I imagine Comcast has had these debates internally and decided a route.
That hasn’t been immediately clear but I saw this tweet from one of Peacock’s Senior Tech People…

I believe the plan is initially you’ll access Peacock as a section in the Sky platform app and then a standalone app will come later, with Fire TV and Google TV supported at launch


Seems to suggest on Sky and Now it’s integrated into the existing ecosystems - which would make sense given that Peacock was built off the back of them - but a stand-alone will eventually be released, which in itself raises questions about why Comcast would want two potentially competing products in the market but i guess it remains to be seen…
