New York - September 3, 2008 - Oxygen.com stole the show this August - the website saw the most page views in a single month with 26 million - beating the previous record (of 14 million) in July by 82%. Oxygen also had its best August results ever for both total day and primetime on household coverage ratings and all key demos. This was the nineteenth consecutive month of year-over-year growth among W18-49, P18-49, W18-34, and total viewers on a total day basis.

Oxygen Everywhere, continues to offer live voting, behind the scenes footage, exclusive games, social networking applications and a bOnus act following each original episode contributed to Oxygen's online successes in August.

Oxygen had its highest rated and most watched August ever on all key demos. This was Oxygen's second best month ever (behind the record setting results of July 2008).
