Starz has named cable veteran Sofia Chang as its executive VP president, chief distribution officer.

The former WarnerMedia executive will oversee all of Starz’s sales activities with multichannel video and digital distributors. Chang, who was most recently the national CEO of Girl Scouts of the USA, will report to Starz president of domestic networks Alison Hoffman. 

“Sofia is a well-respected entertainment executive who brings a wealth of experience to Starz along with a successful track record of driving growth in both the linear and digital space,” Hoffman said in a statement. “We are excited to welcome her to the Starz team and know her leadership will help us broaden our partner ecosystem, deepen our existing relationships and solidify our position as the industry’s bundling partner of choice.”

Chang spent more than 20 years at WarnerMedia and its predecessor, Time Warner, most recently as president of distribution, where she led distribution revenue for all HBO-branded digital and linear channels and navigated its subscriber and revenue growth. While at HBO, Chang also oversaw content distribution in other formats. 

“I’m thrilled to join Starz and I’m looking forward to building on the team’s great success,” Chang said. “I am also incredibly proud to be joining an organization that is dedicated to putting women and underrepresented audiences at the forefront of its business strategy.”

Hulu has reached a deal to make HBO and Cinemax available to Hulu’s live and on-demand subscribers as premium add-ons.

HBO and Cinemax are owned by Time Warner, which bought a stake in Hulu last year.

Hulu subscribers will be able to buy HBO for $14.99 a month and Cinemax for $9.99 a month. The deal comes just before the July 16 premiere of season seven of HBO’s big hit Game of Thrones.

“By combining HBO’s iconic programming with our world class user experience and deep content offering, Hulu is giving viewers easy and highly personalized access to the very best of television,” said Tim Connolly, senior vice president and head of distribution and partnerships at Hulu. “With this important new partnership, fans can now watch Game of Thrones live every Sunday, binge watch all six seasons of The Sopranos or catch up on Westworld alongside our live TV, sports, classic TV shows and Hulu originals – all without ever having to leave the Hulu app.”

AT&T’s DirecTV Now is offering HBO free for an introductory period. HBO also offers its own over-the-top service, HBO Now, directly to subscribers.

“Hulu has been a pioneer in the television streaming business, building a robust user base by offering top-tier programming from a variety of networks,” said Sofia Chang, HBO executive vice president, worldwide digital distribution and home entertainment. “We see them as the perfect partner to help us fulfill our promise to HBO fans, bringing our unparalleled programming to audiences in the most sophisticated, convenient and innovative ways.”

East and West Coast live feeds of HBO and Cinemax will be available to Hulu viewers on supported devices.

Subscribers who purchase the HBO add-on through Hulu will also gain access to HBO Now through their Hulu account. In the coming weeks additional live channels HBO 2, HBO Family, HBO Latino, HBO Comedy, HBO Signature HD, HBO Zone, MoreMAX HD, ActionMAX HD, ThrillerMAX HD, MovieMAX HD, 5StarMAX HD and OuterMAX HD will become available to Hulu viewers within the add-ons, the company said.
