Hallmark Channel to Air Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures

LOS ANGELES: Hallmark Channel has picked up the exclusive cable right for Jack Hanna’s Animal Adventures from Litton Entertainment.

The series will premiere October 3 and will be presented weekly on Saturdays at 6 a.m. as well as on Sundays at 8 a.m. Hanna, one of America’s most beloved naturalists and adventurers, takes viewers on journeys each week to learn about animals and the places they live.

“This popular series about Jack Hanna and his animals is the perfect addition to our schedule,” said Michelle Vicary, the senior VP of acquisitions and scheduling at Hallmark Channel. “It’s a popular series that appeals to all age groups, and it will also be attractive to our sponsors and distributors. In addition, while online video is becoming more prevalent these days, it is increasingly difficult to find family-friendly product in the space. We are dedicated to also providing an online home for this kind of popular content.”
