About STARZ Entertainment Corp.
Publicly traded American premium entertainment company operating the STARZ streaming and cable network, focused on women and underrepresented audiences. Separated from Lionsgate in May 2025.
History of STARZ Entertainment Corp.
STARZ was founded in 1994 by Tele-Communications Inc. (TCI) as a premium cable movie channel. The network passed through several ownership changes, including Liberty Media (2005) and Lionsgate (2016, acquired for approximately $4.4 billion). On May 7, 2025, STARZ completed its separation from Lionsgate, becoming an independent publicly traded company on Nasdaq under STRZ. Lionsgate Studios Corp. now trades separately on NYSE under LION.
The separation was approved by over 99% of both Class A and B shareholders at a special meeting on April 23, 2025. The former dual share structure was collapsed into a single class of stock. STARZ maintains ongoing content partnerships with Lionsgate Television, which produces the Power franchise, BMF, P-Valley, and other series for the network.
