Peacock subscribers will see ads immediately upon opening the streaming app or website next year. It\u2019s a bold new strategy for attracting advertisers\u2014something that\u2019s been increasingly important to subscription-based streaming services\u2014but it also risks alienating viewers<\/p>\n

As reported by Variety<\/a>, the new type of ads will display on the profile selection page that shows when a subscriber launches Peacock. Starting next year, instead of the profile page just showing your different Peacock profiles, most of the page will be dominated by an advertorial image. The circles of NBCUniversal-owned characters selected for user profiles will be relegated to a vertical column on the screen\u2019s left side, as you can see here<\/a>.<\/p>\n

To avoid seeing what NBCUniversal is calling \u201cArrival Ads\u201d every time you open Peacock, you need to subscribe to Peacock\u2019s most expensive plan, which is ad-free and starts at $17 per month (Peacock\u2019s ad-based plans start at $8\/month.)<\/p>\n
