Since Albrecht became CEO in January 2010, Starz has seen its subscriber base increase by nearly 50 percent, from 17 million to 25.1 million.
Starz is losing a big star in the executive suite: Chris Albrecht is stepping down as the pay cable network’s CEO, according to our sister site Deadline.
Before coming to Starz, Albrecht spent more than two decades at HBO, where he helped develop seminal series like The Sopranos, Sex and the City, Entourage, Six Feet Under and The Wire as chairman and CEO.
Albrecht will officially hand over the reins next month, after nearly a decade at the company.
