Chances are there’s not one TV watcher you’ll find who doesn’t watch Hallmark content from time to time. This family-friendly channel has grown quite popular over the years and when it comes to choosing a cable TV provider, its inclusion or otherwise can make or break the deal.
Origins of the Hallmark Network can be traced back to two channels: Vision Interfaith Satellite Network (VISN) and the American Christian Television System (ACTS). The two used to share a transponder slot on the Galaxy III satellite, and over time merged into one.
As the names suggest, these channels used to offer religious programming to viewers. In 1993 however, that started to change. Renamed to Faith and Values Channel, secular programming was added to its broadcast schedule, which included family-oriented drama, cooking, as well as health and fitness shows.
Hallmark however came into being in 2001, when Faith and Values Channel received a makeover and transformed into the beloved channel we know today. Owned by Crown Media Holdings, this popular channel is a household name, and its programming is like staple food for millions of viewers. It has not only proven success with audiences in the US but the world over—bringing joy to all who watch.
But what exactly is it that puts Hallmark among the top channels to watch?
Hallmark is known for the TV-specific original movies it produces. And this is one of the reasons why people simply can’t get enough of the channel. From Holiday movies to Westerns and Romantic Comedy—original movies from Hallmark are known for being stimulating and family-friendly.
Holiday movies are not easy to make—especially when there is a ton of them out there on the same subject. However, each time Hallmark manages to carry on the excitement from one movie to the next with ease—and comes up with clever plots, engaging storylines, and memorable characters that stay with you long after the movie ends. This is no small feat.
The other genre Hallmark excels at is rom-com. Mushy-mushy over the top romance can feel nauseating, but with Hallmark, that does not happen. Given the pattern such movies follow—boy meets girl, they fall in love, fight, and then get back together—these romantic comedies can be very predictable and boring. But, if it is a Hallmark original you’re sure to be glued to the screen till the very end.
Hallmark is one channel that definitely knows how to celebrate in full glory. Whether it’s Christmas or Valentine’s Day they have a lineup of shows and movies that gets you in the spirit. In fact, they divide their schedule according to “themed seasons”. A number of the premiere of their original during these seasons and are a great way to catch the latest movies and new episodes.
The seasons are divided thus: Winterfest, Countdown to Valentine’s, Spring Fever, Countdown to Summer, Summer Nights, June Weddings, Fall Harvest, and Five Nights Stuffed Full of Original Holiday Movies.
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, previously known as the Hallmark Movie Channel, was launched in 2004 and was intended to be a place where the network could show additional movies and series which the limited airtime on the Hallmark channel didn’t allow. In 2014, it was rebranded to what we know it as today.
Hallmark Movies & Mysteries features western, mystery, family-friendly movies along with mini-series that are mainly from the Hallmark Channel Library—inclusive of original films that have premiered on the Hallmark channel earlier on. No matter when you tune into this channel you’re guaranteed to find great content to watch.
All of that and more about the network is why WOW! includes Hallmark in its cable TV channel lineup.
