Crown Media Family Networks has secured carriage for Hallmark Drama on DISH.

Hallmark Drama joins sister networks Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries in the DISH lineup. Starting today, the network will be available to subscribers of the America’s Top 200 and above programming packages as well as DISH’s Heartland package.

“DISH has been a long-time valued affiliate partner and this agreement is an exciting step for Hallmark Drama as we work toward expanding its footprint,” said Erin McIlvain, the executive VP of distribution and content strategy for Crown Media Family Networks. “With both Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movies & Mysteries continuing on a path of significant growth, it is clear that there is a strong appetite for our content and we are confident that DISH subscribers will embrace this new service, which offers an unduplicated lineup of even more of the unique family-friendly programming they have grown to love and expect from Crown Media.”

”Hallmark Drama brings even more holiday movies into DISH homes this season and offers year-round entertainment for the entire family,” said Andy LeCuyer, DISH’s senior VP of programming. “This channel unlocks DISH customer access to classics from the Hallmark vault.”
