Post-NBC
For nearly three decades, the series ran on NBC, but the network dropped it in late 1978 due to declining ratings. Since then, the series has been seen on CBS from 1979 to 1989 (except for one episode, which was seen on PBS in 1981), then on ABC from 1989 to 1995, then CBS again from 1995 until 2011, when that network cancelled the series due to low ratings.
On November 27, 2011, Hallmark Hall of Fame returned to ABC with Have a Little Faith, which debuted to very low ratings for the night. The total number of viewers was estimated at 6.5 million, compared to 13.5 million for the Hallmark Hall of Fame presentation of November Christmas on the weekend after Thanksgiving in 2010.
Encore broadcasts of these ABC episodes will air on Hallmark Channel a week after their initial airing on ABC. The films will also be available for streaming on SpiritClips.com a few days after airing on ABC.
Many recent Hall of Fame movies repeat on the company's Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel and are available on home video and DVD, distributed through Hallmark Gold Crown Stores and online at Hallmark Hall of Fame.
