TLC FILLS OUT 2015-2016 SLATE OF PROGRAMMING WITH STYLE, UNIQUE FAMILIES, AND LIFE'S MOST IMPORTANT MOMENTS

(New York, NY ) - TLC wrapped up 2014 with 30 hit series averaging over 1M viewers and record-breaking numbers for beloved hit series, and the network continues that momentum into 2015. In January, viewers fell in love with TLC's newest personality, Whitney Thore with MY BIG FAT FABULOUS LIFE, and the network dove right back into the style genre with the highly anticipated return of Stacy London in the new series LOVE, LUST OR RUN. In February, 19 KIDS AND COUNTING returned with its highest rated season premiere, continuing to follow the ever-growing Duggar family. This mix of authentic real people, compelling transformation, and larger-than-life stories will drive the network forward in the coming year.

"TLC's mission is to find the relatable in the extraordinary, the heart in the unfamiliar, the quiet connection in a hectic world. This year, we dig deeper into our brand to deliver bigger moments and remarkable people that make this network a destination for millions of viewers," said Marjorie Kaplan, Group President, TLC & Animal Planet.

Today's television viewer is mobile, multi-tasking, and expecting to connect on a deeper level with the shows and characters they love. Pairing with the network's on-air success, TLC connects with its fans across multiple platforms, extending the conversation beyond the TV screen and into the always-on lives of its viewers. The powerful strategy has paid off with TLC ranked among the top 5 most social cable networks for reality programming in 2014 (Source: Nielsen Social, Ranked by Unique Authors) and staggering growth and impressive engagement across multiple platforms, including a 267% increase in average monthly engaged users on TLC's Facebook pages from 2013 to 2014 (Source: Facebook Insights).

"Our viewers, who we call affectionately our 'heart seekers,' come to us for a sense of community - to share their own lives and the real lives of the people on TLC. Our characters' lives continue outside of the traditional television season, and we want our viewers to stay connected and engaged all year long. By creating multiple ways for our audience to interact with our brand, we're able to build a deeper connection and ensure we're invited back into living rooms, onto tablets and all screens, and throughout social media feeds across the country," said Nancy Daniels, General Manager, TLC.

In 2015, TLC is planning more than 500 hours of original programming, including over 50 new and returning series. The network's 2015-2016 slate of new programming includes the following genres:

FAMILY

At the core of TLC, viewers find families of all shapes and sizes. As the next generation from some of TLC's most popular series - including 19 KIDS AND COUNTING and LITTLE PEOPLE, BIG WORLD - get married and create families of their own, viewers are responding and taking the exciting journey with them. This year, TLC welcomes the Willis family, who have already sung their way into America's hearts. The network is adding more families to the mix, all bringing larger-than-life personalities, laughter, and love:

LIFE'S MILESTONE MOMENTS

TLC takes viewers inside life's relatable milestone moments like no one else can. First comes home, as the series MY FIRST HOME - going on the search for a perfect first home - returns to the network's weekend lineup. Then comes marriage... but, maybe with some unlikely matchmakers. The network is adding four more series that tap into the moments that make up our lives:

3 Bad Dates, 1 Soul Mate (working title) - New special, 3Q 2015

Married by Mom and Dad (working title) - New series, 4Q 2015

In this new social experiment, men and women who have been unlucky in love have agreed to put their love lives and their futures in the hands of the people who know them best: their parents.

Untitled 3Ball Weight Loss Show - New series, 1Q 2016

In each self-contained hour we'll follow an obese person on the transformation journey of a lifetime. Their journey starts with a declaration: they will go to the object of their affection, declare their romantic intentions, and admit they want to ask them out. But not right now, in 90 days. Our hero promises to make some huge changes in their life - and after they do, they'll come back to meet their crush - completely transformed. (3Ball Productions).
