Leading DC-Based Agency to Support
Engagement with Lawmakers and Other Key Stakeholders
Starz (NASDAQ: STRZA, STRZB) announced today that the company
has retained the Glover Park Group to provide Government Relations
and Strategic Communications services, with a specific focus on
supporting the company’s engagement with the Washington, DC public
policy community. As the multichannel video industry continues to
consolidate, lawmakers and regulators are increasingly focused on
ensuring that the public interest in access to quality, diverse
programming is preserved and promoted. Through outreach to
government officials and communications within the Washington, DC
market, Starz plans to work with the Glover Park Group to educate
key stakeholders about the programmer’s outstanding array of shows,
including its breakout hits “Power” and “Survivor’s Remorse.” Both
shows have received strong viewership and critical acclaim driven
by their appeal to the traditionally underserved African American
audience. As required under federal law, the Glover Park Group will
be registering to lobby on behalf of Starz.
