We Finally Know Why These Stars Left The Hallmark Channel

When it launched in 2001, the Hallmark Channel initially struggled to find its voice in the crowded world of cable network TV. Today, the channel has become synonymous with second-chance romances and feel-good holiday fare — in 2021 alone, the network premiered 40 new Christmas movies. But Hallmark’s days as the go-to holiday romance channel may be numbered. In 2021, the GAC network rebranded as GAC Family, under the direction of former Hallmark president Bill Abbott. With a new focus came new programming, but a familiar feel and several familiar faces from the Hallmark channel. So what’s going on? We finally know why these stars left the Hallmark Channel. #Hallmark #hallmarkchannel #christmasmovies
