Chris Albrecht, Starz Chief Executive Officer said, "Starz delivered solid operational performance in the first quarter with record subscriber totals at STARZ and ENCORE. We continue to execute our strategy to grow the STARZ Original series programming portfolio with quality dramatic series. Coupled with the conclusion of "Spartacus" which aired on the same night, Starz had the biggest weekend viewing for an original series in the company's history and we are happy to have renewed 'Da Vinci's Demons' for a second season. In addition, anticipation is building for 'Magic City,' 'The White Queen,' 'Black Sails,' and the recently greenlit 'Fortitude' which we will co-produce with BSkyB's Sky Atlantic. We are confident that over time our approach to original programming will deliver strong shareholder value."
