What Great Media, Inc. does

Great American Media, operating under the legal entity Great Media, Inc., is a privately held, faith-based entertainment company that produces and distributes original family-friendly content across a vertically integrated multi-platform stack. Its owned distribution surface comprises subscription streaming services Great American Pure Flix and GFAM+, a planned Spanish-language SVOD called Pure Flix Familia (announced for 2026), the linear television network Great American Family, and limited theatrical engagements routed through an exclusive partnership with Fathom Entertainment. Content output includes original scripted drama series (e.g., When Hope Calls: Brookfield, Abilene), an annual holiday film franchise under the Great American Christmas banner (now in its sixth year), a newly launched lifestyle series (Jep & Jess: Beyond the Bayou), and special-event programming such as the Great American Rescue Bowl. Production is anchored by a multi-year partnership with Great Point Studios committing more than 20 original films and series, with co-production arrangements involving regional tourism partners such as the City of Branson and Silver Dollar City. The company monetizes through subscription streaming, advertising on its linear network, and transaction-based theatrical ticket splits, serving primarily U.S. faith-based family audiences with a secondary push into Hispanic family viewers through the upcoming Spanish-language platform. Leadership rests with CEO Bill Abbott.
