Streaming Changes…
There’s been a lot of talk recently about streaming.
Hallmark movie content left Peacock on May 1st.
And now, friendly TV subscribers, have you heard the latest news? (Faithful It’s a Wonderful Movie follower Jim just alerted me to this.)
Streamable shared, “Roku, the largest streaming provider in North America, announced that it had acquired the family-friendly streaming service Frndly TV.”
See details here:

Let’s hope there won’t be any drastic changes, for those of us who subscribe to frndly TV. It is already a great service at such an excellent price.
On My Watch List…
This weekend, I’m looking forward to watching all three of the new programs!
I’m most excited to see the 5th episode of “When Hope Calls”! (Hoping to watch tonight on Pure Flix!) This season has been truly wonderful. Each episode is so beautiful; my only wish… is that each episode and this season could be longer.
And Hats Off To Love looks fun. Ginna Claire Mason is such a joy to watch! I just wish they could’ve filmed this movie in Kentucky at Churchill Downs, since that is the setting for the story.
I couldn’t get into the first Love Club Moms movie, but I’ve always liked Rebecca Dalton and Corey Sevier, so I’m hoping this one is better, even though some of the reviews on Amazon are mixed.
Please note: I haven’t pre-screened the new movies listed above. If you’d like to post a review on whether a film is family-friendly, please share in comments.
I hope you all have a lovely first weekend in May… filled with lots of sunshine and pleasant weather!
Blessings to you all,
