He said he’s looking forward to working with the different analysts. Benetti knows Youkilis from his half-season with the White Sox in 2012, so the analysts he will work with Sunday are much more familiar than they will be in most weeks.

But it’s somewhat reassuring to know that Peacock’s broadcasts will build in some old-school elements that should be appealing. There’s no doubt this is a complicated modern world for those who just want to turn on their television and watch the game. We hope at some point that Peacock is as ubiquitous as the pay TV ecosystem and this is a moment in time.” The pay TV bundle used to have everything, and now some of the best shows … litany of other content is spread across four or five of the biggest streamers, and sports really is no different. “In terms of the fragmentation of platforms where content can be found - sports, and I read social media like everyone else, so I understand,” said Rick Cordella, Peacock executive vice president and chief commercial office, on why fans that pay for cable might be frustrated that they need streaming services to watch some of their favorite team’s games.
