Guthy-Renker and PerfectMatch.com set a new precedent in direct-response television marketing — the first infomercial driven by an online service and the first-of-its-kind to explore the online dating and relationship phenomena. The 30-minute program will air beginning Nov. 20 in most major markets and on cable channels, including LIFETIME Television who recently signed a multi-year programming partnership with PerfectMatch.com.
