LOVEFiLM HITS 2 MILLION MEMBERS -service experiences record-breaking year

LOVEFiLM has announced we have reached two million subscribers driven by a record number of sign-ups in the fourth quarter of 2011. We added hundreds of thousands of new customers that now have access to LOVEFiLM Instant, which provides a unique offering of instantly streamed film and TV series, combined with the vast selection of DVD, Blu-ray and Video Game rentals.

This is the fastest customer growth rate LOVEFiLM has experienced since 2009, a lot of hard work from the entire team this year and proven worthwhile.

LOVEFiLM  also now offers an unlimited streaming-only package which provides access to films and TV shows via LOVEFiLM Instant for an introductory price of £4.99 per month. Customers can access the LOVEFiLM Instant digital service through a range of devices including PlayStation®3, Xbox, iPad™ and a variety of other internet enabled devices.

LOVEFiLM SIGNS ANOTHER STREAMING DEAL, TO LAUNCH ABC TV ON DEMAND IN THE UK

LOVEFiLM has partnered with Disney UK in a deal that will give LOVEFiLM members access to full seasons of some of the most iconic American television series ever created as part of our LOVEFiLM Instant service.

From this month popular series such as Castle, starring Nathan Fillion, as well as all six seasons of Lost, ranked by critics as one of the top US TV series of all time will be available to LOVEFiLM members with streaming packages.

The Golden Globe and Emmy-winning Desperate Housewives, hit comedy Happy Endings, critically acclaimed medical drama Grey’s Anatomy, Ghost Whisperer – starring Jennifer Love Hewitt – and every episode of Brothers & Sisters, which earned actress Sally Field an Emmy, will also be available on-demand later in the year.

Shows will be launched as full seasons after their first run on UK pay and/or free TV. Previous seasons of some series will even be available to members before the next season airs on UK television.

This is the latest TV content deal with a major US Studio to be announced by LOVEFiLM – Europe’s leading TV and movie subscription service. It follows a number of recent TV deals including BBC and ITV, which have added to the expanding collection of top TV content, together with thousands of movies, already available on LOVEFiLM Instant, from studios and distributors including Sony, Warner Bros., Entertainment One and STUDIOCANAL.
