Peacock added 4 million paid subscribers this quarter.
That’s an 80 percent increase over the same time last year, bringing Peacock’s total subscriber base to 28 million in the US. Comcast started making Xfinity subscribers pay for Peacock in June, which likely has something to do with the increase in paid members.
Peacock revenue jumped $830 million as well, reflecting the service’s subscriber growth and its recent price hike that brought the ad-supported plan to $5.99 and the ad-free plan to $11.99.
Disclosure: Comcast, which owns NBCUniversal, is also an investor in Vox Media, The Verge’s parent company.
