Hallmark Channel is an American cable television network owned by Hallmark Media, a subsidiary of Hallmark Cards. The channel broadcasts family-oriented general entertainment programming, including television series and made-for-TV movies. The channel has its origins in the religious broadcasters American Christian Television System (ACTS) and the Vision Interfaith Satellite Network (VISN). The two services timeshared on a single satellite signal, which was later rebranded as The Faith & Values Channel in 1993. In 1996, the channel rebranded as Odyssey Network following the acquisition of a 49% stake by Liberty Media. Hallmark Entertainment and The Jim Henson Company then acquired stakes in the channel in 1998. As Odyssey, and especially after the Hallmark/Henson acquisition, the channel began to increasingly phase out religious programming in favor of a family entertainment format. More information...
