Bolstering its family entertainment programming, Sling TV today
launched Crown Media Family Networks’ two distinct networks,
Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, now available
in the “Lifestyle Plus Extra” add-on pack for both its Orange and
Blue Services.
“Families are embracing our service and the wide array of
family-friendly programs on Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies
& Mysteries makes Sling TV the perfect option for families
looking to customize their entertainment,” said Roger Lynch, CEO of
Sling TV. “Just in time for the holidays, subscribers can enjoy
both networks’ seasonal programming events, which include original
movies and special programs like the ‘National Christmas Tree
Lighting’ on December 5.”
“We are delighted to partner with Sling TV and to further extend
the reach of our unique brand of family entertainment,” said Bill
Abbott, President & CEO, Crown Media Family Networks. “The
timing of these launches couldn’t be better as we embark on our
holiday season and the October 29th kick-off of our
highly-anticipated and top-rated 24/7 seasonal programming events –
‘Countdown to Christmas’ on Hallmark Channel and ‘The Most
Wonderful Movies of Christmas’ on Hallmark Movies &
Mysteries.”
Hallmark Channel on Sling TV features a diverse slate of
original family-friendly content including light-hearted romantic
movies, primetime scripted series, annual specials, and
