Peacock competitor

Answer:

HULU

Hint:

This streaming service shares its name with a Hawaiian word for "feather" or "plume."

Explanation:

"Peacock competitor" hints at another streaming service that rivals NBC’s Peacock. Hulu fits because it’s a major platform offering TV shows, movies, and originals, just like Peacock. The clue plays on the idea of competition in the streaming market, where Hulu (owned by Disney) directly goes up against Peacock (owned by Comcast). It’s a straightforward reference to industry rivals.
