Lifetime Television is a leader in women’s television and one of the top-rated basic cable television networks. Launched in 1984, Lifetime now serves more than 96 million households nationwide.  

Far and away the most popular women’s network, Lifetime has significantly increased its commitment to original programming, which has been rewarded by audiences and critics alike, highlighted by the smash hit “Army Wives,” the most watched series in the network’s 24-year history. 

An ensemble drama series about the struggles, dreams and friendships of a diverse group of women -- and one man -- living with their spouses and families on an active army post, “Army Wives,” which stars Kim Delaney (“NYPD Blue”), Sally Pressman (“Shark”), Brigid Brannagh (“Over There”), Brian McNamara (“The O.C.”), Sterling K. Brown (“Starved”), Wendy Davis (“Commander in Chief”), Drew Fuller (“Charmed”) and Catherine Bell (“JAG”), returns for its second season Sunday, June 8, at 10PM (ET/PT).

 Lifetime Networks and The Weinstein Company have entered into a groundbreaking partnership that will move cable’s top reality series, the Peabody Award-winning and Emmy Award-nominated “Project Runway,” to the top network for women, Lifetime Television, beginning November 2008 with the premiere of season six. Heidi Klum, “Project Runway’s” international supermodel host, and Tim Gunn, Chief Creative Officer at Liz Claiborne, Inc. and mentor to the show’s contestants, are both fashioning their new home at Lifetime.  Also in the reality pipeline are two more series from The Weinstein Company, “Models of the Runway” (November) and “Project Pygmalion” (2009),

 Lifetime has produced nearly 190 Lifetime Original Movies (LOMs) since 1990. Most recently, “The Memory Keeper’s Daughter,” starring Dermot Mulroney, Emily Watson and Gretchen Mol, premiered as the network’s most-watched original movie since 1995.  On June 28, “The Tenth Circle,” starring Kelly Preston and Ron Eldard, premieres.

  “How to Look Good Naked,” hosted by Carson Kressley, premiered as the most successful reality series in network history and returns for a second season with an expanded hour-long format on Tuesday, July 22, at 10PM (ET/PT). The network’s daytime and late night schedules also feature encores of popular broadcast series such as “Grey’s Anatomy,” “Desperate Housewives,” “Medium,” “Reba,” “Will & Grace,” “Frasier” and “Still Standing,” with “Wife Swap” joining the schedule in August.


From a single cable channel, Lifetime Networks has now grown to three networks — Lifetime Television, Lifetime Movie Network and Lifetime Real Women — a thriving digital business including myLifetime.com, along with numerous award-winning public advocacy campaigns. 

 The reach of Lifetime — on-air, online and in communities — has been profound. Hundreds of nonprofit organizations report that Lifetime’s commitment to addressing issues and raising awareness of breast cancer, violence against women, race relations, school bullying and AIDS, has fostered greater understanding and tolerance in their communities. Lifetime has also been credited by bipartisan members of Congress and administration officials with shaping public policy, using the vast power of the media to enact legislation to make video voyeurism a federal crime and putting more rapists in jail.

 Lifetime Entertainment Services is a 50/50 joint venture of Hearst Corporation and The Walt Disney Company.
