Two of the largest and most trusted companies in family entertainment are merging. Pure Flix and Great American Media announced on Thursday the signing of an agreement to merge the two companies, saying it will benefit the faith and family audience and “provide an opportunity for each platform to reach a larger and broader audience.”
Actress Candace Cameron Bure is slated to star in her first Christmas film with her new network, GAC Family, following her departure from the Hallmark Channel 5 months ago.
The CEO of Hallmark rival Great American Family says he wants the network to be the go-to for audiences who desire family-friendly programming with actors and actresses who are "role models."
Hallmark competitor Great American Channels Media (GAC) is changing the name of its lead channel while continuing to offer the same family-friendly programming, its CEO says.
Hallmark Channel veteran Candace Cameron Bure has signed a major deal with rival GAC Media to develop, produce and star in movies and television shows, becoming at least the 11th Hallmark star in recent months to agree to appear in projects for the new family-friendly company.
