We need to start campaign against advertisers on Peacock games - let them know they are helping take away viewers and this will impact their business. When advertisers stop they will get more but cost for ads will go down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even gotten free trials of fubo, downloaded apps, got up at absurd times to see London games, etc. But this game isn't on LOCAL ROCHESTER MARKET because piddly little peacock is trying a money grab. All the other "exclusives" had free trials, were simulcast on a real network, or even in the case of prime- everyone already has it. But peacock, tiny little bullschitt peacock with nothing worthwhile to offer? The NFL not only isn't afraid, they actively don't like us. So I can't. I just can't. Sure, I could afford the subscription; but I can't positively reinforce negative behavior by the NFL trying yet another way into fans' pockets. They will take our tax money to build the brand new stadium for a billionaire, but we can't even watch the effing game. Pathetic. Sadly, this is just the beginning. I'm sorry they did this to you, and I don't blame you for not paying them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have you tried the CTV app? Canadian broadcaster carries every Bills game. Just go to their free website, voila. Or just use Dazone. Free. I'm glad Peacock has this game. It's worth a lot of $$ to the NFL and our teams. That way, we get a new awesome player next year. Thanks Peacock!!

Congress actually held that over their head and that is what ultimately ended local blackouts for non-sellout games...told them they could either end blackouts or they would open up an inquiry to talk about eliminating their monopoly...NFL caved. Fans won. Can actually thank NY Senator Chuck Schumer as he was one of the main people getting after the NFL about it and since he was the head of a very important committee related to that sort of stuff, the NFL did not want to make an enemy of him.

transplantbillsfan Posted December 19, 2023 Share Posted December 19, 2023 No clue if Peacock is still having the deal, but on Black Friday I got Peacock for $2 per month for a full year and can cancel at any time. So I technically paid $2 to watch the game. But honestly, there are some movies and shows on there I'll watch, anyway. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spoiler: the whopping eight people who really take a stand here will in fact not change anything going on with these streaming services. I’d pay more for a single beer at the game than paying for Peacock (which, by the way, has some pretty stellar content as far as the services go). 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They don't have the devices and cannot afford to purchase the devices nor capability of using the technology, I have offered to buy a pad for an elderly relative and she said she tried to use one at senior center and was unable to. She still lives at home at 85 and was even hired by senior center to help part time but modern devices difficult for seniors. Do you think senior living centers across the country are going to join Peacock for a month? NFL probably does not care for they do not buy gear (although I bought her a scarf) or buy most of items advertised during commercials.
