Starz
Founded in 1994 by John Malone’s Liberty Media, Starz emerged from the cluttered cable landscape with ambitions far grander than late-night movie reruns. By 2010, it had muscled its way into the prestige drama arena with Spartacus, a show that made gratuitous violence an art form. Chris Albrecht, the ex-HBO boss who brought The Sopranos to life, took the helm in 2010, steering Starz into the streaming wars with a roster of hits like Outlander and Power. The network’s ongoing tug-of-war with Netflix over content rights revealed its willingness to play hardball, even if it meant airing some dirty laundry. Starz’s legacy, a cocktail of high-stakes gambles and strategic grit, is one of a scrappy contender that clawed its way to the top shelf of premium TV, proving that even in the age of giants, there’s still room for a star or two to shine.
