Business
Starz Entertainment Corp. (NASDAQ: STRZ) operates as a premium global subscription video platform, distributing STARZ-branded premium subscription video services, including original series, blockbuster movies, and diverse programming targeted at women and underrepresented audiences; STARZ Encore channels offering hit movies, classic films, and past seasons of originals; MoviePlex for theatrical releases; and Sphere family channels such as MovieSphere by Lionsgate, OuterSphere by Lionsgate, and HerSphere by Lionsgate, alongside FAST channels like Ebony TV by Lionsgate in partnership with Ebony Media Group. The company delivers content through over-the-top streaming platforms and its direct-to-consumer Starz App, multichannel video programming distributors including cable operators, satellite providers, and telecommunications companies in the United States and Canada, with international OTT distribution outside those regions. Starz Entertainment maintains operations primarily in North America, powered by advanced technology, data analytics, and digital infrastructure. Founded in 1997 and headquartered in Santa Monica, California, the company completed its separation from Lionsgate Studios in May 2025, transitioning to a standalone publicly traded entity with a single class of stock following shareholder approval, ending an eight-year collaboration while preserving content partnerships. In November 2025, Starz explores a potential acquisition of A+E Global Media, parent of Lifetime, History, and other linear networks, aligning with CEO Jeff Hirsch's strategy to acquire traditional linear assets lacking digital infrastructure, convert them to digital platforms, and scale subscriber reach from 20 million toward 80 million U.S. households focused on women and diverse audiences. This M&A approach leverages Starz's 70% digital revenue model amid industry consolidations involving entities like Comcast, Warner Bros. Discovery, and Paramount.
