The company was originally founded as StreamCo Media, a joint venture between Nine Entertainment Co. and Fairfax Media.
Dan Taylor resigned as executive director of Stan on April 28, 2026, less than a year after his July 2025 appointment as part of Nine's restructure of its streaming and broadcast divisions, where he was responsible for Stan's profit and loss performance. Nine Entertainment has yet to name his successor at the streaming service. This follows his appointment on April 27, 2026, as CEO of the Melbourne Football Club, where he will replace Paul Guerra. Taylor, who already sat on the club's board as a non-executive director, will take over from interim chief executive Brian Cook in the coming months.
