Live Channel Lineup
New York, NY – September 4, 2025 – Great American Media today announced that Great American Family and Great American Faith & Living are now carried on YouTube TV, expanding the network’s linear distribution to millions of additional households across the U.S. Great American Media’s streaming service, Great American Pure Flix, will also become available on YouTube’s Primetime Channels lineup in future weeks.
“This agreement ensures that Great American Family is available live to even more viewers across the country,” said Bill Abbott, CEO of Great American Media. “YouTube TV has become a vital platform for families who want the best of traditional cable channels in a modern streaming package, and we are excited to make our networks part of their lineup.”
The timing aligns with the upcoming 5th annual Great American Christmas, one of television’s most popular seasonal events, which will now be accessible live to YouTube TV subscribers for the first time. Last season, Great American Christmas propelled Great American Family into a top 25 network and the fastest-growing entertainment network on cable television.
Paul Snow, Head of Media Partnerships at YouTube said “We are happy to welcome Great American Family to YouTube TV’s extensive library of news, sports, and entertainment. This partnership furthers our commitment to providing a broad spectrum of programming that resonates with all families.”
Abbott said the timing of the agreement was also ideal for viewers looking to watch Great American Family’s new original series, Crossroad Springs, which launched Saturday, Aug. 30.

If any of you have YouTube TV, I would love to hear from you, and get your thoughts on this. I'm so excited for you... that you'll be able to see Crossroad Springs, the Fall movie premieres, and especially... *Great American Christmas* Year 5!
Happy watching,
Net
Great news! More exposure = more viewers!
ReplyDeleteI know they worked hard to get the platform to carry the channels.
ReplyDeletedstoutholcomb - They sure did! I'm so glad it's finally official!
DeleteI have been waiting for this news for a long time. Thanks for sharing, Net.
ReplyDeleteJim, Well, I'm happy to share. And thanks also to Gabe's Mom for the tip on this news early over Labor Day weekend! :)
DeleteThanks, Net for the good news. Glad to read the official press release. You tubeTV is the streaming service we use. Hubby likes the news and sports offered. Adding GAF is the icing on the cake. Before this, we had Frndly TV because of GAF and the price per year. We discovered a lot of other channels of interest so it stays.
ReplyDeleteIf more revenue is coming in for GAF will they upgrade production or programming (non-movies)? I would like to see a family friendly talk show with Cameron Mathison as the host. Subjects such as cooking, crafts, DIY home improvement projects and visits from actors in the GAF community might be interesting. Okay, so I live in the positive.
Take care all,
Gabe’s Mom
Gabe's Mom, That all sounds great to me! I have a feeling that a daytime talk/lifestyle show like Home & Family is the dream/goal down the road and yes, Cameron would be perfect to bring back in that host role!!!
DeleteSo glad you & your family will get to enjoy GAF on YouTube now. Thank you, again, for the early tip over the weekend. :)
Wonderful news! I had to subscribe to Frndly when I switched to YouTubeTV last year. DIRECTV was just becoming to expensive.
ReplyDeletealiciablythe1013, So wonderful to hear from you! I'm so glad you'll have the option to watch Great American Family on YouTubeTV now, as well as Frndly.
DeleteI know the cable prices from DirecTV and other providers are terribly high now. I really need to look into YouTube TV now myself. Quick question - are you able to record on YouTubeTV like you do on FrndlyTV? If so, that sounds really great!
Glad you enjoyed this news! :)
Net-I am going to jump in here on the question of recording. I found Frndly to be easier to record over You Tube TV. I am not sure on the saving timeframe on You Tube TV. I think most services base saved time limit on the package you purchase. It may be six of one and half dozen of another.
DeleteTake care.
Gabe’s Mom
Yes you can record on YouTubeTV!
DeleteI will say with Frndly, I do enjoy that they offer Dove channels (although that channel doesn't allow recording, not sure why) and Lifetime. I know many of the Lifetime Christmas movies aren't always the most family and faith friendly but at times they offer some good stories. The only thing I have found with Frndly is the recordings expire in a year. I used to keep my Christmas movies for forever so I can watch whenever I want.
Gabe's Mom, Thank you for the info! I'll definitely look into that. The saving timeframe is really important to me, especially with recording Christmas movies! :)
Deletealiciablythe1013, Yeah, I like to check out the Dove movies, too! I also wish I could record them, but it's also nice that they can be viewed anytime.
DeleteAlso... I'm just like you! Wish I could keep some of these Christmas movies forever!!! Streaming has benefits and drawbacks sometimes.
And I also love many of Lifetime's Christmas movies. Over the years they've had many, many good ones! I try to catch "A Gift Wrapped Christmas" every time Lifetime plays it during Christmastime!!!!!
Thank YOU so much for sharing!!! :)
