"Ninety percent of our customers are women," said Tim Matthews, CEO of JTV, "and ironically, ninety percent of women have one or more risk factors for developing heart disease. We view our support of this movement as an opportunity to ignite passion among the millions of women who shop with us. JTV wants the customers we value to make it their mission to fight heart disease."

The "Love Your Heart" initiative begins on February 1, 2011 and includes the following elements:

-- JTV will "Go Red For Women" for 24 hours on Friday, February 4th
encouraging viewers to make it their mission to tell 5 women you want
them to live, and we can help stop heart disease in our lifetime.
-- JTV is releasing a limited edition "Love Your Heart" necklace to remind
women to make it their mission to fight heart disease.
-- Customers will be offered the opportunity to add $1 or more to purchases
to help fund important research and educational programs for the Go Red
For Women movement.
-- JTV is contributing money as well as valuable airtime and other media
resources in support of the Go Red For Women movement.

"It is staggering to think that heart disease is still the number one killer of women age 20 and over, killing approximately one woman every minute," said Tim Matthews, CEO of JTV. "If the Love Your Heart initiative saves one life, we will have used our platform for reaching millions of women effectively," he said.
