If you wanted to watch something wholesome, healthy, and free from degeneracy you literally have no where to turn. Hallmark Channel, the last bastion for normal, sane, well-adjusted women to watch shows and indulge in their cravings for positive romance films, is now completely converged and will be tarnishing their Christmas line-up with propaganda attuned to accommodate the tawdry tastes of the Cornhole Commissars.
According to Apsari, Hallmark issued a statement about adding more LGBTQIA+ content to their channel, despite that demographic not even watching Hallmark.
In the article they provided a quote from a Hallmark spokesperson, who stated…
“Diversity and inclusion is a top priority for us and we look forward to making some exciting programming announcements in the coming months, including announcements about projects featuring LGBTQ storylines, characters, and actors. We are committed to creating a Hallmark experience where everyone feels welcome.”
This literally goes against the core demographic of Hallmark Channel, who are mostly straight, white women between 18 and 54, as reported by The Futon Critic. 26.52% of Hallmark’s viewers are 50 and older, according to Statista.
For years, Hallmark has dominated the Christmas season with surprisingly strong numbers from heterosexual romance films, managing to make the top 15 most watched cable stations during the Christmas, 2016 season, according to Deadline.

They managed to move up the ranks throughout 2017, consistently capturing the straight, white female demographic, as begrudgingly admitted to by the Washington Post.
Bill Abbott, president and CEO of Hallmark’s parent company, Crown Media Family Networks, told Forbes that their method of focusing on the target demographic has helped them grow, despite the rest of cable network television and ad delivery for other channels shrinking, saying…
“The demand for the Hallmark brand has never been stronger and we are excited to see the advertising community recognize our position as an industry leader, not only during the 4Q holiday season, but throughout the year,”
Again, Forbes had to begrudgingly admit that despite the media’s persistent attacks against Hallmark for not being “diverse” enough, the channel has still surged ahead in viewership and ad dollar revenue.
In the article, Forbes explained…
“Currently registering more year-over-year (2019 v. 2018) growth in actual Primetime and Total Day impressions among Total Viewers (P2+) and Households than any other of the 115 ad-supported cable networks in 2019 to-date, Hallmark Channel has also faced a few content challenges that had the potential to negatively influence their numbers. Instead, viewership rallied.”
It doesn’t take a genius to figure out that it’s the last safe haven from the Rainbow Mafia racket.
Every other station, channel, broadcast network and streaming service is filled to the brim with LGBTQIA+ propaganda. There’s nowhere to turn to find wholesome, positive, family-oriented content other than the Hallmark Channel.
Heck, even channels dedicated to kids, such as Cartoon Network and Nickelodeon, have gone all in on promoting degeneracy.
Unfortunately, after the Rainbow Reich took aim at Hallmark for removing a lesbian ad from Zola, the company kowtowed to their demands and now they’re further spreading their cheeks for the Backdoor Bandits, ruining their offerings with LGBTQIA+ propaganda.
I imagine their 2020 ratings will still stay solid, but once normal people get a whiff of the LGBTBBQ propaganda, they will likely tune out of Hallmark for the 2021 Christmas line-up.
At this point, though, Hallmark is proving that they really don’t care about money but they do care about spreading degenerate messages for a phantom audience.
Normal people watch it.
Hallmark Christmas shows should be interesting....to not watch.
Coming up next on the Hallmark Channel, “ I saw Daddy kissing Santa Claus” and “A Charle Brown and Linue Snuggly Christmas”.
BTW, if you haven’t cut your cable, do it. This is the reason why you wont miss it
Include me out Hallmark Channel. Visiting the free clinic to have that strange looking wart on the old exit passage looked at isn’t exactly a “Hallmark Moment” in my book.
BET needs more diversity.
Not to mention every single women dreams of going to Paris without knowing it’s gang rape capital of the planet. Duh.
So romantic!
I wouldn’t worry too much about it. If your son is watching the Hallmark Channel he’s already gay.
Read crime novels?
Which do you suggest for I.Q. uppage?
Not any more
Put them all in the same movie and watch it sink. Put a few in each movie and watch the franchise sink. It is up to you Hallmark.
They wouldn’t hire me, dammit.
Do you know the receptionist’s stylist?
That guy said I had potential!
Well, it was actually that guy’s Ti Chi coach’s lockermate.
Though I think my fu is slowly coming together.
Right on!
James Lee Burke is very hard to beat.
Off all the living crime novel writers, I’d put Burke at the top. Especially, Burke’s Robicheaux series.
Of course, the late Arthur Conan Doyle composed some great stories, and inspired a lot of very good imitators.
Time for YouTube videos of women burning their Hallmark channel knickknacks and pillows!
I’d give you Burke.
Although after the first three or four I found the slaughterfests less than real, certainly less than interesting.
I mean, let’s off the perfect girlfriend in the first few pages?
What that is is a writer who is tired of a character.
Maybe the next 20 were dynomite...I didn’t stick around, which is a reader tiring of a writer.
I want movies with straight actors, straight actresses, and straight stories.
I’ve always enjoyed protagonists who were anchored to a place;
Robicheaux : Louisiana
Holmes : London
McGee : Fort Lauderdale etc.
Familiarity is reassuring somehow.
Straight men can enjoy simple romances about straight men falling in love with straight women.
Angel and the Badman.
Robin Hood.
Who watches that LGBT crap anyway?
its not a normal show to begin with..
You're right. I think the next step will be the "body-positivity" crowds demanding more fat people on TV.
“every guy is handsome and so touchy feely...”
And gay.
I stopped watching the channel when they caved on the lesbian Christmas ad. Same thing with CW who has homos and lesbians on every series.
