Bounce TV Sitcom In The Cut Most Watched Original Series Ever on Bounce; CBS Announces New Agreement with Amazon for Library Series and New Summer Series

Bounce TV -- the nation's fastest-growing television network designed for African-American audiences -- continued its ratings climb in the third quarter of 2015, setting network records for viewership and the delivery of key targeted demographic audiences in both Primetime and Total Day with September becoming the network's most-watched month ever. The third quarter was Bounce TV's fourth consecutive quarter of growth. In The Cut became the Most-Watched Original Series Ever. Helping fuel the network's strong quarterly performance was the first season of the original series In The Cut starring Dorien Wilson and Jackee Harry. The show was an instant hit and has become the most-watched original series in Bounce TV's history, averaging 259K Households, 148K A18-49, 143K A25-54 and 345K Total Viewers across all premiere telecasts. Season three of another hit Bounce TV series, Family Time, starring Omar Gooding and Angell Conwell, now takes over In The Cut's time slot, premiering tonight (Tues. Oct. 6) at 9:00 p.m. ET.

Amazon Prime Instant Video

Building on the success of Amazon's exclusive in-season licensing agreement for Under the Dome and Extant, Amazon and CBS Corporation announced a new multi-year, multi-series agreement to make Prime Video the exclusive subscription streaming home for three new CBS summer series through 2018. The first new CBS series included in this deal will be next summer's highly anticipated comic-thriller Braindead, which Prime members in the U.S. will be able to stream just four days after broadcast at no additional charge to their membership. Braindead is a comic thriller from Robert and Michelle King, acclaimed producers of The Good Wife. Set in the world of D.C. politics, the series follows a young fresh-faced Hill staffer (Mary Elizabeth Winstead) getting her first job in Washington, D.C. and discovering two things: the government has stopped working, and alien spawn have come to Earth and eaten the brains of a growing number of congressmen and Hill staffers.

This deal will also extend and expand CBS and SHOWTIME titles available to Prime members. Popular programming including Medium, The Tudors, The L Word, the original Twin Peaks series, America's Next Top Model, I Love Lucy, Penn & Teller, The Amazing Race, MacGyver, Brotherhood and Sabrina, the Teenage Witch. CBS Films available for Prime members include the Golden Globe-nominated films Inside Llewyn Davis and Pride, among others. Prime members can watch CBS titles and more via the Amazon Video app for TVs, connected devices and mobile devices, or online at www.amazon.com/primevideo – Prime members can also download titles on iOS, Android and Fire devices for offline viewing. Customers who are not Prime members can sign-up for a 30-day free trial at www.amazon.com/prime.
