The Australian streaming service StreamCo has officially announced that they will be opening the doors to the video on demand service Stan on Monday.

Following the launch of the Presto Entertainment last week, Stan has confirmed it will be the next key player in the subscription VOD market in Australia.

StreamCo, the company backed by Channel 9 and Fairfax Media has confirmed it is offering access to its entire catalogue of TV and movies – including a free 30-day trial – for a flat rate of $10 per month.

The Australia Day launch is fitting, considering Stan is set to have the broadest range of Australian television shows of the new subscription services, emerging from comprehensive deals with both the ABC and SBS.
