Starz has announced a new distribution agreement that restores all Starz channels, Starz On Demand and the STARZ app through the Verizon Fios service in the US.

Verizon had dropped its Starz carriage on September 30th after the pair were unable to come to terms on a renewed deal.


“We are pleased to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement that brings Starz’s premium programming to Verizon Fios customers,” commented Alison Hoffman, President, Starz Networks. “We remain committed to delivering bold storytelling for women and underrepresented audiences and to serving viewers who value our distinctive programming.”

The agreement gives subscribers access to Starz programming, including the full Power Universe and the upcoming Power: Origins; new drama Fightland; every episode of the celebrated romantic drama Outlander and its prequel series Outlander: Blood of my Blood; the upcoming season of the award-winning P-Valley; the current season of the crime drama S.W.A.T. Exiles; and the psychological thriller, Tip Toe. Starz is also home to a library of movies including recent releases Shelter and Power Ballad.
