A total of 3.8 million unique visitors were drawn to Lifetime Digital sites, including myLifetime.com DressUpChallenge.com Roiworld.com LMN.tv and MothersClick.com in May, representing a
55% increase over the previous month (2.4 million).
May'ss visitor traffic also produced 93 million page views, by far the highest total in Lifetime Digital history, an increase of 42% over the prior month (65.5 million), according to
comScore.
Year-over-year, unique visitor traffic to Lifetime Digital properties doubled (3.8 million in May 2009 as compared to 1.9 in May 2008), while page views grew by a staggering 353% (to 93
million in May 2009 from 20.5 million in May 2008).
We'sre committed to providing content that resonates with our growing audience and expect that connection to only deepen with the launches of the Project Runway (http://www.mylifetime.com/on-tv/shows/project-runway) and Lifetime Moms sites, and re-launch of MothersClick.com later this
summer, said Dan Suratt, Executive Vice President, Digital Media and Business Development, Lifetime Networks. These record traffic numbers for May reaffirm our belief that we can reach
more women than ever before, and are on pace for another record-breaking year overall.

> myLifetime.com (http://www.mylifetime.com/), Lifetime Digital'ss flagship site, drew 3.2 million unique visitors (its
second-highest total in two years) and a record 51.3 million page views. Visitors to myLifetime.com were attracted to the exclusive online content related to the premiere of Lifetime'ss
culinary reality series Cook Yourself Thin, including recipes, tips, full episodes and extras.
Visitors also came to search for content in anticipation of the season three debut of Lifetime'ss hit drama Army Wives, for which Lifetime Digital produced six original webisodes,
available throughout the month of June, and directed by Brian McNamara, who plays Brigadier General Michael Holden in the series. Additionally, myLifetime'ss Stop Breast Cancer for Life
initiative, which included, among other service content, an online petition in support of the bipartisan Breast Cancer Patient Protection Act that was recently reintroduced in Congress,
was a significant draw.
> DressUpChallenge.com (http://www.dressupchallenge.com/), which celebrated its one-year anniversary in April and
re-launched in May, grew in page views by more than 247% over the prior month (to 15.8 million from 4.5 million) on the strength of the re-launch, as well as the new tool from Lifetime
Games - Fashion Maker. The site has already attracted more than 650,000 registered users in just over one year since its launch.
> Roiworld.com (http://www.roiworld.com/), which Lifetime Digital launched in the U.S. in February, continued to show
steady traffic, with 349,000 unique visitors and 25 million page views in May in the U.S. alone. Globally, Roiworld.com which was originally launched in South Korea before being acquired
by Lifetime Digital last year, generated more than 2.6 million unique visitors and 138 million page views during May, according to comScore.
In July, Lifetime Digital will enhance its offerings with the debuts of show sites for the hit unscripted program Project Runway and its all-new companion series Models of the Runway,
which will feature more than 500 exclusive broadband video clips and an extensive community designed for members of the franchise'ss passionate fan base to express themselves and connect
with each other online. The in-depth clips will complement the programs's viewing experience, bringing fans behind-the-scenes with unseen competition footage and into the designers's
homes, the judges's evaluation sessions and much more in unprecedented ways.
Additionally, Lifetime strengthens its offerings to mothers with the July re-launch of MothersClick.com (http://www.mothersclick.com/) and
unveiling of Lifetime Moms. MothersClick.com the community site for women to connect, learn and share with each other, will sport a new design, interface and content offering, while
Lifetime Moms will bring a premier group of high-quality mom bloggers under one Lifetime umbrella as they inspire honest, real and thought-provoking conversations by moms and for moms.
Also this summer, myLifetime.com will unveil a new version of Total Beauty Makeover, enabling women to share their makeovers with the site'ss larger community, vote and rate looks, filter
looks by hundreds of categories, invite friends to Makeover Parties in order to create looks around special events and purchase real-life versions of the products used in the free virtual
makeover tool.
Roiworld.com and Lifetime Games Studios Korea will debut Create-A-Mall, their first downloadable game that challenges women to build their own fashion mall empire. Building on the success
