Peacock TV

I am curious if someone who lives in the streaming world can answer this question. This is one of the things that I am not sure of on completely cutting the cord. Take a look at the Open coverage next weekend. There is streaming coverage on Peacock in the early morning and then there is streaming coverage on Peacock when it is on NBC. But the time it is on USA Network, it appears that that there is no Peacock simulcast - only special feeds and following key groups. How would you watch the USA Network coverage if you were in just the streaming world? Or am I misreading the chart and USA Network coverage is on Peacock?

the nice thing about streaming is if something is REALLY important to you, you can just sign up for a month (or get a limited free trial) for the period in which you want to watch. a 7 day YTTV trial will fit nicely into that 4 day weekend

Thanks for the info on this. I still have Dish, but once ESPN launches their DTC product, it will really make me think twice because so much of what I watch is sports. But there are these one offs that I don't have to worry about with the cable bundle.

I sub to Peacock. Looking ahead it appears that they will provide the entire Open over 2 days, the 17th and 18th. That includes the USA coverage.
I should qualify that. I believe Sports on Peacock now requires a Premium Plus sub. That gives you ad free, sports, and your local NBC channel.

Yes, I was just coming back to point that out. So you will be able to watch sporting events with the Premium level.

Just my point here. WWE Smackdown, which is on USA, has no streaming option on peacock. And to top it off, the full episodes are a month behind on there. I forget but I think NASCAR is the same way when they're on USA (they're not on USA until a few weeks from now).
