CROWN MEDIA FAMILY NETWORKS AND PHILO RENEW AFFILIATE AGREEMENT, PROVIDING VIEWERS WITH CONTINUED ACCESS TO HALLMARK'S FLAGSHIP LINEAR NETWORKS

New York, November 22, 2021 - Crown Media Family Networks and Philo announced today that they have reached an agreement on a multi-year partnership renewal, providing Philo subscribers with continued access to Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and Hallmark Drama. The announcement comes as Crown Media continues to roll out its highly popular slate of 2021 holiday programming, which has propelled Philo subscribers to flock to the service, further establishing Hallmark movies to become the most-watched on the platform for the month-to-date.

"Our movies are currently leading Philo's viewership charts, so we know there is a great demand on the service for our content," said Crown Media President & CEO, Wonya Lucas. "With this renewal agreement, we look forward to continuing to entertain Philo subscribers and bringing them more of the positive, feel-good Hallmark programming they know and love." "Philo viewers are huge fans of Hallmark holiday programming, so we are thrilled to extend our partnership with the Crown Media Family Networks to continue to offer their content to our community. In fact, so far in November, Hallmark original movies have been the top watched movies on our platform," said Mike Keyserling COO and Head of Content and Distribution at Philo. "With family-friendly entertainment and 41 original movies this season, Hallmark is clearly synonymous with the holidays on our platform and beyond."
