Starz made its debut as the first phase of a seven-channel thematic multiplex that was launched by
Starz.com/activate (then Encore Media Group) over the course of the succeeding eight months, with the remaining six channels being launched between July and September 1994.
Peacocktv.com/tvhas three tiers of service: Free, Premium, and Premium Plus. The Premium tier is a subscription-based service which includes Peacock's full library of content, while the Free tier contains a subset of its content. Though
Epix.com/devices was first announced by Studio 3 Partners as strictly a premium service, it eventually began to seek distribution as a hybrid premium/digital basic channel, although its programming would be presented without editing for airtime or objectionable content and without commercial advertising.
Showtime anytime/activate was launched on July 1, 1976, on Times-Mirror Cable systems in Escondido, Long Beach and Palos Verdes, California through the conversion of 10,000 subscribers of the previous Channel One franchise. Disney+ relies on technology developed by
Disneyplus.com/Begin Streaming Services, which was originally established as BAMTech in 2015 when it was spun off from MLB Advanced Media (MLBAM).
