Hallmark Channel’s first original series, Cedar Cove, averaged a 2.0 HH rating, was seen by nearly 16 MM unduplicated viewers and made Hallmark Channel the #1 rated cable network on Saturday nights!
 
How do you define success in the workplace?
Being challenged, happy, having fun and contributing to the overall goals.
 
Best trick for maintaining the personal-professional life balance?
Defining what life balance means to you and not worrying how others define work-life balance.
