Video streaming service Stan to launch on Australia Day
Fairfax Media and Nine Entertainment’s join streaming venture Stan is set to launch on Australia Day after offering some members of the public a preview run on the service earlier this week.
Access to Stan’s content library which consists of TV and movies will set users back $10 a month after completing a 30-day trial. Speculation suggested it would be launched around February 8, when its flagship show Better Call Saul goes to air in the US.
Stan CEO Mike Sneesby said: “We know there’s been some speculation around Stan’s launch date, and while we’ve had to keep it under wraps we’re really proud to be able to announce that Australia’s new streaming service will launch on Australia Day.”
Genius. A day when no-one will be watching.
Dude called D’oh. In the world of streaming, “a day when no-one will be watching” doesn’t matter. However, how Presto, Stan and everything else plays out over the next 6 – 12 months will be very interesting – and does indeed matter.
“Stimping up $100m each to promote the service” – in contra advertising of course. How else would Fairfax find $100m?
@d’oh your negative comment just proves how little you understand the current media landscape.
