"WHEN CALLS THE HEART" BREAKS HALLMARK CHANNEL'S SOCIAL MEDIA RECORDS FOR THE 3RD CONSECUTIVE WEEK

Most Recent 1-Hour Episode Becomes the Most-Watched and Highest-Rated of the Season

The third season of Hallmark Channel's original primetime series, When Calls the Heart, is in full swing with the newest episode averaging a 2.3 HH rating and 2.6 million Total Viewers on a Live+3 basis, becoming the highest-rated and most-watched 1-hour episode among HHs and Total Viewers this season. In the series' 9pm time period, the Sunday, March 13th premiere elevated Hallmark Channel to be the 2nd highest rated network among HHs and Total Viewers, excluding news programming.

The series also continues to ring in social media success, with last Sunday's episode becoming the network's most social program of all time. The premiere garnered the highest Tweets of any Hallmark Channel series, movie, or special premiere and registered 7% growth over the previous record holder, held by this season's fourth episode and prior to that, its third episode, marking three consecutive weeks of social media history for the network. Competitively, the episode was the 2nd most-Tweeted series airing a new episode during Sunday Total Day.

The third season of When Calls the Heart continues on Sunday nights with a brand-new episode premiering March 20 at 9 pm ET/PT, 8C. In the episode, "Forever in My Heart", as Jack (Daniel Lissing) prepares to take a big step toward building a life with Elizabeth (Erin Krakow), Abigail (Lori Loughlin) welcomes Becky (Ali Skovbye) back into her home before making an emotional decision about their future as a family.
