From a single cable channel, Lifetime Entertainment Services has now grown to three networks – Lifetime Television, LMN and Lifetime Real Women – a thriving online business, LifetimeTV.com, and 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 The Hearst Corporation and The Walt Disney Company.

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 nearly 93 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 “Army Wives,” the most watched series in the network’s 23-year history, “Side Order of Life,” and “State of Mind” – marking the first time a basic cable network has ever launched three new dramas for the same night in the same season. The largest producer of original movies on all of television, Lifetime has produced 180 Lifetime Original Movies since 1990.

Featuring a monthly showcase of Original Movies on the first Saturday of every month, LMN, launched in 1998, airs contemporary films for and about women, including made-for-television movies, mini-series, select theatrical films and independent film acquisitions. Genres include drama, suspense, family, romance, issue-oriented, comedy and mystery. With the stars they know and the stories they love, LMN offers nearly 200 different titles each month, including exclusive film and cable premieres, and is the women's portal to Hollywood.

LMN is available today in 54 million homes across the United States and is the second most watched women's network on basic cable behind sibling Lifetime.

Launched in August 2001, Lifetime Real Women is a 24-hour, seven-day-a-week, ad supported cable network with true-to-life programming told from a woman's point of view. From exclusive original series to true-story based films, Lifetime Real Women offers a full range of reality based programming for and about women, emphasizing the emotional and moving aspects behind real-life situations.

Lifetime Real Women's compelling lineup includes the biography series "Intimate Portrait," featuring the amazing personal stories of women from the diverse worlds of art, politics, business, entertainment and sports.

Dedicated to using the power of the media to make a positive difference in women's lives, Lifetime has created "My Lifetime Commitment," a series of public awareness and advocacy campaigns — on-air, online and in communities around the country — in partnership with more than 200 leading nonprofit organizations, corporations and key, bi-partisan political leaders. "My Lifetime Commitment" includes initiatives to provide helpful resources throughout the Network's programming, to Stop Breast Cancer for Life, to encourage women and girls to have the self confidence to Be Your Own Hero, to ensure that Every Woman Counts in the halls of power, to promote Living Healthy and to work to End Violence Against Women and was recognized with the prestigious Governor's Award Emmy® from the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences.
