The fun and informative two-hour lifestyle program, currently in its second season on the network, is co-hosted by Emmy® Award nominee Mark Steines and TV personality and bestselling culinary author and expert Cristina Ferrare. From its start in 2012, the show has been the ultimate destination for helping viewers live their best lives, showing audiences helpful “how-to” segments on everything from cooking tasty recipes to crafting the perfect DIY décor, finding the best bargains, discovering the newest at-home gadgets and learning weight-loss tips, all while incorporating top entertainment in the form of celebrity guest interviews and musical performances. Home & Family airs weekdays at 10am ET/PT, 9C.
“‘Home & Family’ is such a unique show in the TV landscape as it not only enhances our viewers’ lives, but also provides diverse opportunities for advertisers to reach consumers,” said Bill Abbott, president and CEO, Crown Media Family Networks. “We are incredibly proud of the success of ‘Home & Family’ and with the recent launch of our Hallmark Channel Everywhere App, we look forward to synchronizing ‘Home & Family’ with the new application to bring more opportunities to benefit our advertisers, affiliate partners and viewers.”
“We are thrilled with the success of ‘Home & Family’ and excited to continue bringing our viewers the very best in lifestyle entertainment,” said Michelle Vicary, EVP, Programming for Hallmark Channel and Hallmark Movie Channel. “By combining our award-winning hosts with experts from every field, a peek into the lives of today’s biggest celebrities and our own viewers’ real-life questions and stories, the show has become the ideal daytime destination for audiences who are looking for advice on how to live their best, everyday lives.”
