NBC's Peacock finally arrives on Roku two months after launch

When Peacock launched in mid-July, it was notably absent from Roku, Fire TV, and some smart TV platforms including Samsung's, which all carry other popular video streaming apps like Netflix, Hulu, and CBS All Access. For now, Peacock is still not available on those latter two platforms.

Following the deal, viewers can expect Peacock and other NBC apps to start appearing on Roku in the coming weeks.
