New York, NY, January 13, 2020 – Elevated by the popularity of “Countdown to Christmas”, Hallmark Channel clocked in as the highest-rated and most-watched cable network among Women 25-54 in Fourth Quarter for the fourth consecutive year. In addition, for the sixth year in a row, the network ranked as the #1 entertainment network in Q4 among Women 18+. Despite significantly increased competition in 2019, “Countdown to Christmas” was the year’s most-watched holiday programming event on cable, surpassing audience levels of the nearest competitor by 51%.

Too bad. They'll take that as their incentive to keep putting this same drivel out there. And really, when it gets right down to it, how much other 'holiday' programming is there, either cable or network? Not that much.  UP, Lifetime and Ion offered a number of repeat movies, mostly on weekends, but otherwise, it was pretty much business as usual. As for the networks, a few decades old animated specials and the extremely occasional 'variety' special is about all they can come up with.

The Oprah network had some I read (I didnt see them,).
