The Positives About Days Of Our Lives’ Move To Peacock

Days of Our Lives fans are still adjusting to the idea that the show won’t air on traditional NBC broadcast stations anymore starting September 12. Instead, you can stream it on NBC’s streaming channel Peacock starting that day.

Days Of Our Lives Spoilers – DAYS Fans Are Gun Shy

Many current DOOL fans remember when All My Children and One Life to Live began streaming on Hulu a decade ago, but that was a completely different situation. First, those shows had already been canceled and needed a reboot.

DAYS will not be doing that as it will transition from NBC on September 9 to Peacock on September 12 without any interruption in the story. Nothing will change except for where you can watch it. And remember, streaming has come a long way since then and is becoming the primary way people consume television.

Other fans are thrilled by the move and the willingness of NBC to keep the soap alive but in a 21st-century way.

DOOL Spoilers – Ken Corday Sees A Peacock Future For DOOL

One person who is especially thrilled is the show’s executive producer, Ken Corday. DAYS has been a part of his life for as long as he can remember as his parents, Ted and Betty Corday, created it in 1965 and Ken Corday even acted as the show’s musical director in the early 1980s before taking over the producer role.

“We have to make NBC happy and the viewers happy,” Corday said in the August 30, 2022, issue of Soap Opera Digest. “There’s trepidation because this is a big chance but it’s still going to be the same DAYS you know and love and it will be better in some ways.”

Corday notes that there are fewer commercials on Peacock, so the show will be longer. It will also be able to write scripts without broadcast rules and get a little more daring with what can be seen and said. For now, DAYS tapes so far ahead that we won’t be seeing any of these new elements until early 2023.

“This is not the end of an era,” Corday insisted. “It’s the beginning of another era. This is the best part of the job for me, these exciting, pioneering times, making changes like this and trying to keep everything positive.”
