TLC ENDS JANUARY AS ITS HIGHEST RATED IN THREE YEARS

- W25-54 up +33%, W18-34 up +20%, & W18-49 up +17% Versus Year Ago -

Continuing its strong 4Q16 momentum into the new year, January 2017 marked TLC's highest rated January in three years among all key women demos. For the month, TLC was up double-digits versus year ago with W25-54 up +33%, W18-34 up +20% and W18-49 up +17%. The network's stellar performance helped TLC remain among the top ad-supported cable networks in prime for the month ranking as #6 with W18-49, #7 with W25-54 and #9 with W18-34.

The network's success was driven by key series on several nights in January including season highs for SISTER WIVES which tied as TLC's highest rated Sunday in January ever with W25-54. This season of Sister Wives averaged 2.2M P2+ viewers and a 1.9 W25-54 rating, the series highest ratings since 2014.

In addition, TLC ranked #1 on Wednesdays with W18-49 driven by MY 600LB LIFE and Tyler Perry's TOO CLOSE TO HOME. The new season of MY 600LB LIFE returned on Wednesdays in January with 1.7M P2+ viewers, a 1.4 W25-54 rating (up +17% versus prior season), a 1.2 W18-49 ratings (up +9% versus prior season) and on pace to be the series' most watched and highest rated season ever. Also driving strong Wednesday performance was the sophomore season of TLC's first ever scripted series Tyler Perry's TOO CLOSE TO HOME earning 1.6M P2+ viewers (+60% versus Season 1), ratings highs with 1.1 W25-54 (+38% versus Season 1) and 1.0 W18-49 (+67% versus Season 1).

Continuing the network's ratings streak, the Tuesday, January 24 season premiere of MY BIG FAT FABULOUS averaged 1.6M P2+ viewers and a 1.3 W25-54 rating, making it the series' most watched and highest rated episode ever.
