    ENGLEWOOD, Colo., Aug. 20 /PRNewswire/ -- Starz Entertainment President

we have a person with Nancy's talent and dedication to ensure that we will
have a coordinated and innovative marketing and branding strategy for all
of our new initiatives."

    McGee said, "Almost daily, Starz provides me and my team with new
marketing and branding opportunities and challenges, most recently to
promote our exciting new original series 'Crash' on multiple platforms. As
we develop this and a wide variety of other new initiatives, I look forward
to working with our affiliates to find new Starz subscribers and improve
the entertainment experience for our current customers. And, I am eager to
help extend the Starz brand internationally and on all platforms as a
symbol of the best value for the entertainment enthusiast."

    McGee joined Starz in February 2007. Prior to that she held the post of
senior vice president of marketing and sales for Adelphia Communications
