Great American Media Bets on Streaming with New GFam+ Service
In a move that reflects the broader industry shift away from traditional television, Great American Media has launched GFam+, a new direct-to-consumer streaming service. The launch provides a direct streaming feed of its cable channel, positioning the company to reach its audience and capitalize on the growing trend of viewers “cutting the cord.”
This strategic pivot allows the network to deliver its programming directly, bypassing the need for traditional cable carriage. As more households embrace streaming, GFam+ provides the Great American Family channel feed for viewers who may not have it in their existing TV lineup.
The service itself operates as a 24/7 live channel, essentially providing a streaming version of the main cable channel. This format provides a traditional, linear viewing experience for fans of the Great American Family and Great American Faith & Living brands, setting it apart from on-demand libraries like Pure Flix.
Programming on GFam+ will feature the same mix of daytime faith and living content, primetime movies, and popular holiday programming that viewers would find on the cable channel, including series like “When Hope Calls.”
For viewers interested in the service, GFam+ is available now for $4.99 per month or through an annual subscription of $49.99. The service is accessible across multiple devices and can be purchased via its website or through various app stores.
