Peacock Productions was a long-form production unit of NBC News. The division, established on July 15, 2007, primarily produced one-off factual programs and specials, airing across both NBCUniversal and third-party networks. Peacock served as an incubator for new production technologies that have later been adopted by NBC News, such as tapeless recording.[1]
The studio was shut down on March 2, 2020, with NBC News citing changes to its strategies on documentaries.
