Starz launches on Vizio smart TVs

Lionsgate-owned streamer Starz is now available on Vizio smart TVs.

Starting today, millions of homes in the US will be able to access the SVOD via their smart TVs, with Vizio consistently ranking as the third-largest smart TV manufacturer in the country. Starz will offer Vizio users monthly and annual subscription options directly from the CTV’s home screen.

Highlighted content offered by Starz includes Power and Outlander, while a distribution deal with Disney means that it offers movies such as Spider-Man: No Way Home and Thor: The Dark World.

Starz joins an array of streaming apps on Vizio including Apple TV+, BET+, Discovery+, Disney+, HBO Max, Hulu, Netflix, Peacock, and Prime Video.

Alison Hoffman, president of domestic networks at Starz, said: “We are excited to bring our Starz app to Vizio Smart TVs making our premium programming available to millions of users throughout the country. From our robust slate of original series dedicated to amplifying narratives by, about and for women and underrepresented audiences, and our library that features some of the biggest movies, Starz is delighted to bring our award-winning programming to the Vizio platform for viewers to enjoy in an easy, frictionless way.”
