Charter will give Peacock for free with some cable subscriptions next year

Charter’s Spectrum TV Select cable set up will include a free ad-helped Peacock Premium subscription next year, inestablishs Reuters. The insertition comes as Charter proclaimd today that it has achieveed a new “multi-year deal” with NBCUniversal, which owns Peacock, to retain its TV channels in Charter’s cable lineup.

Customers signing up for Spectrum cable giveings today can pick from TV Stream ($40 per month), TV Select Signature ($95 per month), or TV Select Plus ($105 per month), or one of the two Spanish language giveings for $25 or $70 per month.
