Great American Family Channel – Rolls Out Christmas Movie Schedule
Bring out the Christmas tree ornaments and get ready to deck the halls with boughs of holly. Because new Christmas movies will begin airing soon on the Great American Family channel. And former Hallmark Media CEO Bill Abbott hopes that his company can challenge Hallmark’s niche in airing new Christmas movies each year, noted Yahoo.
2022 marks a turning point for Great American Family. Because the new company started last June, the network needed time to publicize the channel. As a result, its Christmas films got overlooked.
But the company hopes that using Hallmark Channel’s formula for debuting new holiday movies each weekend will work to make this year the one where its audience makes the switch. And the Great American Family channel has developed an impressive line-up of stars who left Hallmark. For instance, Candace Cameron Bure inked a contract to develop, produce, and star in movies for the new network.
