Starz Media will distribute its movies and other video content through the peer-to-peer network operated by Azureus, a Palo Alto, Calif.-based start-up, the companies said Monday.
Starz Media, the programming production and distribution subsidiary of Liberty Media’s Starz, plans to make anime, comedy, science-fiction and horror long-form content available to users of Azureus’ Zudeo service. In addition, Starz series that will be available on Azureus later this year will include Street Fighter Alpha, Ghost in the Shell, Astroboy, Ninja Scroll, Masters of Horror and Tripping the Rift.
“Through this partnership with Azureus, we hope to reach the millions of genre fans online and build upon the avid audience interested in our video titles and series,” Starz Media senior vice president of business development and strategy Marc DeBevoise said in a prepared statement. “We’re excited about Azureus’ high-resolution format and its potential.”
Azureus announced a similar distribution deal with BBC Worldwide in December.
