WE Refreshes Brand with New Tagline

Bridezillas Marketing Initiative First to Utilize New Network Positioning

New York, NY, May 30, 2006 - WE: Women's Entertainment, the only cable network dedicated to helping women connect to one another and the world around them, announced today that it will be dropping the Women's Entertainment from its name and adding a new and fitting tagline: " WE Have More Fun." The brand refresh will be accompanied by an updated network logo that includes WE's new tagline. These marketing efforts will help to redefine WE's brand and further evoke the spirit and essence of the network.

The new brand positioning will be showcased for the first time in the multi-million dollar comprehensive marketing initiative supporting this summer's return of the WE hit original series Bridezillas, the highest rated original series in the history of the network. The brand refresh is one of several changes that Kim Martin has implemented during her 18-month tenure as general manager. Under Martin's leadership the network has launched its first-ever national public affairs campaign, WE Empowers Women; greenlit a strong line-up of new series; and produced four live on-air events, the network's first-ever live programming. WE's original programming has also grown significantly in the past year and a half, and included several hit series such as Bridezillas, John Edward Cross Country, Secret Lives of Women and American Princess. These changes have resulted in a substantial ratings increase for the network, including delivery of younger women.

"We wanted to bring the WE brand to life and embrace the strength of the name," said Kim Martin, WE's Executive Vice President and General Manager. "When our viewers come to WE, they're going to enjoy themselves, and we wanted to get that point across in our marketing. We will also carry this new message through in our original programming, continuing to provide our viewers with engaging originals that focus on pop culture, relationships and personal style. The marketing campaign for Bridezillas will be the perfect fit to launch the new network tagline."

The marketing initiative supporting this summer's return of the hit original series Bridezillas will be the first to feature the new "WE Have More Fun" tagline and logo. In addition to a large presence on television, radio and print, Bridezillas will have an extensive online promotional campaign. Linked through WE tv's website (www.we.tv) there is a mini-site for Bridezillas that features episode information, profiles of this seasons Bridezillas, wedding tips, a discussion board, downloads of a Bridezillas theme song, ringtones and AIM icons, and a blog on wedding highs and lows ( www.youmaynowkisstheblog.com ). The wedding blog follows "Kate" as she goes through the steps of planning her wedding, from picking a photographer to narrowing down the guest list, and features videos that play out Kate's bridezilla thoughts along the way.

Today's announcement comes on the heels of a record breaking quarter for WE, with HH ratings growth of +50% from 1Q05 (0.2 HH RTG) to 1Q06 (0.3 HH RTG). In addition, the 05/06 season is pacing to be the best in WE's history for Prime M-Su 8p-11p delivery of HH, W18-34, W18-49, W25-49 and W25-54. To date in 05/06, WE has +260% more original telecasts during Prime M-Su 8p-11p than in the same time period during the 04/05 season.
