Reply to comment by snarefire in NBC’s Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade Scores Its Most Viewers in 5 Years With Streams on Peacock (27.7M Viewers) by MarvelsGrantMan136

That’s dumb. Must be licensing issues or something more extraordinarily stupid.

Peacock has always had issues with live streaming sports, so this doesn't surprise me. I know soccer had similar issues. For the longest time WWE PLEs were like how you described.

If you missed out on the start you couldn't start from the beginning. You had to join live and wait for the event to finish to catch up on what you missed. They eventually fixed it.

So I don't think it was licensing issues. Peacock just sucks when it comes to live event playback.

I wouldn't be surprised if the executives in charge, dont give a rats ass that its streaming based, and demanded that it be treated like any other cable channel.
