For now WMAQ, WTVJ, WBTS and WCAU will have local news feeds on the Peacock app.


Peacock announced today the expansion of local news content on the platform with channels from its NBC owned television stations in several major markets. Beginning today, all users have 24/7 free access to the coverage from NBC 5 Chicago (WMAQ), NBC 10 Philadelphia (WCAU), NBC10 Boston (WBTS) and New England Cable Network (NECN), and NBC 6 Miami (WTVJ). News channels from NBC 4 New York (WNBC) and NBC 4 Los Angeles (KNBC) will be available to stream for free in the months ahead.

The new channels titled NBC Chicago News, NBC Philadelphia News, NBC Boston News and NBC South Florida News offer Peacock subscribers around-the-clock access to comprehensive, local news coverage. Each channel features simulcast and encore news programming, along with breaking news and original content produced by its NBC station’s local news operations. The lineups deliver news, weather, sports, investigative reporting, lifestyle content and storytelling.

Three of them actually launched today with this announcement...
  • NBC Dallas-Forth Worth
  • NBC Washington, D.C.
  • NBC Connecticut
These were previously unavailable and were not available on Peacock. The Boston one is still exclusive to Peacock as that one has yet to migrate over to the Roku one. KNTV San Jose and KNSD San Diego are the last two left yet to have launched a 24-hour streaming local news channel of their own.
 
Boston was only exclusive to Peacock. Not anymore.

The Roku Channel is the first one to have ALL LIVE NBC O&O news streams on there. Not even Peacock has them all.
