STARZ channels are a group of entertainment channels owned by Lionsgate. These channels offer blockbuster movies, timeless classics and premium TV shows to their viewers. For instance, the STARZ Cinema channel features famous movies like Scarface and Rocky Balboa.
Although STARZ has become popular for showing ready-made content to its viewers, the service is also excellent at creating original TV shows.
One of the most remarkable TV series created by STARZ is Power. Even if you’ve never used STARZ, you’ve probably heard about the show. Power follows Tommy Egan, a drug dealer who’s trying to leave the criminal world and build a legitimate nightclub business.
The STARZ subscription service groups its channels based on the category of content they create. For instance, the STARZ Cinema channel only shows movies, while the Starz Kids and Family Channel focuses on delivering PG-rated content.
Starz also has two sister networks: Encore and Movie Plex; both of which boast a collection of channels.
Here are all the STARZ channels available on DIRECTV:
All DIRECTV users can get STARZ on their package. But while the STARZ channels appear automatically on DIRECTV PREMIER packages, customers on lower-tiered plans have to add the channels manually.
