Star Channel generated €64 million in net profit in 2014 which represents a 32.2% increase from the previous year.

Star International is currently available to viewers in Australia, New Zealand, South Africa and Asia through TV Plus; it operates on a 24-hour schedule.

In October 2009, Star International officially launched in North America, available exclusively on RCN Cable in the United States but in June 2010, RCN Cable dropped the channel due to the low number of subscriptions.

On 10 December 2020, Star International launched on Bell Satellite TV, making the channel available across Canada.
