If opting to subscribe to Starz through a live TV package, the cost can also vary.
Who owns Starz?

Is Starz worth it?
Starz is worth a subscription depending on the needs of the individual subscriber or household. The Starz catalog is fairly wide and changes over time so there is plenty to watch. However, and while it does offer access to Starz Originals, some homes may find some of the competing streaming services offer more. If you can get a Starz subscription at a cheaper price than usual, it becomes even easier to recommend.
