Starz Now Offers Standalone App for Streaming Film and TV

Premium TV network Starz is rolling out its standalone app on Apple and Google devices today, targeting the 20 million U.S. homes that pay for broadband but not full cable bundles. The $9 per month service will feature TV episodes and movies, original series such as “Outlander” and “Power,” and later this year, “Star Wars: The Force Awakens.” The move “puts a renewed spotlight on Starz, which has surpassed its rival Showtime to become the second-largest premium TV network in the country behind HBO,” reports The New York Times. According to SNL Kagan, Starz has about 23.6 million subscribers, while Showtime has 23.4 million and HBO has 32.5 million.
