Turner Classic Movies Launches Social Networking Site

Fans Can Connect and Share Photos, Blogs, Movie Reviews and More at TCM
Classic Film Union

XXXXXX, June 10 /PRNewswire/ -- Turner Classic Movies (TCM), which is
celebrating its 15th anniversary this year, has launched a first-of-its-kind
social network that links fans online. The site, called the TCM Classic Film
Union, can be found at tcm.com/fan.

"TCM fans are devoted to the world of classic film, and they want to connect
with others who share their passion," said Molly Battin, senior vice president
of brand development and digital platforms for TCM, TBS and TNT. "TCM has
long been a forum for these fans, but this new fan community takes it to the
next level."

The TCM Classic Film Union is an easy way for fans to set up personalized
profiles and link to friends. The film union features unique, in-depth ways
to express movie and film preferences.

TCM also has taken the concept of a social network in a completely new
direction. The TCM Classic Film Union allows users to connect to their
favorite movies and stars, all in vast, media-rich, classic film universe set
up by TCM. Using the networks' database, TCM has added more than a million
people (including actors, directors, producers and more), plus hundreds of
thousands of films. The TCM Classic Film Union allows anyone to immediately
add these links to their personal network and begin sharing ideas and media
with others. For a serious movie fan, there is no bigger repository of
materials about films and filmmaking.

While the TCM Classic Film Union is in its beginning stages, early adopters
have already built extensive profiles. Some users have posted rare photos and
video clips. Others have created blogs or developed groups to discuss
celebrities, genres and favorite classic film subjects.

Unlike other social networking sites, the TCM Classic Film Union is targeted
at movie lovers. "The great thing about this new community is that it lets
fans get together in ways that have never been possible before," said Richard
Steiner, vice president of digital platforms for TCM. "We're amazed at the
excitement we've already seen, even though the film union is just getting
started. The ability to find stars and movies from such a deep library is
clearly a huge draw for fans. And they are creating connections and finding
new friends."
