While Hallmark Channel is still quite new to producing original scripted TV shows, the execs still have to pay attention to ratings. Which TV shows are most likely to be cancelled or renewed? Stay tuned.
Scripted Hallmark Channel shows listed: Cedar Cove, Chesapeake Shores, Good Witch, Ride, The Way Home, When Calls The Heart, and When Hope Calls.
Last update: Ratings added for the most recent episode of When Calls The Heart.
There’s lots of data that Hallmark execs look at when deciding whether to renew or cancel a TV series but ratings are the major ingredient. Here’s an updated listing of all of their recent/current primetime scripted shows.
Note: If you’re not seeing the updated chart, please try reloading the page or view it here.
A couple of notes about these charts:
These figures are updated automatically as new ratings are released (usually a day or so after the broadcasts). The averages are based on the final national numbers (live plus same day viewing). For technical reasons, I have to resort them manually so feel free to let me know if I missed something.
The demo numbers, which are typically most important to the broadcast networks, aren’t quite as vital to cable channels because their audiences are usually much smaller. Demo numbers are typically reported using the 10ths decimal place (2.4, for example). In the averages, I’m using an extra decimal for easier ranking.
What do you think? Are you surprised by any of the ratings? Which shows should be doing better? Which one do you think will be cancelled next?
Hallmark channel movies are ssooooo bad, anyone with a brain should not watch them. second rate scripts and second rate actors/actresses. my two year old could write better. why not hire writers that could actually write stories and they DON’T have to be all romantic ones. I don’t even check what’s on, as I know I won’t want to watch it
Why do you insist on showing those awful Christmas in July movies? Your ratings are awful’ What audience do you seek? Taking off good shows for crappy movies. Idiotic!
I always looked forward to Western Month in July but so called Xmas movies have taken over majority of year. I’m through with Hallmark I mostly watch Great American Family (GAF) for the programming that Hallmark use to provide even the actors are leaving & heading to GAF that should’ve woke them up but Hallmark just digs their heels in & continues on with bad decisions & programming ☹️
Hallmark’s Christmas movies in the past brought in higher ratings. If they didn’t this year I would say something else is going on. What seems funny to me is people complaining about how many Christmas movies air and how often while they show over and over for years old TV shows airing them too much most of the year. Marathons for many of them. I get tired of seeing those same old shows aired most all the time!
I have never taken the time to post a review. But, I am soo disappointed in Hallmark. This used to be my favorite channel. This channel used to be based on morality and faith. Most of the people who watch Hallmark, did so because of the pure, faith, based programs. It hurts my heart, that this once loved station, has not taken the time to support its true followers. I pray and hope those of you who work for Hallmark will have the courage to begin a new faith based network. I am sad that so many actors and actresses… Read more »
So disappointed in Hallmark station, use to be my favorite; since it is no longer a family station, my family won’t be watching anymore.
