Peacock‘s ad-free Premium Plus offering joined Prime Video last year, and now US customers can sign up on the Roku Channel to stream seasons of Love Island USA, live sports and more.
Like with Prime Video‘s add-on subscriptions, the new Roku Channel premium subscription is an alternative to getting Premium Plus directly through Peacock. The price is the same, at $17 per month or $170 per year, but you can watch all your premium Roku subscriptions with a single sign-in on your Roku device, mobile app or the web.
The goal is for premium subscribers to have an experience that makes it easier to find and watch shows and movies without having to keep track of multiple apps, accounts and logins, according to Gil Fuchsberg, Roku president of subscriptions, partnerships and corporate development.
Roku is introducing its first Cloud DVR features alongside the Peacock launch. Now, when you watch live sports content from NBCUniversal’s streaming service, you can pause or replay it.
Roku and NBCUniversal’s existing partnership already includes the Peacock app and free ad-supported channels on Roku. If you’re looking for even more ways to sign up for Peacock, there’s also the Apple TV and Peacock bundle, which offers the pair at a reduced price and is available directly through Apple TV, Peacock or Prime Video. You can also sign up for one of Peacock’s cheaper plans outside of Prime Video or Roku.
