Philo, a live streaming TV service focused on entertainment channels, has added Starz and Epix as its first two premium channel add-ons for subscribers.
The service – which offers more than 50 channels including A&E, AMC, Comedy Central, Food Network, HGTV, Lifetime and Nickelodeon for $20 per month – has special introductory prices to go along with the launch. Philo subscribers can get Epix for $3 per month for the first three months (regularly $6/month) and Starz for $5 per month for the first three months (regularly $9/month) if they sign up for the services before July 13.
Mike Keyserling, chief operating officer and head of content acquisition at Philo, said both Starz and Epix will have linear channels and large on-demand libraries on the service.
