Abbott oversees the company’s growing portfolio of family-friendly entertainment brands including linear networks Hallmark Channel, Hallmark Movies & Mysteries, and Hallmark Drama, in addition to subscription video on demand service Hallmark Movies Now and e-book publishing division Hallmark Publishing. Abbott is an industry veteran with more than 20 of leadership experience in cable, most of which he has spent at Crown Media, which is owned by Hallmark Cards, Inc. Since joining the company in 2000, Abbott’s vision and passion for the brand has established flagship network Hallmark Channel as the leading destination for quality, family-friendly entertainment on cable. Building on its signature slate of original movies, Abbott is responsible for significantly expanding and diversifying the network’s lineup of original content to include primetime scripted series, daytime Emmy®- nominated lifestyle program Home & Family, and such annual specials as Kitten Bowl, Hero Dog Awards, and Paw Star Game.

  • "MOUNTIES" ARE BACK New Canadian TV Series to Feature Royal Northwest Mounted Police
    FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE THE "MOUNTIES" ARE BACK New Canadian TV series to feature Royal Northwest Mounted Police Vancouver, BC — Remember those dashing red uniforms and handsome men on horses? Well, a new television series currently filming in B.C. is bringing "Mounties" back. Based on Janette Oke’s bestselling Canadian book series, When Calls the Heart chronicles the story of Elizabeth Thatcher (Army Wives’ Erin Krakow), a young teacher who is uprooted from her high society life, and unto a classroom post in a 1910s century coal town in the Western Frontier. There, she encounters not only the harsh climate and restless students, but also the town’s new Constable, the handsome Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing). A true Canadian literary hero. The series also features Veteran TV actress, Emmy-nominee Lori Loughlin ("Full House," "90210"), with guest stars Jack Wagner and James Brolin joining the cast. “I'm so blessed that my book series has won over many hearts around the world,” says Oke, “But because the story is set on the Canadian prairie, itself a character with unique personal flavour, 'When Calls the Heart' forever belongs to Canadians. It is incredibly exciting to see my novels come to life through this new TV series, and I can’t wait to share the TV version of our rich Canadian history with a new viewing audience.” Becoming a Mountie, however, isn’t just as simple as donning a Red Serge uniform. Australian-born actor Daniel Lissing had to tap into his inner-Mountie by doing a lot of research. "I was already familiar with the Royal Canadian Mounted Police,” says Lissing, “To prepare for this role, I did a lot of online research, read a lot about their history and took horse riding lessons to help make my character believable.
