"BAD GIRLS CLUB" AND "AMERICA'S NEXT TOP MODEL OBSESSED" PROPEL OXYGEN TO BEST MONTH EVER AMONG WOMEN 18-34

Network Sees Best January Ever With Double Digit Gains On- Air And Online

NEW YORK - January 27, 2009 - Oxygen's target demo of women 18-34 tuned in like never before, as Oxygen celebrates its best month ever for the demo in primetime, according to Nielsen Media Research. Additionally, Oxygen celebrates is best January performance ever for all key demos driven by the performances of "Bad Girls Club," "America's Next Top Model Obsessed" and "Snapped." In primetime, the network averaged 238,000 P18-49 (an increase of 38% vs. January 2008), 179,000 W18-49 (up 43%), 100,000 W18-34 (up 64%) and 434,000 total viewers (up 39%). This comes on the heels of Oxygen's best year ever for 2008.

Oxygen now ranks of #21 among all ad-supported cable nets for W18-34 (up from #25 in January 2008), #24 among W18-49 (up from #28 in January 2008) and #31 among P18-49 (compared to ranking 32 in January 2008).

The success among Oxygen's sweet spot of women 18-34 can be traced to the popularity of the network's hit show, "Bad Girls Club" which averages a 27% lead among W18-34 when compared to the previous season. Also, the addition of "America's Next Top Model Obsessed" to Oxygen's Sunday lineup has aged down the network significantly to an average of 25 (16 years younger than the previous Sunday time period average). The Sunday 1/25/09 America's Next Top Model marathon (11A-11P) helped Oxygen to its most watched Sunday on a Total Day basis among F18-34 (134,000).

Oxygen's interactive properties are experiencing highs with January 2009 becoming the most streamed month ever on www.oxygen.com with "Bad Girls Club" videos driving the streams to a record 2.4 million streams (a 31% increase compared to January 2008).
