For practically anyone living in the United States, the name Starz and Encore is virtually synonymous with television entertainment. The truth is, these channels have been around for a long time and they have all but set the standard when it comes to movie entertainment. Furthermore, the channels are widely available whether you subscribe to cable or satellite and in most cases, they can be purchased as add on packages to whatever type of programming you are already paying for. As technology changes and evolves, it is it now even possible to stream movies online.
While all of this is nothing new in the United States, that isn’t always the case in other countries. Believe it or not, Canada has not been able to take advantage of Starz, but all of that is about to change. The company just struck one of the most important landmark deals in television entertainment in the history of the country. They have decided to go into business together with Bell Media in order to bring the channels to all parts of Canada in much the same way they are currently available in the United States.
This marks an important milestone in television entertainment as the company makes an effort to go global. It really only made sense that their next big move would be in Canada and after that deal is firmly in place, there is every likelihood that they will also take the same types of entertainment packages to other parts of the globe.
What does all this mean for anyone that is interested in quality television entertainment or for those who thoroughly enjoy having a wide range of movies available to them at the drop of a hat? It means that they will suddenly have access to those movies when they might not have been able to get ahold of them in the past. It also means more value for their dollar and in many cases, it means that they will have access to this type of entertainment whether they are at home watching television or away streaming it on their laptop.
This is definitely good news for anybody that enjoys having the opportunity to kick back and watch a good movie from time to time. For true movie buffs, this is practically enough to make them do backflips. With all that being said, it really is good news for consumers across the board. As previously mentioned, it means that customers will get more for their money and in many cases, the access to additional entertainment far outweighs the slight increase in their bill as these channels are added.
One thing is certain, as this new programming becomes widely available throughout Canada, more and more people will have the opportunity to enjoy movies in a way that they haven’t previously experienced. It also means that they can watch popular theatrical releases much more quickly, as these types of movies are usually placed in the Starz lineup fairly quickly. With this type of business deal, everybody wins.
