New York, NY, November 29, 2005- WE: Women's Entertainment, the only cable network dedicated to helping women connect to one another and the world around them, announced today that the network will add six new series to its growing original programming slate.

"When I joined WE almost one year ago one of my top objectives was to ramp up our original offerings," said Kim Martin, Executive Vice President and General Manager of WE.

With the addition of these six new series, we continue to offer our viewers shows that are intriguing, easily relatable and entertaining to watch."
