GAC Media Poaches Another Hallmark Favorite in Candace Cameron Bure

Y2kTheNewOldies

Y2kTheNewOldies


Former Hallmark Channel head Bill Abbott has signed a deal with Candace Cameron Bure, who starred in numerous Hallmark projects, to produce and star in programming for his new family-friendly cable channels, GAC Family and GAC Living.



She will also have an executive role at the company, helping to oversee and curate its content, GAC said.


Abbott has been following his old Hallmark playbook since starting GAC Media last year. He loaded his networks with holiday programming starring many faces familiar to viewers of his old channel.


Before signing Bure, Abbott reached an exclusive four-picture deal with Danica McKellar to appear and executive-produce original films for cable network GAC Family, and its sister channel GAC Living.

With GAC Family airing both Full AND Fuller House, this deal with Mrs. Bure was probably already in the works. In terms of its daily programming schedule, it runs more like Antenna (and Rewind) TV than any of the Hallmark networks.

In addition to Full and Fuller House, they also air I Dream of Jeannie, Who's the Boss, and just added The Facts of Life to its lineup at the beginning of April (while it's airing on Rewind and Logo). Its sister network, GAC Living (the former Ride TV) runs more older shows--The Bevely Hillbillies, Father Knows Best, Bonanza, and Hazel, with some original programs sprinkled in.
