TV's Starz (NYSE:LGF.A) (NYSE:LGF.B) has launched its first bundle, teaming up with Amazon.com (NASDAQ:AMZN) to bundle service with Amazon's MGM+ on Prime Video in the United States.
That's part of a new long-term deal between Starz and Amazon.

The two services together will go for $11.99 per month, marking a 20% discount to the stand-alone combined price.
âStarz is a complementary service to general entertainment offerings, so weâre thrilled to see that bundling is now here and believe there will be many more bundling opportunities to come," said Starz's Alison Hoffman.
The news comes even as Starz parent Lions Gate Entertainment (LGF.A) (LGF.B) is moving forward with a separation of its studio from its streaming operations, moves that set up parts of the company for some long-discussed merger/acquisition activity.
Starz lost subscribers at the end of 2022 to land at 19.9M (11.6M streaming, and 8.3M linear).
