Starz

Starz is both a premium cable broadcaster and a television producer in the United States. They have the majority financial interest in the production of Torchwood: Miracle Day, and are the network of first publication for that series. They are not, however, the copyright-holder to Miracle Day, whose ownership rests with BBC Worldwide. Nevertheless, the received significant concessions in the deal, including the global premiere rights.

Starz is the first American partner not related to the BBC to make and broadcast more than one episode set in the DWU.

As a premium cable broadcaster, Starz must be specifically ordered by American cable customers, and comes at a variety of different price points. The cheapest price is around $12-15 monthly, meaning that the cost of Starz alone is more than the typical British television licence.

It has no tie to the British digital television channel of a similar name.
