Despite trying times in the industry, Great American Media CEO Bill Abbott believes his faith in building a cable network is being rewarded.
Last year, total-viewer ratings for Abbott’s Great American Family rose 76%, one of the biggest reported jumps for any network. In the first quarter, revenue rose 21% from Q1 2023, per the network, indicating demand for the family-friendly formula that the former Hallmark Channel head has brought to his new business.
