HALLMARK CHANNEL'S ANNUAL "SUMMER NIGHTS" PROGRAMMING EVENT BOOSTS NETWORK TO #1 IN PRIME TIME

"Summer Nights" Franchise Registers Double-Digit Viewership Growth Among HH, W25-54 and Total Viewers

New York, August 8, 2017 - Hallmark Channel showcased itself as a ratings powerhouse this past weekend with the kickoff of Hallmark Channel's annual "Summer Nights" programming franchise. The first of four new original movie premieres this month, "Love at the Shore" elevated the network to #1 in Prime Time HH ratings on Saturday night.

Additionally, compared to the same time last year, the kickoff of Hallmark Channel's "Summer Nights" registered increases of +12% among HH, +16% among W25-54, and +14% among Total Viewer delivery.

Additional Key Nielsen Highlights (L+SD):

· "Love at the Shore" averaged a 2.1 HH rating and 2.2 million Total Viewers

· The Saturday, August 5, premiere of "Love at the Shore" became the #1 program of the day as well as the #1 movie of the week among HH ratings

· In the 9-11 p.m. time period, the original movie boosted Hallmark Channel to #1 among HH and Total Viewer ratings and delivery

Hallmark Channel's "Summer Nights" will continue with a new original movie premiere every Saturday night throughout the month of August.

In "Love at the Shore," successful and driven single mom Jenna Thompson writes teen novels, and she has only five weeks to deliver the next one to her publisher. So, this year's annual beach vacation with her kids Nick and Ally, will be a working vacation for Jenna. Upon arrival, the family soon meets their new next-door neighbor: a confident, devil-may-care surfer Lucas McKinnon, with whom they will be sharing walls and a patio for the next month. After Lucas finds himself bonding with Nick and Ally, Jenna begins to see a different side of Lucas, and when the two find themselves alone together one evening for dinner, each begins to see the other in a whole new - and attractive - light. Starring Amanda Righetti, Peter Porte and Hallmark Channel's Happy the Dog.
