STARZ and Verizon failed to reach a renewal agreement, leading Verizon to remove all STARZ channels, STARZ On Demand, and the STARZ app from its Fios service. STARZ criticized Verizon for misrepresenting its position and not negotiating in good faith. As a result, Verizon Fios customers lost access to popular STARZ shows like "Power," "Outlander," and "P-Valley," along with STARZ's exclusive film library. STARZ expressed readiness to negotiate a fair deal to restore service to Verizon customers promptly.
