Starz Media To Sell Video On iTunes

Starz Media, a television production and distribution company that houses Anchor Bay Entertainment and Manga Entertainment, will launch on iTunes tonight. Starz typically distributes both proprietary and licensed content on DVD through bricks-and-mortar retail chains such as Best Buy, but Marc DeBevoise, SVP of business development and strategy believes that people will purchase episodic content through the iTunes platform "as long as it feels like free". Starz will debut with two sitcoms, Hollywood Residential and Head Case as well as four popular anime series'.

Starz Media video content is already available on Amazon Unbox and Xbox Live. We'll keep you updated as to what content will be available on iTunes.
