ABC ANNOUNCES “LOST” THE FINAL SEASON SWEEPSTAKES

New York, N.Y., December 29th, 2009.               “Lost” fans have an opportunity to win an exclusive sneak peek at never-before-seen footage of the season premiere of the sixth and final season of the critically acclaimed hit series. Contestants may enter the sweepstakes at http://lostthefinalseasonsweepstakes.com/.

       Upon registration, each contestant must answer six questions about the show, and are then automatically entered to win one of 815 “messages in a bottle.” The 815 winners will receive a “Lost” bottle containing a USB port that resembles character Desmond Hume’s fail-safe key. The key contains a video with a sneak peek at this season’s premiere – which will be the first time anyone will have seen this footage – along with scenes of last season’s finale. All prizes will be delivered on Friday, January 29.

       The premiere of the sixth and final season of “Lost,” a special all-night event, airs on Tuesday, February 2. A recap special will kick off the night from 8:00-9:00 p.m., ET, followed by the much anticipated two-hour premiere from 9:00-11:00 p.m., ET.

       The series will then air in its regular time period – Tuesday nights from 9:00-10:00 p.m., ET – beginning the following week, on February 9.

SEASON 9 OF "THE BIGGEST LOSER: COUPLES" KICKS OFF TUESDAY, JANUARY 5

Universal City, Ca., December 30th, 2009.               When the new season of NBC's hit series "The Biggest Loser: Couples" kicks off on Tuesday, January 5 (8-10 p.m. ET) with its heaviest cast ever, contestants will not be facing their first weigh-in at "The Biggest Loser" ranch as usual. Instead, they'll be weighing in in their hometowns in front of family and friends for the first time ever in the history of the show.

The eleven couples start their weight loss journeys very publicly in their hometowns, standing on the scale and acknowledging their starting weights in front of the families, friends and communities who will cheer them on throughout their journeys. Then it's off to the ranch, where the teams meet host Alison Sweeney and face their first challenge before they've even had a chance to unpack. And it's the most difficult challenge that new contestants have ever had to face -- a bicycling competition in which each team will have to cover 26.2 miles on stationary bikes, the same distance as the marathon that finalists ran at the end of the previous "Biggest Loser" season. But even more shocking is a surprise twist that makes the stakes higher than ever in the first challenge of the season.

After the challenge, contestants get a chance to spend time together and share their own personal reasons for trying to get their health and their lives back. From identical twin brothers who together weigh close to half a ton, to the heaviest contestant ever weighing in at 526 pounds to several parent/adult child teams eager to stop the cycle of obesity in their families, they all come together eager to transform their bodies and their lives.

Later, after persevering through their first week of workouts with trainers Bob Harper and Jillian Michaels, they weigh in at the ranch to see the results of their hard work - and one contestant breaks a "Biggest Loser" record. Then the contestants head to the elimination room to decide who will be the first player to leave the ranch.

The season premiere of "The Biggest Loser: Couples" officially kicks off the second year of the Pound For Pound Challenge. "The Biggest Loser" is partnering with General Mills, Feeding America, Subway and 24 Hour Fitness on this powerful initiative which allows viewers to help themselves get healthy while helping to fight hunger in their own communities. Viewers can go to www.biggestloser.com now and for every pound of weight loss pledged, a pound of groceries will be delivered to a local food bank.

40TH ANNIVERARY OF “ALL MY CHILDREN” AIRING JANUARY 4 AND JANUARY 5 ON ABC

New York, N.Y., December 28th, 2009.               ABC’s Emmy Award winning daytime drama, “All My Children” will celebrate its 40th Anniversary on January 5, 2010. In celebration of this milestone, the show will welcome the return of Kelly Ripa and Mark Consuelos in two special episodes airing on MONDAY, JANUARY 4 and TUESDAY, JANUARY 5.

“It is always great to come home,” says Kelly Ripa.

“As soon as a few of its colorful residents invaded my imagination over forty years ago, Pine Valley became my second home and family. A very large and loving family, beginning with the devoted writers and talented actors who bring the characters to life. Then production, from the executive producer and her staff, to studio crews, whose technical skills work the magic of television. And all this done day, after day, after day. Finally, but most importantly are the millions of viewers down the decades whose loyalty to All My Children and its quixotic characters has kept us on the air for 40 years. To this family, I am forever grateful,” says show creator, Agnes Nixon.

Ripa, Consuelos and La Rue will be joined by a list of fan-favorite veterans to celebrate “All My
Children’s” 40th anniversary including; Julia Barr, Laurence Lau, Taylor Miller, James Mitchell, Leven Rambin and Eden Riegel. In story, Pine Valley will be elected “The Most Congenial Town in America.” Hayley (Kelly Ripa) and Mateo (Mark Consuelos) return to their home town for Hayley to produce and host a documentary for her television show “The Wave,” as she interviews her family members, friends and citizens who all call Pine Valley home.

The timing of the two special episodes also marks a new and exciting beginning for “All My
Children,” as January 4 is the show’s first day of production in Los Angeles. The state of the art studio will allow the show to move into the future, broadcasting in high definition with more expansive studio space and sets which will enable creative growth and storytelling. The show’s first HD broadcast is anticipated sometime in February.

“All My Children” has successfully maintained its popularity and continues to be one of
daytime’s most compelling dramas. “All My Children” took home the 1998 Emmy Award for
Outstanding Daytime Drama Series, the third time the show received this top honor, having also
garnered the award in 1994 and 1992. In 2004 the show also received its third consecutive Emmy
Award for Outstanding Daytime Drama Series Writing, its third Writers Guild Award and its fourth
GLAAD Media Award in March 2007.

Created by Agnes Nixon, “All My Children” premiered on the ABC Television Network on
January 5, 1970, as a half-hour show; seven years later it expanded to an hour. Julie Hanan Carruthers is executive producer. “All My Children” will be produced in Los Angeles, beginning January 4th, 2010.

"SATURDAY NIGHT LIVE" RINGS IN THE NEW YEAR WITH BACK-TO-BACK SHOWS IN JANUARY

New York, N.Y., December 30th, 2009.                "Saturday Night Live" rings in the New Year with original shows on consecutive weekends, beginning January 9 with Charles Barkley and Alicia Keys returning to studio 8H.

Charles Barkley, who played basketball for sixteen seasons in the NBA, is an eleven time NBA All Star, an NBA Most Valuable Player, a two-time Olympic gold medal winner with Team USA Basketball, one of the NBA's 50 Greatest Players in History, and a member of the Basketball Hall of Fame. Upon his retirement in 2000, Barkley began a new career in television, as an Emmy Award-winning studio analyst for the NBA on TNT. Known for his outspoken and humorous personality, Charles has written several books, including two New York Times best sellers.

Alicia Keys' newest album, "The Element of Freedom," released on December 15, adds to her four chart-topping albums that has made her a worldwide success: "Songs in A Minor" (2001), "The Diary of Alicia Keys" (2003), "Unplugged" (2005) and "As I Am" (2007). Throughout her career, the New York City native has built an unparalleled repertoire of hits and accomplishments with over 30 million albums sold worldwide and numerous awards including twelve Grammy Awards, eleven Billboard Music Awards, five American Music Awards and fourteen NAACP Image Awards.

Academy Award nominated actress Sigourney Weaver takes her second turn at hosting on January 16. Weaver most recently starred in James Cameron's critically acclaimed film and box office smash "Avatar," which has already been nominated for four Golden Globe awards. Weaver's recent film credits include "Infamous" alongside Sandra Bullock, "Vantage Point" with Dennis Quaid and Forrest Whitaker, the animated feature "Wall E," and the Tina Fey/Amy Poehler comedy "Baby Mama." Weaver can next be seen in the upcoming films "You Again" and "Paul."

With a cutting edge, electro-indie-pop sound, The Ting Tings have taken the UK and America by storm. Comprised of Katie White and Jules De Martino, the Grammy-nominated duo's debut album, "We Started Nothing" released the multi-platinum single "That's Not My Name," which climbed the charts in America and reached number one in the UK. The group is nominated for the 2010 Grammy for Best New Artist.
