CULVER CITY, Calif.,
Jan. 30, 2015 /PRNewswire/
-- getTV is turning one on Tuesday,
February 3, and viewers are invited to the birthday party!
To commemorate this milestone day, the network will take to Twitter
and Facebook at 6 a.m. PT,
encouraging viewers to share their own film stories, favorite
classics, and more using #1STMovieMemory, while testing their
knowledge of Oscar®-themed trivia. Additionally, the month includes
a new Tuesday block (The Year Was), as well as premieres of IT
HAPPENED ONE NIGHT (February 1)
and HIS GIRL FRIDAY (February 4)—both making their debuts on
getTV.
Start each week with Jack Lemmon in 10 of the Oscar®-winner's
finest films, Monday nights in February. The block includes Lemmon
and Judy Holliday in IT SHOULD
HAPPEN TO YOU and PHFFFT! (February 2); MY SISTER EILEEN with

WEDDING; and Dorothy Dandridge

BEDFORD INCIDENT.
