Crown Media Family Networks said it has wrapped up its 2019-20 upfront ad sales, locking in double-digit gains for both price and volume.
The company’s twin networks, the Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, have bucked the broader trend of cratering ratings. With its wholesome, stars-of-a-certain-age-studded programming lineup and events like “Countdown to Christmas,” which will mark its 10th anniversary this fall, Hallmark has proven to be a draw for viewers and, therefore, advertisers. Demand was particularly strong in the retail and telecom categories.
Hallmark recently renewed one of its mainstays, When Calls the Heart, for a seventh season despite the controversy swirling around one of its stars, Lori Laughlin, who was implicated in the college cheating scandal. The network wrote Laughlin out of the show and severed all ties with her.

Here's a rumor that could be interesting to watch: Skins creator Jamie Brittain recently mentioned that there's an American version in the works.
Now, there are plenty of reasons why this could go badly. Iit's pretty easy to imagine American producers backing away from the series' many daring storytelling choices, which included not following the characters beyond high school (showing the gang taking separate paths into adulthood) as well as the unflinching depiction of sexuality (including the gay kind) and drug use (including the consequences).
Whether an American Skins turns out to live up to its potential or winds up a total wreck (Hi, Coupling!), the fun part of these adaptations is seeing how the characters may transform in the casting, so lets try to come up with a few suggestions.

CW has successfully pulled off creating teen dramedies that get under the viewers' skin, thus enabling the show to survive for a couple or more seasons. Take One Tree Hill or Gossip Girl, two of the most popular teen shows of its time. Now, the CW is investing in yet another show that will definitely bring in the laughter and drama, and not to mention, the bling. Privileged, which debuts on the CW in September 9, is no Gossip Girl rip-off.
In fact, Comic-Con audiences see it as a cross between Gilmore Girls and Gossip Girl. Oddly enough, it might be a mixture of both shows. The show, which will air every Tuesday at 9pm, stars Lucy Kate Hale and Ashley Newbrough as the filthy rich kids under the tutelage of Megan Smith, played by Joanna Garcia.
Recently, Lucy Kate Hale wrote her thoughts about the show on her official website.
