NEW YORK - March 29, 2011 - Fueled by ratings juggernauts and an aggressive programming slate, Bravo Media reached another milestone earning its best quarter in network history, delivering its fourth consecutive quarter of year-over-year growth among all key demos, according to Nielsen Media Research. The network averaged 970,000 total viewers and 611,000 adults 18-49 this past quarter, marking an impressive double-digit growth (up 28 percent increase among total viewers and 35 percent among adults 18-49 vs. Q1 2010).

Bravo Mobile also delivered its best quarter in network history among video streams.

"Bravo is a leader in creating high quality, original content that drives the pop-culture conversation with platforms that deepen the engagement for our upscale and educated viewers," said Frances Berwick, President of Bravo Media. "The network's success across all screens in the first quarter proves our brand strength continues to grow and our strategy to increase original programming is paying off."
