News came out today that WWE Network was sold to NBC for exclusive streaming on their Peacock platform.

What does that mean? If you're an Xfinity cable or internet only subscriber (through their flex box), you get Peacock premium (the one with ads) for free, or $5/month for non-xfinity subscribers. $10/month get the ad-free version. Essentially, you get WWE and Peacock for half price with this bundle, if not free. For me, this is gonna save me $10/month. WWE Network is worth that price alone for the PPVs and everything else is just gravy. Now it's all free (sort of)!
Right now I have youtubetv because they were the least expensive platform that had the NFL Redzone channel on. Now that football season is over, I cancelled the sports package kept the tv, and I've noticed I never watch the traditional cable channels except for WWE Raw and MNF during the season.
Can someone tell me of a show that currently airs on a cable channel that is must see? The last one I watched was Vikings on History, and that is available on Prime and Hulu. I used to watch a lot of Comedy Central, now there's nothing worth watching on it. What happened to all the stand up specials? I don't watch cable news, Nick, or Disney. The movies that are TNT, FX, etc are all on the streaming platforms. My other interest is Discovery, which now has it's own platform that I'm considering.
In other words, I'm paying $65 plus tax a month to watch one episode of wrestling a week jam packed with ads or 16 MNF games.
Right now, my services on top of the internet price are:
Disney Plus
Amazon Prime
HBO Max (worth it for the movies)
WWE Network (free in a couple months)
Discovery Plus (maybe)
Youtube premium (in the event I want to watch cable news snippets or something random).
Hulu (which is free for me b/c I'm with Sprint)
All that for just above a hundred a month. WWE Raw condensed version is available on Hulu next day, and between that, the network, and youtube, I should get my fix there. So that leaves ESPN for MNF. I guess worst case is signing up for youtubetv again, but I'll cross that bridge when I get there. Who knows where that and NFL Redzone stand at that time.
Phew, that was longer than I wanted it to be lol. The transition is real, tho.
