Commercials

I do not want to see two men or two women getting engaged, hugging or anything else on this channel. Please stop this!!!! Your channel is the only channel that I watch, because its the only channel that I thought wouldn't give into the lgbt agenda. Your channel does very well without having to promote this lifestyle. Trust me its a lot of people in this world that do not want to see this on their TV screen.

Fags

You people are sick!!!!! I was having a birthday party with a dozen young children and your sick commercial put two queers on tv kissing.
That is sick. Me and the other six adults in the room immediately swore off purchasing any of your products.

Commercial

I do not want to see two men getting engaged and hugging! Your Valentine's Day commercial is disgusting!! You won't let cuss words on your channel but you allow that? Some of us still consider it a sin! Don't care what the Supreme Court says, marriage is between a man and a woman! Some of us are very offended by gay marriage! The commercial is not like a show we can turn off! It's a commercial that pops up in between something else we are watching! I am very disappointed in Hallmark! Do you think that makes you politically correct? That is way over rated! I thought you believed in family values!

Offended by Hallmark Card Commercial

I am very offended by Hallmark's card commercial. The last thing I want to see on Hallmark Channel is two gay men in an intimate embrace. If I wanted to see that garbage, I would watch LOGO channel. Before advertising I would think your marketing department would consider your viewing audience.

Hallmark Christmas Movies

I'm sorry, I know there are so many people that love the Christmas movies, but there are way too many with the same basic story and they are on for too many months. During the year my TV is almost glued to the Hallmark Channel but 2 months, plus two weeks in July, of 24 Hr Christmas movies has almost made me never want to watch the Hallmark Channel again. Maybe only have one or two weeks in Dec and call it good. By the time Christmas actually gets here I am almost bummed out!

Hallmark channels

When I record the Hallmark channels and try to play ii back it jumps so I miss some of the conversation. I can record other channels and never have that happen. What is going on and is there a way to fix it?

Sound Volume

I have a problem with the sound volume on the Hallmark channels on cable. The volume is significantly lower than other channels. This makes it a minor irritant to me as I have to adjust the volume when switching to or from the Hallmark channels. This is a larger problem for my sister-in-law in NY who is hearing-impaired. She is unable to fully understand the dialog, even on full volume on her TV.

Lack of diversity

I am a Hallmark movies and Hallmark Mysteries fan. One complaint I would like to share is the lack of diversity in your casting, and especially in lead roles. Featuring women and men of color would reflect the world around us and show that the old fashioned stories can be engaging and encompass a broader vision of what appeals to all your growing viewership.

No Hispanics

My mother and I love the Hallmark channels and we have been watching for years however we are wondering why there is no diversity. Every storyline is about a white business woman or a few of a white single mom that meets a successful white man. How about changing it sometimes? In the real world there is such thing of successful Hispanics, Asians and Blacks.

Advertising

You show station id during shows cuting off half the picture during a airing of the show tool time you cut off the captions with station id and caused me to miss the end of the show is this necessary i mean hey i allready know what chanel im on i think it could wait till after the show or during Comercial there is far to much commercialism in tv today anyway almost 50 percent isn't that enough why is it necessary to advertise while the show is playing as well why show anything but Comercials if thats the case ?

Little House and Waltons!

I am a huge fan of your channel. Please never change showing Golden Girls...they are classic! My wish is to see Little House on the Prairie again. I also discovered the Waltons on your channel but then it was taken away. I used to turn on your channel and NEVER CHANGE IT FOR HOURS. Sadly this is no longer the case...

Hallmark Channel

I love romance, also am a writer/author of short romance stories. Hallmark Christmas movies and their love stories throughout the year I adore except for one thing, the lack of diversity. Recent movies in 2017 have included women of color, but only as the best friend who doesn't even get a love interest in the storyline. I am a women of color and wonder if Hallmark doesn't view women of color as romantic beings or do they think women of color main characters don't attract the typical Hallmark viewer as BET, TV One and Lifetime may do. I enjoy the wholesome storylines, typical love stories, and wish Hallmark could look at their brand and just diversify it a little. As I said I write love stories and try to mix up the cultural aspect. Love is blind. I won't boycott Hallmark but if your writers need an assist in mixing it up, here I am.

Background music

The music is too loud and it makes the dialogue hard to understand. If you'll notice in the commercials the music isn't nearly as loud. That's because they WANT the dialogue to be heard and understood. I would appreciate you considering this annoying issue. Dixie White

Lack of Diversity on the Hallmark Channel

I absolutely LIVE for the holiday season and beyond because of the movies Hallmark Channel presents...I've read comments from so many individuals who comment on others comments (like mine) regarding diversity on Hallmark. Some are dismissive, vulgar, and often refer individuals to other channels that offer a more diverse body of actors & storylines...so of course they assume that Hallmark shouldn't. I often wonder if those who make these statements are those who are represented in abundance on this lovely channel. I don't want to stop watching Hallmark, I also don't appreciate being deferred to "another channel" when I'm making an honest observation about enhancing a channel that already seems to have their heart in the right place. I am a woman of color, an educator, and a lifelong fan of Hallmark movies & cards...this comment is meant as a loving and genuine critique of a channel I truly adore. PLEASE consider and look to hire actors of color in LEADING roles on your channel...not because it's "pc" but because it's right, makes sen$e, and it's a true representation of our world and a reflection of what our creator wants for all of us as brothers & sisters in these messy times. We all experience, heartbreak, love, reunions, passion, reflections, dreams, loss, defeat, success, despair, and redemption...it's not unique to any particular ethnicity...but to many of my students, friends, family, and co-workers who love Hallmark (especially during Christmas!) as much as I do, they are just as disheartened as I am and get the idea that only some individuals are privy to experiencing the spectrum of the human condition. I don't believe that this is the intent of Hallmark at all, but I do believe that there may be a lack of individuals with power that are coming forward and effecting real change. I read in an interview once that the response of, "we film in Canada" was given as a possible reason for the lack of diversity, but that does not make it okay (...and I know they have folk-of-color in Canada just like they do in the US). I'm just someone who prays that more of us work to come together in the world in new & creative ways instead of being content with remaining the same and separate. I so appreciate the foundation & tapestry of love that Hallmark works to weave every year with their programming...I just want it to be more vibrant, rich, & representative of those who live it (or those of us who escape in a Hallmark film...I would love to see someone like me fall in love with the Prince...lol). No hate just honesty, love & peace. Thanks for reading.

Old reruns of golden girls Colombo and Matlock

I am so disappointed at all the old reruns. What are you doing. All day and starting at 10:00pm at night. We have to pay extra for these channels. I prefer your original programming. I don't find golden girl appropriate for younger children. Guess I will have to leave these 2 channels. I have enjoyed your programming for many years. So very disappointing

Can you tell me if this is temporary or is it an ongoing programming policy.

People of Color

Your movies don't show people of color with leading rolls. Why is that? A black person is always a receptionist, best friend, co-worker, etc. Never a lead. No Hispanics at all...Ever
What is up with that? I see complaints from 2012. Maybe there is no intention.

The Same Old Movies

I love watching the Hallmark Channel but they play the same movies over and over again. I also agree with some of the comments - there should be more diversity. Come on Hallmark....

White Christmas

Both black and white people I know strongly agree that Hallmark movies are too white.

I can just about cue in the "black best friend" in the beginning of every movie. Better yet, the introduction of the black best friend who then goes away for the rest of the movie, as if Hallmark is doing it to say, "See? We put black people in our movies!"

Hallmark, Asians, Latinos, and African Americans like to celebrate the holidays, too! And white people like to see them featured in movies!

Repeating same movie

Why are movies repeated several times over a few days? There must be thousands of movies to chose from.

We love the Hallmark channels, but would like to see different movies every night.

Diversity

Are there any African, Asian or Latin people in Hallmark land? Because, aside from the diversity in Murder, She Wrote and Mystery Woman, they appear to be non-existent. The Hallmark original series are populated pretty much exclusively by Euro American women. The settings are American, but the populations are ALL of European descent. Are they all set in Forsyth, Georgia???

no African Americans

In Florida we don't have white Christmas but if we did want one...al we had to do is turn to hallmark channel. There are SO many minoritie actors and actress please use some of them. I think Mary J Blige would make a GREAT mystery solver. Just think about it.

Lack of diversity

Like Hallmark for their wholesomeness and mysteries. I would really like to see more African Americans and other races on your shows . It seems that your station only views Caucasians as wholesome. Could you please add more diversity?
Thanks
