Sky will soon ditch one of thestreaming servicesit added in 2021.
Peacock will no longer be available on Sky Q,Sky Glassand Sky Stream from 9 January 2024, with the app removed and some of its shows made unavailable.
This will also affect Peacock content that’s currently available through Now.
To be honest, if you go into the Peacock app through a Sky device today, such as theSky Streamwe use, you’ll see a feeble collection of shows anyway. The trimming and transition has clearly already started.
But if you want to ensure you keep up to date on a show such as Below Deck, you’d best do so now as there’s no guarantee it’ll be available as part of your Sky subscription in future.

It’s always been a very different offering in the UK to the US, where the streaming service is much larger. As well as NBCUniversal shows and movies, it incorporates other programming in the States, such as content from the WWE Network, including live premium events, such as Wrestlemania.
The lack of the wider range of material meant it never really gained a reputation in the UK, and it is therefore understandable that Comcast has simply decided to integrate any NBCUniversal shows into the general Sky experience going forward.
Sky TV subscribers might be dismayed over the loss of one of the main free benefits they’ve enjoyed over the last couple of years, but the broadcaster still offers a six-month free trial ofApple TV+, free access to Discovery+, and plenty of other bonuses through its Sky VIP programme.
