Lionsgate (LGF) Buys Starz (STRZA): Winners And Losers In Massive $4.4B Deal

Independent studio Lions Gate Entertainment just closed a massive $4.4 billion deal to buy premium cable network Starz.

The deal, between the network that brings you “Outlander” and the studio that brought you the “Hunger Games” movies and “Mad Men” has been rumored for more than a year and is yet another example of the ranks-closing in the TV industry as everyone tries to figure out how to make the most money from making things people want to watch.
