We were just getting used to saying “Disney+, Hulu, and Max” streaming bundle ten times fast. But now there is a new intensive streaming bundle for us to chew over. Comcast has announced a Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV+ streaming bundle coming soon. Presumably, to compete with Warner Bros. and Disney bundle, although, is not a matter of time until the Peacock, Netflix, Apple TV+ streaming bundle and the Disney+, Hulu, and Max streaming bundle merge together into a bundle of… cable?
The Comcast bundle is leading with the important points thought. Comcast CEO Brian Roberts noted, “Those three products will come at a vastly reduced price to anything in the market today and will be available to all our customers.” That is, this new Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV+ streaming bundle will become available to all Comcast broadband, TV, and mobile subscribers.
We also know that this Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV+ streaming bundle will be called StreamSaver. Comcast has not confirmed an exact pricing or a launch date for this bundle of streamers. We will have to wait to find out what “vastly reduced” pricing means. But with these two big-name bundles juxtaposed against one another, it feels like streaming has come back to exactly the place it started from. Whether consumers will ultimately benefit or hurt from this, we don’t yet know. But we can only cross our fingers that streaming bundles at least improve the current situation.
Recent comments from Warner Bros. Discovery indicated it did not feel it needed any other streamers in its Hulu, Disney+, Max bundle. We suppose that’s why Netflix, Apple TV+, and Peacock felt they needed to make their own package. But can these streamers also bundle with one another in new bundles? We guess only time will tell.
Ultimately, we can’t wait to see what the logo for StreamSaver will be and how it will combine element of Peacock, Netflix, and Apple TV+.
