Starz and BET+ Join Forces for Prime Video Channels Bundle

Starz and BET+ have teamed up to become available as a combined package on Amazon’s Prime Video Channels service.

As a cinephile with a passion for urban stories, it’s clear that Starz and BET+ are two platforms made for each other. Both platforms boast an impressive library catering to young, city-dwelling audiences. BET+ offers a wealth of content from the creative mind of Tyler Perry, along with its own original series. On the other hand, Starz has masterfully expanded the “Power” universe and introduced original dramas like “BMF” and “P-Valley.

Starz and BET+ make a fitting combination for viewers seeking a variety of culturally enriched streaming content featuring memorable characters and genuine narratives, according to Alison Hoffman, president of Star Networks. Starz offers a wide range of perspectives in all our productions, and such packages enable us to bring the stories we treasure at an outstanding price for our customers. By teaming up with other leading streamers, we aim to solidify ourselves as the go-to partner for premium bundling through a variety of offerings.

The upcoming package will cost you $15.99 per month, and its providers claim it provides a 30% discount compared to buying the two services individually. Currently, Lionsgate is working on separating Starz as a standalone company.

BET+ is thrilled to team up with STARZ and Amazon on a special offer that bundles Prime Video access with a vast film collection, as well as our award-winning series and movies,” commented Jason Harvey, BET+’s executive VP and head. “Our mission at BET+ is to highlight the rich tapestry of black narratives, and this partnership allows us to extend our influence to an even wider group of viewers.

Amazon’s Prime Video Channels platform is now playing a significant role in helping major Hollywood studios and networks connect directly with consumers, as they increasingly focus on selling content directly without relying heavily on the traditional Multichannel Video Programming Distributor (MVPD) pay-TV frameworks.

We’re thrilled to broaden our combined offerings with the introduction of the BET+/STARZ package, one of nine discounted packages already offered on Prime Video. Customers have shown great enthusiasm for the convenience, affordability, and increased content selection that bundles provide, and we’ll keep pushing the boundaries in this area,” stated Matt Cohen, General Manager and Head of Prime Video Channels. “By merging BET+ and STARZ, we are eager to please both new and existing Channel subscribers.
