NEW YORK, NY

Since its launch in 2021,

Great American Media

has transformed from a single television network into a fully integrated entertainment ecosystem spanning national television networks, streaming service, FAST channels, digital products, direct-to-consumer experiences, highly touted Original productions, and strategic distribution partnerships.

In just five years, the company has built a diversified portfolio that includes

,

, and an expanding family of digital and FAST channel offerings – creating unparalleled opportunities for audiences to engage with Great American Media content wherever and however they choose.

At the center of growth has been a commitment to consistent, year-round programming. Great American Media now delivers new content
every week
, supported by a robust pipeline of Original movies, Original series, seasonal events, faith programming, lifestyle content, and one of the deepest libraries of family-friendly entertainment in the industry.

“Over the past five years, we have accomplished something few media companies have achieved in today’s marketplace,” said

Bill Abbott

, President & CEO, Great American Media. “We have built a scaled, multi-platform entertainment company with national reach, a loyal audience, and a year-round content engine anchored by faith, family, and inspirational storytelling. Our success is a testament to knowing our audience, serving them consistently, and remaining true to the values that matter most to them,” Abbott concluded.

The company has also emerged as one of the most dominant forces in holiday programming.
Great American Christmas
has become one of television’s premiere seasonal events, supported by a library of more than 150 Original Christmas films, annual tentpole programming, and the recent launch of a dedicated 24/7 Great American Christmas channel on GFAM+, giving viewers year-round access to the content they love. This year, Great American Faith & Living launches new franchise, Miracles of Christmas, a distinct holiday viewing experience that further expands the reach of Great American Media’s formidable library.

Today, Great American Media reaches audiences across linear television, streaming, FAST channels, digital platforms, and direct consumer experiences, creating a uniquely diversified business model that combines the reach of traditional television with the engagement of streaming and the discoverability of digital platforms.
