For nearly a dozen years, Expense Abbott has actually worked as president and CEO of Trademark Channel, which expanded its shows and took pleasure in increased rankings and ad earnings during his period. So an announcement Wednesday from the channel’s moms and dad business that Abbott is resigning was somewhat unexpected, per the Los Angeles Times— though perhaps not a 100%surprise, considering the hubbub surrounding ads that were pulled then brought back in December, throughout the height of Trademark Channel’s holiday season. “I want to thank Bill for his several years of success and contributions to Crown Media and want him continued success,” stated Hallmark Cards President and CEO Mike Perry (Trademark Channel is owned by Crown Media, which in turn is owned by Trademark Cards).
Trademark Channel discovered itself at the center of debate last month when, after pressure from a conservative advocacy group, it pulled commercials for wedding preparation website Zola that featured same-sex couples at their weddings, including two brides kissing. Adweek notes that while management hoped the “black eye” of the controversy would die down, Trademark Channel still canceled an event it usually holds as part of the Television Critics Association winter press tour earlier this month simply to prevent being bombarded with questions about the Zola ads. Perry states he’ll now begin searching for a new Hallmark Channel chief.
