Starz says it has restored its networks and streaming offerings on Verizon Fios after settling a carriage dispute over the terms of a new distribution contract. The company announced that subscribers again have access to Starz channels, Starz On Demand and the Starz app through Verizon’s service.
The outlets describe the situation as an interruption that left Starz content unavailable on Verizon Fios, followed by a new agreement that brings the service back. Variety frames the story as Starz “getting back” on Fios after the terms of the contract were resolved, while Deadline similarly emphasizes the deal and the return of all Starz offerings. PR Newswire also highlights the restoration and lists included programming.
While all three sources agree on the restoration and the existence of a newly reached pact, they differ in how much detail they provide about the programming lineup. Deadline and PR Newswire both cite specific series and upcoming titles, whereas Variety focuses more on the service disruption and contract battle.
