Peacock Pulls Plug on Premium Plus Add-On, Making Ad-Free More Expensive For Some
In a move that’s ruffling feathers among bargain-hunting streamers, Peacock has announced it’s discontinuing its monthly Premium Plus add-on, a popular hack for scoring ad-free viewing on the cheap. The change, detailed in emails sent to subscribers this week, is forcing users who paired the add-on with discounted annual plans—especially Black Friday deals—to make tough choices. The news has sparked frustration among cord-cutters who mastered the art of combining promotions to enjoy ad-free Peacock at a fraction of the usual cost.
