2. What took so long for the Peacock app to come to Fire TV devices?
The Peacock app, which is owned by NBCUniversal, has been available on a variety of devices since its debut in April of this year. However, the app has been notably absent from Amazon’s Fire TV lineup. The wait is now over, as the Peacock app has finally arrived on Amazon Fire TV devices. There are a few likely reasons for the delay. First, NBCUniversal likely wanted to ensure that its app had a robust feature set and was on par with its other versions. Second, Amazon and NBCUniversal have had a complicated relationship in recent years, because NBCUniversal’s parent company is Comcast. With the Peacock app now available on Amazon Fire TV devices, that should help to ease some of those tensions.
