On Tuesday, Peacock announced a joint-custody agreement forthe streaming rights toModern Family.

The long-running ABC comedy will stream on Peacock and Hulu starting next month.

So, its kind of an ecosystem.

Thats the good news for Peacock.

But similar statements were made last March, weeks before the 2020 Games were pushed to 2021.

It would be absolutely devastating, he said.

My take is not quite that apocalyptic.

First, lets be clear, theres still a chance the Games could go forward in some form.

But even if the Games end up being nixed, Peacock wont suddenly be Quibid into extinction.

Since then, not much progress has been made getting such deals done.

But so far, only Comcast Xfinity and Cox Contour customers currently have long-term free access to Peacock.

If it all sounds a bit convoluted, well, it sort of is.

Over at Apple, meanwhile, there wasnt a whole bunch of talk about Apple TV+s performance.
