Hallmark Channel Chief Bill Abbott Exits In Aftermath Of Same-Sex Ad Controversy
Looks like there is still fallout from the Hallmark Channel pulling several ads from wedding planner, Zola that centered on a same-sex lesbian couple kissing at their wedding.
Now, Bill Abbott, who has been Crown Media Family Networks president and CEO for the last 11 years, is exiting the company. The announcement was made today by Mike Perry, president and CEO of Hallmark Cards Inc.
No successor has been named. “I have tremendous confidence in the Crown Media management team and, with this team in place, I will begin a search for Bill’s replacement,” Perry said. “I want to thank Bill for his many years of success and contributions to Crown Media and wish him continued success.”
Prior to the firestorm against the cable outlet for pulling the Zola ads, (after conservative group One Million Moms petitioned to have the ads removed) and the network complied, the company was doing well.
Abbott presided over a period of growth and visibility for Hallmark including: Christmas programming and regular opportunities for seasoned A-list stars that in return attracted viewers and ratings. Bill Abbott’s exit is the latest result of Hallmark’s efforts to quickly turn the page on the bad PR.
Deadline reported that according to people familiar with the internal discussions, many people at the network expressed their preference for restoring the ad quickly, while Abbott went against their wishes and kept it off the air.
So, what do you think of Abbott stepping-down and Hallmark parting ways with him? Do you enjoy Hallmark Channel programming or find its fare and formula not diverse and inclusive enough? Comment below.

Judith Light To Receive Prestigious Honor At GLAAD Media Awards In New York
Another wonderful acknowledgement is coming its way to two-time Daytime Emmy and Tony winning actress, Judith Light (Ex-Karen, OLTL).
News on Wednesday has that Light will be honored at the upcoming 31st annual GLAAD Media Awards in New York City with the Excellence in Media Award in a ceremony hosted by Lilly Singh. The ceremony will take place on Thursday, March 19th.
According to Deadline, who broke the news, the Excellence in Media Award is presented to media professionals who have made a significant difference in promoting acceptance of LGBTQ people. Light joins previous honorees Ava DuVernay, Robert De Niro, Patti LaBelle, Debra Messing, Tyra Banks, Julianne Moore, Glenn Close, Barbara Walters, Diane Sawyer, among others, who have received this prestigious award from the organization.
“Judith Light stood up for and with LGBTQ people when others in media and entertainment refused to speak up, and she has never left our side,” said GLAAD President and CEO Sarah Kate Ellis in a statement “When the GLAAD Media Awards first started and was a small event with little visibility, she was one of the few entertainers who would join us in calling for LGBTQ representation, so it is only fitting to now honor her advocacy on what has become the largest LGBTQ stage in the world. From standing alongside LGBTQ people during the AIDS crisis, to fighting for marriage equality, to now uplifting transgender people and issues, Judith advocates with a unique passion and an unending dedication that uplifts.”
Light was honored with the 2019 Isabelle Stevenson Tony Award for her extensive philanthropy work, especially in fighting to end AIDS and championing LGBTQ and human rights.

Hes good at acting but good at getting hurt, too. I remember a leg on a cruise, lol .
Wishing Daniel Goddard a speedy & easy recovery.
My guess is Cane was fighting with Joe.
Ouch! Hope he feels better.
He may have been fighting Joe.
Hope you feel better soon Daniel I am sure it will be awkward for you, even getting dressed will be difficult,
Take care !
A broken elbow..
that is lifelong lingering.
Hope he has workers compensation and a good lawyer LOL ..
wish him a speedy recovery ..
Maybe him and Charlie Pratt got into a fist fight over the demise of the character known as CANE! Speaking of fights, remember the good old days when Cane and Billy used to fight like cats and dogs! They got to get rid of Burgess! He ruins so many story possibilities not fitting in as Billy Abbott!
Gosh I wis he had gotten the injury beating the hell out of Chuck Pratt for literally destroying anything that remotely resembles Y&R!!!
My sincere best wishes for a complete and speedy recovery. I empathize with Mr. Goddard from personal experience, having shattered my elbow 3 years ago.
Hope he feels better soon.
My guess is a fight with Neil.
I think his fight is with Neil after he finds out what he did to Hillery and Devon. Even if it’s not Neil, it should be.
Wishing you a speedy recovery,be careful next time,I loved you in Beastmaster.
Wow… a few years back Billy Miller broke his hand filming a scene on set. And now you hurt your arm. Those are realistic scenes you are filming. Get well soon Daniel. Thank you for all you do to bring a great character to life on Y&R.
So sorry to hear this Daniel. 🙁 Feel better soon! I just hope you made the other guy look worse
Get well soon. Speedy recovery.
I’m assuming you had it out with Joe.
All in a day’s work, huh Daniel? Best of luck, and a speedy recovery…Feel better soon! Love you ☺️
