Following other streamers like Amazon Prime Video and AppleTV+, it has been announced that it is venturing into live streaming events with a comedy special.
Chris Rock spoke at the National Board of Review's annual awards ceremony.
Rock will be the first artist to perform live on the streaming service in a special that will air around the world in early 2019.
Amazon Prime Video started airing Thursday night football games this year, Apple TV+ began streaming Friday night baseball games, and Peacock has many live TV channels.
It was reported last week that the streaming service was in talks to get the rights to stream Formula One and the World Surf League, as well as other live sporting events.
Other streaming services are adding live streaming to their offerings. This month it launched its cheaper tier for $6.99 a month, with Disney following suit with a basic package that costs $7.49 a month. Peacock currently has a free subscription with ads when he subscribes to the new Discovery+ service. At the end of the third quarter, the company reported its first subscriber losses in a decade. In a bid to invest in its original series, like Disney does, we will see a reality show based off of Squid Game and a virtual reality game based off ofStranger Things. Amazon Prime Video has made a lot of money from live sports. It averaged more than 13 million viewers in its first week.
A total of 222.09 million dollars. Last month, the company reported how many subscribers it had. The company said last week that it had 95 million subscribers. Disney+ has more than 160 million followers. One year ago, the company was trading at around $682 a share.
After months of decline, the streaming service has added over 2 million new subscribers.
The cheaper ad-supported tier will launch on November 3.
A streaming service will combine the two.
Disney+ will launch a cheaper ad-supported tier in December.
