EXCLUSIVE: Reason Peacock Is Taking So Long To Upload Content (Patreon)

Last month the WWE Network in the United States migrated to Peacock. As of April 4th, Peacock became the exclusive place for WWE Network content in the United States but not everything has migrated over yet. It was stated that the plan is for everything to hopefully be added by SummerSlam in August but with no explanation why.

We at PWUnlimited have been told that the reason for everything not just being uploaded right away to Peacock has to do with commercial breaks. As you know there are multiple versions of Peacock. There is free, with ads for $4.99, and ad-free for $9.99. The reason ads are making it longer to add content to Peacock is because they have to go through every piece of content and set the time codes for when the commercial breaks are supposed to take place on the service if you do not pay for no ads. This information was not attached to the content previously since the original WWE Network did not have to worry about ad breaks.

If you have noticed, all new content is being created is created with commercials in mind. With RAW Talk and Talking Smack, we now see the host send the show to break between guests, when before the show would flow smoothly between guests before the move to Peacock. Even with the newest Broken Skull Sessions, you can see where the ad breaks are supposed to be even if you pay for no ads with the fade out and fade in to break.

It is also known that Peacock is going through content editing and even deleting some that they feel is too sensitive or mature for their service.
