Today I noticed an interesting feature of PEACOCK.
I have added every UConn game to their My List menu item. I did this so that I could watch the recorded replay into the foreseeable future. Sorta like Hulu Live storing my recordings for nine months. I didn't know how long PEACOCK would store the replays.
Today I found out.
A message appears for every replay: 27 Days Left to Watch.
This includes tonight's game! 😲
How long is the BE/PEACOCK contract for????

Too long.
 
Since we have Peacock bundled with Spectrum here in FL, I don't think it's going to happen, however I would love them to add NBCSN to cable so I can flip between games. The other option is to go for the cloud based Spectrum box, however if your wifi goes out, no TV, and supposedly anything you "tape" (really a cloud bookmark), you cannot fwd thru commercials.
 
The worst coverage ever. By the second half, they've forgotten about the game and spend too much time talking about other things while undescribed action goes on. UConn scores a lot of its baskets after stealing the inbounds pass for a quick layup, and several times we were deprived of seeing those plays because the Peacock director insisted on putting some data chart on the screen during the inbounds play, or breaking to a shot of reacting players/coaches sitting on the bench. And for this, most viewers have to pay?

Yeah, but it's not just Peacock. (which is just NBC anyway). ESPN, SNY, PBS, they all did that. Missed live plays while showing the crowd or some graphic or a replay. Or late coming back from commercial.

Every game on peacock the talking heads are talking to each other, telling stories and I’m waiting to see who’s taking the ball so I’ll know which team was called for a foul. The heads are too busy to bother with proving information.

But. They are taking home a nice paycheck.
 
I think being able to watch a replay for a few weeks after a game is pretty good. Who wants to watch the Big East game replays more than once, anyway? I live as far from Storrs as you can get in the mainland US, but I've been able to watch every game this year. I will gladly take that, whatever the network, the distracted announcers, etc.

Almost every game is available on YouTube the next day. I’ve watched games from 1995 on YouTube.

I guess, but some of that is a function of the fact that Connecticut is blowing out opponents. Whenever that happens, whomever the commentators are, the discussion tends to drift away from the game, almost as if they feel the need to "create" interest with their discussion.

Replay shows on my guide, tonight, Tuesday, 10pm eastern on " NBCSN" channel 1211 on my Comcast cable in Conn....(not the same as Celtics local channel #60 on comcast- that's "NBCSB"... )

Honestly, other than the inconvenience of having to stream it, and having to sign up for another service, I don't mind it.

I don't love the fact that the entire big east tournament, including the championship game, was broadcast on Peacock while all, but the opening round games of the men's tournament are on the Fox network. Implicit in that would seem to be a statement that the woman's basketball tournament has less value. It does, but minimally. The last two rounds ought to have been at least on FS1. The problem is that putting the games on Peacock because there is a perception of reduced viewership becomes a self fulfilling prophecy. When this year's ratings are looked at, they will be lower because they were on Peacock rather than on a traditional cable station. That creates the possibility that future games will also be relegated to subscription services based upon the fact of what I anticipate will be lower viewership numbers this year, which intern is based upon the fact that the games weren't available on cable. Seems like a circular reasoning death spiral to me.
 
How many viewers were shut out because of the dirty bird network? My guess is that more than half the people who would have watched the Huskies in the tourney didn't because the games were on Peacock instead of national easy access tv. It ticks me off when I can watch Penelopy st play Daffy Duck U. but can't watch the Huskies.
The loss goes for the entire Big East Conf. another chance to showcase the league down the drain because A large portion of viewers were shutout because the league may have received a few more dollars from peacock. Don't know the dollars but was it worth it to the conference. I don't think so.

So you're just making up your answer concerning the thread topic, PEACOCK Replays, because now I am confused about watching PEACOCK Replays in a month.
And the majority of games between 1993 and 2022 are still on uconnhuskygames.com and therefore on YouTube.

People are going to complain about PEACOCK and it's cost. That's cool. But nobody is "praising" NBCUniversal for bringing back NBCSN and making it available to YouTubeTV subscribers in November, followed by some Xfinity subscribers (Comcast?) and I guess some Spectrum subscribers...at no additional cost.
The vast majority of tv watchers subscribe to a cable or satellite TV provider or to a streaming service. It appears to me that NBCUniversal is doing it's best to make it comparable to FoxSports and TNT Sports for no additional subscriber cost.
Hopefully by next season, Hulu Live and other TV providers will add NBCSN too.
 
So here is the question. Why don't the announcers for men's games do the same thing with non stop prattle and rattle? Because if they did they would be off the air in 10 minutes. Why do they think they need to or can do it for women's games? It's demeaning, irritating, condescending and at its heart sexist. As though they and the network are saying, the game isn't enough to keep anyone watching, we have to talk it up. Does anyone know where complaints can be sent in to Peacock?
