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?
what happened to Debbie Mantenopolis on Home and Family, she left suddenly and didn’t see mention of why
Please bring back When Calls the Heart for season 5. I love this show!! When is Jack coming back!!!
Keep when call the HEART, IT nice to see a warm loving show with morals
Please Keep When Calls the Heart and bring Jack back. Don’t let it end without a happy ending. I watch it faithfully and wait for each season. I check to make sure my timers keep it scheduled so I don’t accidently miss the start. This is my favorite of all channels ( Signed, Sealed, Delivered is second).
Please please do not let WCTH END….devoted fan
Why is Season Four of When Calls the Heart so short? And, of the 9 episodes a whole 3 were missing Mountie Jack!!!! Crazy way to build ratings, remove the heartthrob. Please renew the show. I have binged and re-binged season 4 twice already for that crazy ” I have to go, Elizabeth” ( Where is my fan???) sequence . I need emotional closure ( LOL) they have to get married and live happily ever after.
Please, please, please tell me that Mr. Mark Steines is going to stay with the show. Please forgive, as I do not want to be rude, but it just seems like some people are trying to push him out or off the show. Please tell me this is not true, as I really, really love the Hallmark channels, movies and shows. I so much like the fact that they are family friendly. I especially like Home and Family, because of Mr. Steines and Ms. Mantenopolis, and appreciate the information they provide, along with cooking/recipes and DIY/how to’s. Thank you for… Read more »
This show has went down hill ever since the firing of Cristina! Debbie and Mark both are so struck on them selves, it’s a loud battle to see who wins getting attention. Debbie is the worst! She may be a nice person off this show but on camera she is loud, rude and immature for a middle aged woman in her forties. Same reason she was fired from other programs will be her downfall here. You can’t teach class, you either have it or you don’t. And she does not!!!!
Wanda… You must not have watched the show in it original form because Mark is a difficult host to watch because he loves his own voice over everyone else. And as for Debbie,? She is just rude and inappropriate how she interrupts anyone who is talking. She thinks she’s in charge of directing the show or her job is to move along a guest segment when she rushes them and tries to talk along with them. So irritating I no longer watch.
I think it crazy that Hallmark cancels all of these shows but will replay a Hallmark movie over and over. Sometimes I have seen the movie so many times that it makes me change the channel, then I am not watching Hallmark at all…not sure that’s the point?
Don’t cancel any of our shows I love all the shows on hallmark how do you get the ratings for the place in the US
Please bring back chesapeaks Shores because I love that show
Yes keep on
Please bring back Chesapeake Shores because I loved it
Please bring back Cedar Cove. I loved this show and ALL of Debbie Macomber’s books/stories!
Is it true they are replacing Debbie Metonpolis with Candace Cameroon Bure on Home and Family?
I love Candace Cameron Bure! Please don’t replace her!!!!
Any one would be better than Debbie!
Has a decision been made about renewing Chesapeake Shores for 2017?
Chesapeake Shores returns for the second season August 2017.
Hated Cedar Cove was cancelled. My daughter and daughter-law and I watched the series and enjoyed it so much, what a disappointment.
I agree! I loved Cedar Cove! Please bring it back!
