Candace Cameron is on a mission, and it isn’t one that’s typical for her field.
According to Newsweek: Fuller House star has joined the GAC Network in a “prominent executive role” to produce quality family entertainment.
You may be familiar with Candace, who has long been a Hallmark Channel staple. GAC and Hallmark will now be going head-to-head, according to reports.
The family foray’s being led by President and CEO of GAC Media Bill Abbott. Not coincidentally Bill was previously the CEO of Crown Media, Hallmark’s parent company.
In a statement, Candace said she’s psyched:
“GAC fits my brand perfectly; we share a vision of creating compelling wholesome content for an audience who wants to watch programming for and with the whole family.”
Given the times, Candace getting a new gig has a positively political flare: The notion of “family friendly” is in considerable flux.
Disney and Nickelodeon are two examples of companies that have made notable cultural stand:
Disney Park Holds the Company’s First-Ever Official Gay Pride Celebration
Nickelodeon Creates the ‘Trans Youth Acting Challenge’ to Help Aspiring Transgender Child Stars
Culture Catches Up for the Kiddos: ‘Blue’s Clues’ Reboot Teaches Children the Letter ‘P’ is’ Full of Pride’
Disney Lops ‘Ladies and Gentlemen,’ Bounces ‘Boys and Girls’ in the Name of Inclusion
Disney Thinks Tinker Bell and Captain Hook Are ‘Potentially Problematic’
Disney Channel’s first gay couple makes history: The Mouse is History
Could this make it possible to offer more traditional programming? Candace is a great person to help.
Her own political experience is clear: The View’sFor seasons 19 and 20, token conservative
Und she was amazing: At 45, the now-45 year-old held her own and never seemed unlikable.
She has the rare ability to unify people.
Perhaps she’ll create content that can do the same.
But don’t be surprised to find messages of faith. Here’s what she told US Weekly last June:
“When it comes down to it, I just want [my children’s significant others] to love Jesus the way I love Jesus.”
It’s a deconstructing time for family and children affairs.
Directions are set across cultural landscapes:
SCOOP: In a video obtained from Disney’s all hands meeting regarding the Florida parental rights bill I was able to see that Latoya Raveneau, executive producer, said her team had implemented a “not at-all secret gay agenda” which is “adding queerness” regularly to children’s programming. pic.twitter.com/eJnZMpKIXT

GAC’s choice seems clear. Newsweek
While Hallmark was diversifying its programming, Abbott took control of GAC with backing from Hicks Equity Partners, a business with ties to the Republican National Committee and the Trump family with plans to create “a family-friendly programming destination of broad appeal based on traditional values” (per The New York Times). In a statement, Abbott said his mission was to “deliver on the promise of safe and entertaining storytelling.”
And in the near future, America will get treated to entertainment from someone who could’ve climbed Hollywood’s Rated-R ladder into acclaimed feature films, but instead chooses priorities of a different sort:
