STARZ joins Verizon’s +play — now with over 20 services available on the platform
05 Janvier 2023 - 5:00PM
Verizon today announced STARZ as the latest streaming service to
join +play beta. STARZ – which will premiere the second season of
its hit television series “BMF” tomorrow – is a leading global
media streaming platform committed to delivering premium content
that amplifies narratives by, about and for women and
underrepresented audiences.
The +play beta launched last month as a first-of-its-kind
content hub exclusive to Verizon customers to help them discover
savings on select services and manage their favorite subscriptions
from entertainment, news, lifestyle, gaming and more – all in one
place, and only on Verizon.
“We’re building +play to not only solve for our customers’
common pain points, but to give them value and savings they can’t
get anywhere else,” said Erin McPherson, Verizon Chief Content
Officer. “Adding STARZ to the entertainment services available
through +play beta gives our customers even more choice when it
comes to accessing the content they love, and we’re thrilled to
have them aboard.”
+play seamlessly integrates a breadth of content services –
spanning from entertainment to education, lifestyle to fitness – in
a single place so customers can easily search, subscribe, save
money and pay for their subscription services. The diverse services
offered on +play beta ensure customers’ content needs are met while
empowering them to choose the kinds of entertainment and
experiences they want. And, the platform is a marketplace for
Verizon’s content partners to leverage even broader
direct-to-consumer reach and engagement.
“We are excited to partner with Verizon for its +play platform
making our premium original programming and robust movie library
available in a seamless environment,” said Alison Hoffman, STARZ
President of Domestic Networks. “Our fan favorite titles, including
the ‘Power’ Universe series, ‘Outlander,’ ‘P-Valley’ and the highly
anticipated sophomore season of ‘BMF’ that debuts tomorrow, are
just a few examples of the bold storytelling we are thrilled to
make easily available to Verizon customers on their new content
hub.”
With STARZ on +play, Verizon customers can subscribe to the
STARZ app that offers the ability to stream or download STARZ
premium content, as well as the flagship domestic STARZ® service,
including STARZ ENCORE, 17 premium pay TV channels, and the
associated on-demand and online services.
The platform builds on the content Verizon already offers
through leading providers including Disney+, Hulu, ESPN+,
discovery+ and AMC+, all of which are featured in the new service,
and introduces new subscription service partners, like NFL+, NBA
League Pass, HBO Max, Netflix, Peloton, A+E Networks (Lifetime
Movie Club, HISTORY Vault, and A&E Crime Central), The
Athletic, Calm and Duolingo, among many others – with more to come
later this year.
