Verizon has inked a new deal with Starz to bring its cable multiplex back to its Fios TV service, the companies announced on Tuesday.
The deal ends a two-week stalemate, during which Starz was unavailable to customers of Fios TV through that platform.
Financial terms of the new deal were not disclosed. The deal comes the same week that Verizon is scheduled to report its Q3 earnings, and about a week before Starz does the same.
“We are pleased to have reached a mutually beneficial agreement that brings Starz’s premium programming to Verizon Fios customers,” Alison Hoffman, the President of Starz, said in a statement. “We remain committed to delivering bold storytelling for women and underrepresented audiences and to serving viewers who value our distinctive programming.”
Verizon said its earlier dispute with Starz was over fees charged for the privilege of providing the movie network to subscribers. Starz also sells its service directly to customers online.
