NEW YORK, NY, April 25, 2011 – As part of the network’s licensing program launched last year, WE tv (www.WEtv.com) has created a collection of five DVDs under the banner "Weddings WE Love," which will be sold exclusively at Target stores nationwide and on Target.com. Showcased every Sunday on WE tv, wedding programming continues to be a popular genre for the network and personifies WE tv’s new brand position "Life As WE Know It," which signifies the connection women share based on similar life experiences.
"Weddings WE Love" is a collection of five DVDs with each title featuring five full hours of a popular WE tv original wedding series, including My Fair Wedding with David Tutera, Bridezillas, Platinum Weddings, Amazing Wedding Cakes and Girl Meets Gown. The first three titles will launch in Target stores this month; the remaining two DVDs will be released in August. "Weddings WE Love" is distributed by Millennium Media Services, a content aggregation and distribution company.
"’Weddings WE Love’ is a way for women who already enjoy WE tv to further connect with the brand and serves as a touch point for new viewers," said Jen Robertson, Senior Vice President, Digital Media & Business Development, WE tv & Wedding Central. "This collection is also a way for consumers to experience WE tv’s original wedding series and helps build buzz and excitement for future seasons. We’ve had great support from our partners Millennium and Target, and we’re so excited to reach the retailer’s vast customer base throughout the country."
