"Peacock plans to start posting episodes of Saturday Night Live UK eight hours earlier, at 1 p.m. ET/10 a.m. PT, starting this weekend. This change addresses viewer frustration over the previous 9 p.m. ET release time on Sundays."
"The decision to not livestream SNL UK was made to prevent potential conflict or confusion with the American SNL, even though the latter was in reruns last weekend."
Peacock will begin streaming Saturday Night Live UK episodes at 1 p.m. ET, eight hours earlier than previously scheduled. Initially, U.S. viewers had to wait until 9 p.m. ET on Sundays to watch the full episode. The delay was due to Peacock's decision to avoid conflicts with the American SNL. Peacock had previously announced its acquisition of U.S. streaming rights and expressed excitement about the show, but did not provide specific airing times until shortly before the premiere.
