Stan is an Australian streaming company which offers subscription to selected movies and TV shows. Originally due to launch in February 2015, it instead launched on Australia Day (26 January) 2015.
Stan is owned by StreamCo, which is a joint venture of Nine Entertainment Co. and Fairfax Media. Both these companies injected AU$50 million each into StreamCo in August 2014. The service could be bundled with subscriptions to Fairfax Media's newspapers The Sydney Morning Herald and The Age. It competes against Australian streaming services Quickflix, the Foxtel/Seven West Media joint venture Presto, and the American-based Netflix and Amazon Video.
Stan's original comedy No Activity became the first SVOD program ever nominated for a Logie Award at the 2016 ceremony.
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. Stan will also hold rights to Transparent and Mozart in the Jungle.
The company has a content partnership deal with Sony Pictures,ABC,SBS and its World Movies subsidiary,Viacom,MGM,BBC Worldwide,Showtime,CBS,Village Roadshow, and Warner Bros. International Television Distribution.
