ABC FAMILY WILL DOUBLE THE AMOUNT OF ORIGINAL PROGRAMMING IT CREATES OVER THE NEXT FOUR YEARS AND EMBARKS ON A YEAR-ROUND ORIGINALS STRATEGY NETWORK ALSO ANNOUNCES PROJECTS IN DEVELOPMENT AND

SUMMER 2015 PREMIERE DATES NETWORK UPDATES ITS WATCH ABC FAMILY APP TO INCLUDE ENHANCED SOCIAL FEATURES AND MORE PROGRAMMING

New York City, New York – Tom Ascheim, President, ABC Family, will announce at its network
upfront today in New York that ABC Family is doubling-down on the life stage that has made it a
leading voice in entertainment for W18-34, W18-49, F12-34 and a top five network with adults, in
addition to having the most socially engaged audience. The network identified and coined the term
‘Becomers’ to describe people in this life stage. Traditionally, Becomers are in high school, college
and the decade that follows and are navigating the wonderful, fun, exciting, and scary time in life
when you experience the most firsts – first car, first apartment, first job, first love, first heartbreak – all the firsts that exists between who they are and who they want to become. Becomers are 69 million
strong in the US, with an estimated spending power in the trillions.

“We are renewing our focus on an especially vibrant and important part of the consuming public, whom we have named ‘Becomers,’ and are committing to this life stage rather than to a generation,“ said Ascheim. Becomers are exploring and establishing who they are becoming – personally, professionally and romantically -- they live in that magical and messy place between their first kiss and their first kid. We are doubling our commitment to original programming and will serve their modern media habits with gusto by reconceiving our WATCH ABC Family app as a marriage of content and fandom that will make it a vital part of their viewing habit.”

Eleven years ago, ABC Family was ahead of the curve when it began super-serving Millennials to become their entertainment staple. Today, nearly 70% of 12-34 year-olds are Millennials but in five years, Millennials will be less than half of the target. For that reason, ABC Family is cementing itself in the Becomer life stage and will grow its reach by creating more programming with added variety,

To visually articulate the Becomer life stage on air, the network has moved into a graphic style that is more textured and organic, combined with a color palette of deep, varied hues. The creative philosophy of the brand is to be conversational, immersive, unpredictable, immediate, emotional and fun. ABC Family talent will be showcased in a new brand campaign that presents the stars in a more relatable and less artificial way – it is a ‘selfie’ approach rather than a ‘portrait’ approach. The look and feel aligns ABC Family’s brand essence with Becomers and captures the casual, vital and urgent way young people interact with one another.

ABC Family also announced that it is breaking ground on a Becomer Insights Group (BIG) to

"I Didn't Do It" Starring Olivia Holt Premieres TONIGHT

The new Disney channel series "I Didn't Do It" starring Olivia Holt premieres tonight at 9:40pm est/8:40 cst. Fan favorite Olivia Holt (Disney XD's "Kickin' It" and Radio Disney Music Award winner) moves to new series role and a new reverse storytelling approach for Disney Channel in "I Didn't Do It," a comedy that tells of the hilarious twists and turns in the lives of five teenagers – ultra-competitive fraternal twins and their three best friends. Each episode begins at the end of a predicament, just after an adventure has gone absurdly haywire, just as twins Lindy and Logan and their friends Jasmine, Garrett and Delia somehow try to explain -- with flashback scenes -- exactly what happened. "I Didn't Do It" series premiere is part of Disney Channel's "JaNEWary" programming event tonight, Friday, January 17 (9:40 p.m., ET/PT), immediately following the premiere of the Disney Channel Original Movie "Cloud 9." Beginning January 26, the series will join Disney Channel's Sunday night family comedy block (8:30 p.m., ET/PT).

"I Didn't Do It" was created by Tod Himmel ("90210," "The Starter Wife") and Josh Silverstein ("So Random!"), and is executive-produced by Himmel and Judd Pillot ("According to Jim," "Dog With A Blog") and co-executive produced by Rob Lotterstein ("Shake It Up").  Silverstein is supervising producer. "I Didn't Do It" is a production of It's a Laugh Productions, Inc.

Olivia Holt stars as ambitious straight-A student Lindy; Austin North stars as the cool, ultra-laidback Logan; Piper Curda stars as the smart fashionista Jasmine; Peyton Clark stars as the obsessive germ-phobic Garrett; and Sarah Gilman stars as the loveable eccentric Delia.

In the premiere episode, Lindy and Logan face their parents who have just returned from a night out, determined to somehow understand just how their home became covered in foam, why pizza is falling from the ceiling, how a goat got into their living room and what happened to Mrs. Klasby, the 91-year-old babysitter.

Set in New York City, the new comedy series will tell the wonderfully funny, heartfelt stories that "Boy Meets World" is renowned for -- only this time from a tween girl's perspective -- as the curious and bright 7th grader Riley and her quick-witted friend Maya embark on an unforgettable middle school experience.  But their plans for a carefree year will be adjusted slightly under the watchful eyes of Riley's dad who's also a faculty member (and their new History teacher) and Riley's mom who owns a trendy afterschool hangout that specializes in pudding.

Jacobs said, "I am grateful to everyone at Disney Channel for the opportunity to reach my favorite audience, which has always been kids.  'Girl Meets World' is a new show for a new generation that will be rooted in the same kind of honest, comedic storytelling about coming of age and the importance of family and friendship that made 'Boy Meets World' so popular."

The series was created by Michael Jacobs ("Boy Meets World," "Dinosaurs," "My Two Dads," "Charles In Charge") and April Kelly ("Boy Meets World") and is executive-produced by Jacobs.  "Girl Meets World" is from It's A Laugh Productions, Inc. and carries a TV-G parental guideline.
