PEACOCK PRODUCT HIGHLIGHTS
Peacock’s viewing experience for the Paris 2024 Olympics will introduce industry-first interactive features that help fans navigate over 5,000 hours of live coverage throughout the Games, including all 329 medal events.
Peacock’s extensive Olympics hub will feature curated rails of live and upcoming events, dedicated in-depth hubs for every sport, medal standings, an interactive schedule, and more.
Peacock also recently unveiled three new features coming to the platform – Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock, Peacock Discovery Multiview, and Peacock Live Actions – that will help fans discover and engage with the Olympics and other live programming in new, innovative ways.
YOUR DAILY OLYMPIC RECAP ON PEACOCK
Peacock is harnessing A.I. technology to present “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock,” a first-of-its-kind, personalized experience complementing NBCUniversal’s comprehensive coverage of the Olympic Games Paris 2024.
In collaboration with Emmy Award-winning Hall of Fame announcer Al Michaels and powered by generative A.I. and A.I. voice synthesis technology, “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock” will provide fans with their customized playlist featuring highlights of the events most relevant to them from the previous day. Each compilation will feature clips from NBCU’s Olympics coverage and be narrated by a high-quality A.I. re-creation of Michaels’ voice.
“Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock” is tailored to the Olympics fan on the go and will be available to Peacock subscribers starting July 27 on all supported web browsers and on the Peacock app on select mobile and tablet devices.
To receive “Your Daily Olympic Recap on Peacock,” fans can visit the Olympic hub and Home page of Peacock starting July 27 and opt into the types of highlights they would like to see, including their three favorite sports and preferred topics, such as behind-the-scenes and backstories, top competition, viral and trending moments, and a spotlight on international teams.
The first edition, on July 27, will feature highlights from the opening ceremony. After the first full day of events on July 28, personalized versions for each individual will be available.
PEACOCK DISCOVERY MULTIVIEW
With up to 40 live events happening simultaneously, Peacock Discovery Multiview will offer an industry-first, enhanced four-view experience that helps users navigate to the most important events, with real-time on-screen descriptions from NBCU’s Olympic experts informing viewers about what is at stake, such as a medal event, an elimination risk or a first-time Olympian. In addition, a traditional Multiview experience featuring up to four matches on one screen will be available for sports such as soccer, track & field, and wrestling.
Both Multiview options will allow users to move around the screens, switch the audio, and click through to watch full screen and dive deeper into the action. Peacock will offer up to four Multiview options concurrently, allowing fans to choose what they are most excited to watch. Peacock will be the first standalone streaming app to offer a Multiview experience across smart TVs, streaming devices, web browsers, and tablets.
PEACOCK LIVE ACTIONS
Peacock Live Actions is a new interactive tool that lets fans choose their viewing journey during live and primetime coverage and follow the events they are most interested in watching. Peacock Live Actions will come to life in programming like Gold Zone, Peacock’s live whip-around show, guiding viewers to the best and most exciting moments happening during the Paris Olympic Games.
Through Peacock Live Actions on-screen prompts, fans watching Gold Zone can now choose to continue watching the live feed of a specific event instead of staying with the Gold Zone coverage. Peacock Live Actions will also allow viewers watching the NBC Primetime simulcast to add upcoming events to their “My Stuff” list to watch later.
EXPERIENCE THE PARIS 2024 OLYMPICS ON PEACOCK
In addition to these new features, Peacock will provide fans with an intuitive, easy-to-navigate Olympic destination that will allow every kind of fan – both avid and casual – to view the Olympic Games in the way that best fits their interests or timetable. Features of Peacock’s Olympics hub include:
Spotlight of the most significant live events prominently displayed at the top of the screen when fans enter the Olympics hub.
A “Browse by Sport” rail will allow fans to quickly find all live events, highlights, and replays of their favorite competitions. Fans can easily jump between different sports hubs through connected navigation at the top of their screens.
A new “Search by Star Athlete” feature will be added so fans can find live events or replays that include their favorite athletes, regardless of whether they are individual competitors or part of a team sport. As in previous Olympics, fans can also search by sport, event, and team —including country names and three-letter country codes.
An enhanced Interactive Schedule allows fans to plan their Olympics viewing day by day, join events live, watch replays, or add events to their “My Stuff” to watch later.
Up-to-date medal standings are sponsored by Delta so that fans can keep track of every country competing in Paris.
Peacock’s award-winning “Catch Up with Key Plays,” which allows fans to easily access key moments when joining an in-progress game or revisiting their favorite plays, will now be available for basketball, golf, and soccer.
For fans of a traditional lean-back watching experience, Peacock will offer three unique content offerings within the Channels feature, including:
Paris Extra 1: A team sports-focused channel featuring events such as basketball, handball, water polo, field hockey and more.
Paris Extra 2: A combat and racket sport-focused channel featuring events such as judo, taekwondo, badminton, table tennis, and more.
Best of Paris: A highlights channel that will show a reel of the best moments from every event, updating throughout each day.
