TLC FINISHES FEBRUARY 2018 AS THE #1 CABLE NETWORK ON WEDNESDAY NIGHTS WITH WOMEN 25-54 AND 18-49, AND AS THE #4 AD-SUPPORTED CABLE NETWORK IN PRIME

February saw Single- to Double-Digit Growth vs. YAGO on 5 Nights of the Week

(Silver Spring, MD) - TLC closed February 2018 with its highest rated February Prime performance in four years with W25-54 and W18-49 demos, making it the #4 ad-supported cable network among these demos in Prime for the month. The network also saw single to double-digit increases year-over-year in Prime on five nights of the week. This growth was driven by new series and returning fan favorites on Wednesday and Sunday nights.

TLC finished out February as the #1 cable network on Wednesday nights among key W25-54 and W18-49 demos. This was driven by the sixth season of MY 600-LB LIFE which is averaging 1.8M P2+ viewers, and pacing as the series' highest-rated season ever with W25-54/18-49. Also on Wednesday nights, freshman transformation series FAMILY BY THE TON averaged 1.2M P2+ viewers. It was the highest monthly Wednesday Prime performance among W25-54 ratings since February 2017.

TLC was the #3 cable network on Sunday night among W25-54/18-49, driven by SISTER WIVES and SEEKING SISTER WIFE. Averaging 1.9M P2+ viewers, SISTER WIVES was the #3 cable program in February among W25-54/18-49 in its Sunday 8-10P time period. New series SEEKING SISTER WIFE is averaging 1.2M P2+ viewers, making it the #2 program in February among W25-54/18-49 in its Sunday 10-11P time period.

Also in February, TLC was the fifth most social reality cable network on Facebook, up +2 spots from January, and #6 on Twitter, up +2 spots vs. January. For the second consecutive month, MY 600-LB LIFE was TLC's most social show, with each February episode ranking as the #2 most social cable reality program on premiere nights. SEEKING SISTER WIFE more than doubled its January social interactions for new episodes, making it the #5 most social reality cable programs on Twitter.
