Starz is lowering the price of its annual streaming subscription from $74.99 per year to $69.99 per year.
“As one of the few streaming networks that is profitable, we are always looking for ways to drive success for the business while providing great value to our customers,” Starz domestic networks president Alison Hoffman said in a statement. “Our annual plan subscribers are some of our most valuable customers, so we wanted to find ways to drive more people into the plan and reward our existing customers.”
Existing Starz subscribers will see the price adjustment in their next billing cycle.
