Starz has decided not to renew their streaming affiliation with Netflix.
Starz, LLC, President and Chief Executive Officer, Chris Albrecht, has issued the following statement regarding their affiliation agreement with Netflix:
Starz Entertainment has ended contract renewal negotiations with Netflix. When the agreement expires on February 28, 2012, Starz will cease to distribute its content on the Netflix streaming platform. This decision is a result of our strategy to protect the premium nature of our brand by preserving the appropriate pricing and packaging of our exclusive and highly valuable content. With our current studio rights and growing original programming presence, the network is in an excellent position to evaluate new opportunities and expand its overall business.
