E! will close out 2013 with three consecutive months of year-on-year growth in Primetime (8-11pm), up 20% for the timeslot among P18-49 (256K) in fourth quarter. Propelled by the continued strength of Keeping Up with the Kardashians, E! News, network specials and other core franchises, in addition to the new hit series Total Divas, Hello Ross and Eric & Jessie: Game On, the momentum has continued to build with the network on pace to deliver 31% year-on-year growth in Primetime in December.

On the digital side, Eonline is on pace to score its biggest year to date with a record-breaking 17MM average monthly multiplatform uniques (comScore), up 46% over 2012, and 400MM average monthly multiplatform page views in 2013, up +31% year over year. In October 2013 (most recent available), Eonline scored a record high 20MM average monthly multiplatform uniques (comScore). E! reached the #1 ranking in multiplatform and mobile across all key demos (A18-49, A18-34, W18-49, W18-34) vs. Entertainment News and Womens Lifestyle sites and E! mobile is red hot delivering 60% of overall impressions and 10.3MM monthly uniques, up +66% vs last year. Additionally, E! scored social media records for the year with 16MM mentions in 2013 for all E! series, 33MM social followers and #1 Klout score in TV (tied only with CNN and ESPN).
