TLC'S "A BABY STORY: LIVE" REACHES NEW HEIGHTS

Nine videos delivered 8+ hours of live content on TLCme Facebook page

TLC's A Baby Story: Live provides viewers with unedited, real-time views of a live birth using the Facebook Live platform. Beginning Saturday, July 9th at 10:15PMET, TLCme's Facebook page began broadcasting the network's second live birth with Angela's delivery, and after laboring an excruciating ten hours, she gave birth to Gabriella with the help of her husband and midwife. The nine videos have since garnered 279,969 views and have reached more than 3 million users on Facebook as users reacted, commented, and shared the videos. TLC will air a linear companion of the live stream on Tuesday, July 19th at 7:54PM ET.

"A Baby Story: Live is a great extension of TLC's promise to bring real, raw and emotional content to all of our platforms. Being on the ground for the event with the team to capture more than 8 hours of Facebook Live footage culminating in the miraculous moment of Baby Gabriella's birth was truly remarkable. It was incredibly heartwarming to see all the encouragement and positive feedback from viewers across North America," said Scott Lewers, Senior Vice President, Multi-Platform Programming & Digital Media, TLC.
