can watch European sports live.
The games aren’t up quickly enough and the Peacock app, like the NBC apps before it, is not very good in comparison to the competition.
They could do fine with having the English league on Peacock, if they get their act together. But personally I’d love to see NBC stop covering cycling and soccer (football) completely. They don’t do a good job with any of it and are well behind the other streaming services.
