Unresolved · 29 deal-flagged records not counted

ScreamWire’s classifier tagged these as deal coverage, but the headline does not establish Peacock, a named project, Peacock’s role and the transaction. They are excluded from every count on this page and kept, with their sources, for review — newest 25 below; all 29 are in the unresolved list.

Methodology

Source. Assembled from ScreamWire's classified archive — 210 wire items (Feb 19 → Oct 17) matching Peacock, deduplicated by URL (10 cross-day re-sightings removed). Every entry links to the original reporting. Descriptive, never predictive.

Why no deal amounts. Only 1.9% of tracked deal items site-wide carry a reported figure — the trades rarely publish terms — so dollar amounts appear only as the source phrased them (e.g. “rich eight-figure deal”), never as comparable numbers. This is a deal-flow tracker, not a comps database.

What counts as a transaction. A row appears under Transactions, Slate or What they buy only when the publisher’s headline names Peacock, names the project, and states Peacock’s role in a transaction (bought, set up, developing, ordered, distributing, hired or cast for…). A company mentioned alongside a film is not enough, and neither is a classifier tag. Reports of the same transaction are merged; separate transactions on one project, such as a set-up and a later casting, stay separate. 29 deal-flagged records did not meet the test and are listed under Unresolved.

Source material and medium are recorded only when the headline states them; otherwise “not stated”. Dates are when ScreamWire first archived a report, so a resurfaced older story can carry a later date; reviewed exceptions are listed in the repository’s record-review file.

Grades are ScreamWire's editorial coverage grade — how strongly the wire covered the story — not a deal-quality score.
