TLC's 2014-2015 SLATE OF PROGRAMMING DELIVERS HEART, HUMOR, AND REAL-LIFE CHARACTERS

(New York, NY ) TLC kicked off 2014 with its best first quarter in a decade - and the network is on track to have one of its best years ever.

TLC is planning more than 500 hours of original programming in 2014 alone, including 44 new and returning series.

"As our success shows, everyone needs a little TLC. At the center of the network are our core viewers - we call them the Heart Seekers. They're the families, young couples, moms, and 'moms to be' who watch us every week, and we're evolving our brand to give them even more of what they love," said Marjorie Kaplan, Group President, TLC.

"Our viewers know what they want from TLC, and we know what to give them - the shows that make them feel something, and people they can root for. This emotional connection is essential to our brand," said Nancy Daniels, General Manager, TLC. "This year, we'll continue to propel our growth with more programming that features families of all shapes and sizes, heartwarming transformative experiences, and relatable life moments - stories that only TLC can tell."
