Starz, Azureus Pair Up

Starz Media and Azureus have teamed up to deliver yet another way for online viewers to get their fix of some darn good shows.

The pairing with Azureus’ Zudeo service will bring such cable shows as “Street Fighter Alpha,” “Masters of Horror” and “Tripping the Rift” to the download, peer-2-peer site.

“Through this partnership with Azureus, we hope to reach the millions of genre fans online and build upon the avid audience interested in our video titles and series,” Starz Media senior vice president of business development and strategy Marc DeBevoise has been quoted as saying. “We’re excited about Azureus’ high-resolution format and its potential.”

There’s no official word on when the content will roll out, but it should help seriously bolster Azureus, which was at one point a very popular torrent client. The site right now features a lot of trailers, some original content and anime.

The “Masters of Horror” inclusion is one that I’m particularly interest in. Although I have Showtime and a DVR, I have a nasty habit of forgetting to record.
