Cameron Bure signed with the network to produce and star in GAC media productions.
GAC hired Cameron Bure to get involved in year round productions using her personal production company Candy Rock Entertainment while being part of the annual Great American Christmas.

Almost a year ago, Bill Abbott became CEO of GAC Media. Abbott was the Crown Media, also known as Hallmark, for over 10 years. Abbott was behind Countdown to the Holidays. After almost a year as GAC CEO, Bill Abbott lured Bure away from Hallmark. The actor will star in and produce in many GAC family-friendly movies. The former child star will be in charge of selecting appropriate content for GAC programming. Bure is going to work on developing romantic comedies and holiday films. The Hallmark actor will be looking to recruit some of the Hallmark stars for her GAC projects. Bure wants to move on from Hallmark.
