NBCUniversal says its video-streaming service Peacock will launch nationally in July, as planned, even though just a handful of its original series will be ready.
The service was meant to have a mix of originals, classic shows and movies, and current NBC programming.
Peacock is rolling out to Comcast customers starting Wednesday as a sort of test before the national launch.
NBC is pitching Peacock as a free, ad-supported streaming option amid a slew of new online video services that compete with market giant Netflix, including Disney Plus, Apple TV Plus and the upcoming HBO Max.
