NBCUniversal officially took the wraps off its Peacock streaming service back in January and kicked off a limited release for Comcast and Cox customers in April. Now with the full launch arriving soon on July 15, NBC has detailed that Peacock will be available directly through the Apple TV app.
NBCUniversal shared the news in a press release today that both the free and paid tiers of Peacock will be available across Apple devices in the Apple TV app as well as the standalone Peacock iOS/tvOS app.
While there’s no specific mention of Apple TV Channels support, it sounds like the free Peacock tier is integrated with the TV app and the paid tiers are available as Apple TV Channels.

Peacock Premium will be available in two tiers: $4.99 per month with advertisements and $9.99 per month with no ads.

One nice detail is that Peacock will include a maximum of 5 minutes of ads per hour.
