NETWORK ALSO UNVEILS "SLIGHTLY OFF" BRAND REFRESH

NEW YORK - October 1, 2018 - IFC announced today that it is launching SLOTH, a new slow TV "channel," across the network's OTT apps. SLOTH provides free, unauthenticated slow TV with an absurd twist, perfect for late-night viewing. The topical, curated content will roll-out monthly, allowing viewers to watch something slow for every season, starting with October's "Black Cats Watching Scary Movies."

Said IFC Senior Vice President, Digital and Integrated Marketing, Kim Volonakis Granito, "SLOTH takes the concept of slow TV in an absurd direction every month. With today's relentless news cycle, this is a chance for viewers to tune-in and zone out."

Starting Monday, October 8, SLOTH will launch exclusively on Amazon Fire TV with "Black Cats Watching Scary Movies". It will be available across all OTT platforms (Apple TV, Xbox, Amazon Fire, Roku) starting Monday, October 22.

SLOTH will offer the following content over the next six months:

· October: Black Cats Watching Scary Movies - 13 black cats watching scary movies

· November: Midterm Madness - a vintage collection of real and rare campaign moments

· December: Santa's Wish List - children react to Santa Claus

· January 2019: Resolutions - retro work-out videos

· February 2019: Get Laid - brick laying in real time
