NEW YORK - September 18, 2013 - USA Network is rolling out the red carpet for MODERN FAMILY and putting fans front and center. The network is creating a massive community of MODERN FAMILY fanatics, dubbed "MOFYs," offering these cult followers unique opportunities to engage with the series -- on-air, online, socially and on-the-ground -- like never before. The series premieres on USA on Tuesday, September 24 at 8/7c and airs five nights a week.

Starting this week, die-hard MOFYs (which stands for "Make Our Family Yours") can congregate at MOFY Nation, (mofynation.com), a central digital hub where fans can interact to share favorite series scenes and personal family moments. Fans will be encouraged to upload testimonials inspired by the series for the rare opportunity to be featured on-air. So what exactly is a MOFY, and could you be one?

"In welcoming this new family to USA, we felt it was important to create a vibrant and socially active community where super fans can share how MODERN FAMILY has affected their lives," said Alexandra Shapiro, executive vice president, marketing and digital, USA Network. "This series has an unbelievably passionate following, and our goal is to turn the spotlight on the fans themselves and engage them on a whole new level."

USA is also announcing today the ultimate MOFY event: an exclusive MODERN FAMILY Fan Appreciation Day, featuring a live table read with the cast, on Monday, October 28 in Los Angeles. Fans can vote online for their favorite episode from a list curated by co-creators and executive producers Steven Levitan and Christopher Lloyd.

The network is rolling out MODERN FAMILY LIVE, where fans can watch, play along on their connected device and see real-time on-air results to polls, fan meters and more.
