NBCUniversal is building on the Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade this year with the introduction of a new feature: the chance to watch the annual programming in Peacock’s three-angle Mulitivew option, including a livestream positioned right on the main float itself.

The 99th annual parade’s broadcast will be begin Nov. 27 at 8:30 a.m. in all time zones across NBC and streamer Peacock with Wicked star Cynthia Erivo performing the opening number and “Today” show staple’s Savannah Guthrie, Hoda Kotb and Al Roker returning as hosts for the event, which last year drew a record 31.7 million viewers.

This marks the first time Peacock has offered Multiview for a live entertainment special.





Peacock subscribers will be able to utilize Mulitview to see the 99th annual “Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade” events from three different camera angles:

- Traditional Programming (primary view):

The Parade as fans know and love it will feature commentary from NBC hosts, live performances, and more.



- Float View:

Ride aboard the classic Tom the Turkey float through the streets of Manhattan and truly feel like a part of the Parade.



- High-Rise View:

Get a bird’s eye view of all the excitement from high above the parade route.





“The Macy’s Thanksgiving Day Parade is the perfect moment for Multiview, allowing fans to catch never-before-seen viewpoints along the parade route, alongside the iconic floats and live performances,” said Matt Strauss, Chairman, NBCUniversal Media Group.

“Finding ways to enhance how our audiences enjoy our beloved programming and deliver unique viewing experiences and features is central to how we continue to raise the bar for live streaming on Peacock.”
