So, it seems equally if Peacock is finally coming to Burn down Idiot box, and while nosotros've been waiting nigh a twelvemonth, the timing couldn't exist amend. The Tokyo Olympics starting time on July 24, and while they're not exclusive to Peacock, it's the service's biggest consequence this side of WrestleMania.

Why have nosotros waited for Peacock on Burn TV?

As y'all may have guessed, Amazon and NBCU simply could not concord to the terms of Peacock on Fire Telly. (A similar state of affairs happened with HBO Max on Roku and Fire Tv set when that service launched.) Variety reported that it's all near money ... and perks.

Variety's sources claimed that Fire TV and Roku are asking for more than just the standard cut of the subscription and sign-up fees. Supposedly, they want costless content for Amazon's IMDb Television and The Roku Aqueduct, in addition to specific terms around advertising inventory.

Of course, none of that matters much for the consumer, who just loses and has to wait while the lawyers and executives can agree on things.
