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.
