Encore), a wholly owned subsidiary of Liberty Media
Corporation (NYSE: L, LMCb), and Twentieth Century
Fox Television Distribution (NYSE: NWS) have signed an
extensive and long-term licensing agreement that
delivers a rich variety of filmed entertainment to
Starz Super Pak and Starz On Demand subscribers. The
deal comprises both feature films and TV series, with
pay TV rights for numerous blockbusters such as "Independence Day," "Speed," "Mrs. Doubtfire"

and "Home
Alone" series. The agreement was jointly
announced today by Peter Levinsohn, executive vice
president worldwide pay television and pay-per-view,
Twentieth Century Fox Television Distribution and
Robert Leighton, president of Starz Encore
Entertainment.
"Twentieth Century Fox was one of the original
suppliers to Starz Encore and we are pleased to be
extending our mutually beneficial relationship into
the future as we embark on this new era of pay
television on-demand," said Levinsohn.
"Fox has a great library, with over 80 years of
magnificent films," said Leighton. "This deal allows
Starz Encore to reach deep into the library for
many years, fortifying our Starz Super Pak channels.
In particular, adding Fox films to our Starz On Demand
line-up takes it to a whole new level of
excellence -- more than ever, having Starz On Demand
will be like having a video store in your home."
Additional highlights from the deal are pay TV
rights for many proven-favorite, contemporary hit
movies such as "True Lies," "Cocoon," "The Abyss"
and "The Jewel of the Nile," as well as numerous
selections from Fox's deep classic library including
such acclaimed and endearing films as "Patton," "The
Poseidon Adventure," "The French Connection,"
"Cleopatra" and "The Seven Year
Itch."
Also included in the deal are three popular
television series from the 1960s that will find a new
home on Starz Encore's thematic channels, such as
Action and Westerns: "The Green Hornet" (1966-67) --
the cult classic starring Van Williams which
introduced Bruce Lee to American television
audiences, "The Time Tunnel" (1966-67) -- the fantasy
adventure from Irwin Allen starring James Darren,
