Stan (stylised as Stan.) is an Australian subscription over-the-top streaming service. It was launched on 26 January 2015.[3] Stan originally was founded as StreamCo Media, a 50/50 joint venture between Nine Entertainment and Fairfax Media. In August 2014, each company invested A$50 million in StreamCo.[4] StreamCo was renamed Stan Entertainment in December 2014, prior to the January 2015 launch of the streaming service. Nine Entertainment acquired Fairfax Media in 2018, making Stan a wholly owned subsidiary of Nine Digital.

The service offers a broad range of film and television content from both local and foreign productions, particularly from the United States and United Kingdom. Stan also includes a growing library of their own original film and television content. With over 2.6 million subscribers, as of June 2023 Stan is the fourth largest streaming service in Australia, behind Disney+, Amazon Prime Video and Netflix.[5]

Stan's original comedy No Activity became the first SVOD program ever nominated for a Logie Award at the 2016 ceremony.[6]

## Content

[edit]

At launch, the first major programming announcement was the exclusive rights to the premiere season of Better Call Saul as well as the rights to Breaking Bad, which previously aired on Foxtel.[7] It also held the rights to Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle.[8]

The company has a content partnership deal with Sony Pictures,[7] ABC,[9] SBS and its World Movies subsidiary,[10] Paramount Global,[11] Amazon MGM Studios,[12] BBC Worldwide,[13] Showtime,[14] CBS,[14] Village Roadshow,[15] and Warner Bros. International Television Distribution.[16] In December 2014, Stan signed non-exclusive agreements with ABC Commercial and Viacom, with the latter covering Comedy Central, MTV, and Nickelodeon programming.[9][11]

In August 2015, Stan signed a multi-year deal with Warner Bros. International Television Distribution, bringing several new U.S. series to the platform, including Australian premiere series A to Z and Selfie, as well as the third season of The Following (the first two seasons aired on the Nine Network).[16] In 2016, Stan reached an exclusive multi-year deal with CBS Corporation, which included exclusive rights to Showtime original programs (before the launch of Paramount+ in August 2021).[17]

On 13 December 2018, Stan reached a content agreement with Disney to carry films and television series.[18] The agreement ended in late-2019 due to the launch of Disney+.[19][20] On 20 August 2019, Stan reached an agreement with Paramount Pictures, carrying some of its films, and series such as The Great and Looking for Alaska.[21] In August 2020, Stan reached a multi-year agreement with NBCUniversal for rights to content from Sky Studios and its U.S. streaming service Peacock.[22] Eventually, the Foxtel Group made a deal with NBC Universal in 2022 to be the home of newer Peacock shows, following the expiration of NBC Universal's deal with Stan.[23]

In May 2015, Roy Morgan Research found that Netflix had 1.039 million Australian users, compared to 97,000 for former competitor Presto and 91,000 for Stan.[77] In October 2015, Nine Entertainment claimed that Stan had between 150,000 and 200,000 paying subscribers, which they said was ahead of Presto's estimated 100,000 customers.[78]

One year after its launch, CEO Mike Sneesby announced that 1.5 million users had used the service across almost 700,000 subscriptions.[17] In December 2016 Stan claimed to have 600,000 active subscribers.[79] In November 2017 it was reported that the service had over 800,000 active subscribers and revenue topping $100 million a year.[80]

Stan reached 1 million active subscribers in June 2018.[81] By December 2019, the service had over 1.8 million subscribers.[82]

As of August 2020, Stan passed the 2 million subscriber mark reaching 2.1 million subscribers in total.[83]

As of May 2021, Stan passed 2.3 million active subscribers and more than 4 million people that had entered their credit card details on the platform. Stan gained nearly 150,000 sport subscribers since it began broadcasting rugby union matches earlier this year.[84]
