Where to watch the People’s Choice Country Awards

By
NBC

This week, country music lovers are excited about the first-ever People’s Choice Country Awards, which puts the power to honor the best country superstars in the hands of the fans themselves. And if you’re looking to find out where you can watch the People’s Choice Country Awards, then you’ve come to the right place!

NBC is the broadcast network partner for the inaugural People’s Choice Country Awards on Thursday, September 28. The event is being televised live from the Grand Ole Opry House in Nashville. Additionally, the group known as Little Big Town (pictured above: Jimi Westbrook, Karen Fairchild, Kimberly Schlapman, and Phillip Sweet) is going to be hosting the event. The biggest names in country music are in contention for the top prizes, and there will be live performances as well. Watching it on your big screen television is clearly the best option, especially during the songs. But if you’re not able to watch the People’s Choice Country Awards on television, there are streaming options as well.

Where to watch the People’s Choice Country Awards

The People’s Choice Country Awards will go live at 8 p.m. ET/7 p.m. CT/5 p.m. PT on NBC. Cable subscribers also have the option of streaming it through their providers or on NBC’s official site.

Watch the People’s Choice Country Awards live stream on Peacock TV

Peacock isn’t as popular as some of the bigger streaming services out there, but it’s a crucial addition for country music fans. That’s because it airs the ceremony while being fairly inexpensive at $6 per month. There isn’t a Peacock TV free trial but at this kind of price, it’s worth investing in the ad-supported model.

Besides the People’s Choice Country Awards, you also have the best shows on Peacock to check out. These include new favorites like Poker Face and Twisted Metal, along with the John Wick spin-off, The Continental. There are also old favorites like New Girl and The Blacklist if you feel like watching something more familiar. Besides TV shows, the best movies on Peacock are worth your time too. Recently, The Super Mario Bros. Movie has been added as well as Fast X. You can also enjoy the John Wick franchise once more, with plenty of other old hits too if you want familiarity. There’s a decent mix of content to make Peacock pretty tempting.

March Madness 2024 live stream: Where to watch the Second Round of the NCAA Tournament

After two nonstop days of basketball games, 32 teams remain in the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship. March Madness has lived up to its name as multiple double-digit seeds advanced to the Second Round. The most noteworthy upset came Thursday night when No. 14 Oakland shocked the world and defeated No. 3 Kentucky to advance to the next round. 

While Kentucky faltered, many top seeds took care of business, including all four No. 1 seeds. The defending champion No. 1 UConn Huskies remain the favorite to win the title. It will be tough to beat the Huskies at full strength. However, North Carolina, Arizona, and Iowa State could provide a formidable challenge.

March Madness 2024: Where to watch the First Round of the NCAA Tournament

For sports fans, the First Round of the 2024 NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Championship features two of the best sports days of the year. The First Round includes 32 games – 16 on Thursday and 16 on Friday – and 12-plus hours of daily coverage. If there's one guarantee in this tournament, it's this: expect the unexpected.

The UConn Huskies enter the 2024 NCAA Tournament as the favorite to repeat as National Champions. No team since Florida in the mid-2000s has won back-to-back national championships. With a 31-3 record, the Huskies are the No. 1 overall seed in the tournament and top the East Region. The three other No. 1 seeds include Houston in the South, Purdue in the Midwest, and North Carolina in the West.

Oscars live stream: Watch the 96th Academy Awards for free

The best films of 2023 will be honored at the 2024 Oscars. Also known as the 96th Academy Awards, the 2024 Oscars will feature some of the biggest and brightest stars Hollywood has to offer, including Margot Robbie, Robert Downey Jr., Emma Stone, Ryan Gosling, Lily Gladstone, Da'Vine Joy Randolph, and more. The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences will award Oscars in 23 categories, with the top prize being Best Picture. Jimmy Kimmel returns to host for the fourth time.

Oppenheimer leads the field with 13 nominations, followed by Poor Things with 11, Killers of the Flower Moon with 10, and Barbie with eight. Can Oppenheimer complete its dominant awards season run with a Best Picture prize, or can The Zone of Interest or Poor Things pull off the improbable upset?
What channel is the Oscars on?
The 2024 Oscars will air on ABC starting at a new time of 7 p.m. ET/4 p.m. PT on Sunday, March 10. This is a significant change from the regular 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT start time. However, ABC has decided to start the Oscars at 7 p.m. ET so it can air a new episode of Abbott Elementary upon the ceremony's completion at 10:30 p.m. ET/7:30 p.m. PT. This strategy is similar to how the network airing the Super Bowl airs an episode of television following the Big Game.
