The Peacock app will launch on Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets tomorrow (6/24)

[Spectromixer]

NBCUniversal and Amazon just announced that Peacock will launch on Amazon Fire TV and Fire tablets in the U.S. starting on Thursday.

The Peacock app will bring thousands of hours of on-demand movies and shows, as well as live news and sports programming, to Fire TV and Fire tablet customers nationwide. I hear the announcement, which was teased on social media yesterday, is part of a larger partnership between Amazon and NBCU, with more announcements coming soon.

It's a significant breakthrough for the year-old streaming service, as Fire reaches more than 50 million U.S. households. The distribution deal fills in the last remaining gap in Peacock's distribution. NBCU recently announced a pact with Samsung, the leading smart-TV maker, and last fall reached terms with Roku, the top streaming gateway.

lol I just finished an office rewatch yesterday and had to stream it off my phone the whole time and id say 60% of the time it didnt even work. Now Ill probably never use this app again until I rewatch the office again. Thats some unfortunate timing.

I was able to sideload Peacock to my fire stick, but it'll be nice to get updates directly instead of having to mess around.

There we go! I was wondering why they were taking so long on announcing this today.
