News Summary:

Peacock is aggressively expanding its platform beyond traditional streaming, integrating AI-driven video experiences, pioneering vertical-format live sports, and deepening its interactive gaming portfolio to capture mobile-centric viewers. On March 13, the NBCUniversal-owned service announced it is adding several AI-powered features to its mobile app, including vertical NBA broadcasts, a personalized Bravo video hub, and an in-app Jeopardy trivia game designed to enhance viewer engagement and create a mobile entertainment hub. The service plans to roll out a beta this spring for live-action vertical video clips from NBA games on mobile, utilizing AI to crop and follow the play in real time. This strategic move follows a report on March 13 by Apptopia, which indicated Peacock experienced a double-digit percentage reduction in retaining new smartphone customers in the United States after the Winter Olympics concluded, highlighting the challenge of maintaining interest post-major athletic events. Earlier the same day, Peacock revealed its intention to introduce an AI-generated version of Andy Cohen to serve as a virtual host on its platform for Bravo's franchises.
