GAC MEDIA PRESS RELEASE:
NEW DIRECT-TO-CONSUMER APP WILL FEATURE ORIGINAL SHORT-FORM CONTENT FROM GAC FAMILY TALENT
NEW YORK, NY – May 17, 2022 – GAC Media today announced the development of Great American Community, a new direct-to-consumer app featuring short-form lifestyle, seasonal and holiday content from GAC Family’s beloved family of talent. The company has commissioned more than 200 hours of original content exclusively for the ad-supported app, which will be available in mobile app stores and on connected devices. Great American Community will launch in September 2022 with a celebration of the fall season.
“Since launching GAC Family original programming last October, fans have been asking us for more opportunities to engage with our roster of talent, which we believe is the best in the business,” said Bill Abbott, President and CEO of GAC Media. “Great American Community will serve as a stand-alone app delivering a completely new experience for consumers hungry for trusted, family-friendly content that is relevant to their lives. We’re thrilled to be rolling out the app in time for the fall season, and look forward to working closely with brand partners as we offer this groundbreaking opportunity to align with our talent and connect with GAC’s passionate fans.”
GAC Media has tapped veteran producer Tracy Verna (“Home and Family,” “The Price Is Right”) to oversee all content creation for Great American Community, which will include short-form lifestyle content featuring Debbie Matenopoulos (“Home & Family”), Cameron Mathison (“Home & Family,” “General Hospital”); as well as Shirley Bovshow (“Home & Family,” home and gardening expert), Kym Douglas (“Home & Family,” lifestyle expert), Maria Provenzano (“Home & Family,” DIY expert), Larissa Wohl (“Home & Family,” animal expert), Lawrence Zarian (“Home & Family,” fashion expert), Toya Boudy (culinary expert), Amber Kemp-Gerstel (DIY expert), Emily Hutchinson (baking expert), Jamie Tarence (cooking expert), Mahaila McKellar (lifestyle expert); and other fan-favorite stars from GAC Family, including Jen Lilley, Jill Wagner, Danica McKellar and Trevor Donovan. Additional marquee talent will be announced at a later date.
Great American Community will feature fresh advice and inspirational stories from experts at the top of their fields, including health and wellness, home and décor, cooking, gardening and more. The new app will also be home to GAC Giving and Caring™, a new digital series that focuses on the many ways that GAC Family talent gives back. GAC Giving and Caring will raise awareness for important causes supported by GAC stars, such as bullying prevention and pet adoption, and will encourage fans to get involved to make a difference in their communities.

If you're curious how much this app is going to cost, well... according to nexttv.com, "At launch Great American Community will probably be free to consumers, but GAC is considering creating additional content and features that might appear on a premium tier."
It's exciting to see how GAC Media is further developing their brand and creating new content to reach out to even more viewers. I'm thrilled to see the variety of options GAC will be offering through their app, especially GAC Giving and Caring™, which the press release states as "a new digital series that focuses on the many ways that GAC Family talent gives back." I have a feeling that will end up being my favorite!

ReplyDeleteI think this sounds fun. I enjoyed watching Home and Family and to see so many from Home and Family on the GAC app sounds wonderful. I'm looking forward to everything they are doing--all the movies and now the GAC app. Thank you for posting the press release Net. Have a blessed day. xo Karen
ReplyDeleteThis sounds like it will be full of great content! I hope it will also include lists of GAC original movies and checklists, similar to the Hallmark app. Jennifer R.
