Peacock Adds ION, Court TV, and 4 Other Scripps Channels

After losing its Hallmark channels and WWE content, Peacock was on the lookout for more TV to bulk up its now-more-expensive streaming service. It plugged those holes with 6 channels from The E.W. Scripps Company: ION, ION Mystery, Bounce, Court TV, Court TV Legendary Trials, and Scripps News.

The headliner in this group is ION. It was the 8th most-watched English language TV channel in 2024 thanks to its mix of popular procedural drama reruns and sports.

You don’t need to pay for Peacock to get ION, however. ION is widely available on free streamers like Google TV, Plex, Pluto TV, Roku Channel, Samsung TV Plus, Sling Freestream, Tubi, and Xumo Play. You may also be able to access it for free with an antenna.

ION’s TV lineup includes:

• Magnum P.I.
• Blue Bloods
• Bones
• Chicago Fire
• Chicago P.D.
• Criminal Minds
• NCIS: Los Angeles
• Law & Order: Special Victims Unit

ION is also home to WNBA games on Friday nights and National Women’s Soccer League (NWSL) on Saturday nights.

Here is the full list of channels coming to Peacock:

• ION is a leading general entertainment network featuring an expansive programming lineup that includes women’s sports, popular daram series, and more.
• ION Mystery is home to some of television’s most binge-worthy dramas, docuseries, and originals.
• Court TV is devoted to live gavel-to-gavel coverage, in-depth legal reporting, and expert analysis of the nation’s most important and compelling trials.
• Court TV Legendary Trials features Court TV’s archived footage from some of the nation’s most gripping trials through the years.
• Bounce features a programming mix of original series and movies, theatrical motion pictures, TV series, specials, and events designed for African American audiences.
• Scripps News delivers compelling, context-driven news, fact-based reporting, and a deeper look at the “why” of each story with objective, impactful storytelling.

What Is the Full List of Channels Available on Peacock Now?

Peacock now has 94 channels, most of which are “virtual channels” showing 24/7 reruns like what you’d see with Pluto TV. If you subscribe to Peacock’s $16.99 Premium Plus plan, you would also get your full live, local NBC affiliate.
