ABC FAMILY

Distributed to over 86 million homes, ABC Family offers fun, light-hearted entertainment for viewers of all ages. The channel features original series, movies and specials, major theatrical releases, acquired product, and programming from the ABC Television Network.

Over the past year, the channel developed an integrated approach to sales, marketing and programming, which led to the most successful Upfront sales season in its history. Year-to-year annual Upfront revenue grew 18 percent.

In 2003, the channel launched an ambitious slate of programming, including a new afternoon teen block, six original movies, several primetime series and a slate of branded specials. Most recently, ABC Family premiered the original movie Beautiful Girl starring Marissa Jaret Winokur and Fran Drescher, and Picking Up and Dropping Off from Executive Producer Lisa Kudrow. The coming year will also see the second season premiere of ABC Family’s reality series My Life Is a Sitcom.

SOAPNET

The first and only network devoted exclusively to soap operas, SOAPnet is available in 33 million homes, up nearly 30 percent year-to-year.

SOAPnet offers a wide variety of soap programming 24-hours a day, seven days a week. SOAPnet’s primetime schedule features same-day telecasts of top-rated ABC daytime series. The network also airs two original series, Soap Talk, a daily talk show hosted by Lisa Rinna and Ty Treadway – which was nominated for four Daytime Emmy Awards – and SoapCenter, a news magazine that takes viewers inside the shows and behind the scenes. In 2003, SOAPnet added several key acquisitions to its line-up including Another World, Dallas, Dynasty, and numerous original specials.

SOAPnet consistently ranks in the top 10 networks in primetime with women 18-49 and 25-54, as well as number one in viewer loyalty, beating all broadcast and basic cable networks.
