Variety

After eight years, Hallmark announced via Facebook on Saturday it has ended its answer to the Puppy Bowl. In response, Bill Abbott, the former CEO of Hallmark parent company Crown Media, who now leads rival upstart GAC Media, expressed interest in reviving Kitten Bowl, which Beth Stern (wife of Howard Stern) has co-hosted. “Kitten Bowl was a passion project that everyone involved will always be deeply proud to have been a part of. Grateful we were able to find fur-ever homes for so many,” he tweeted Sunday, Feb. 6. “Please continue to support Animal League in their mission to find all these animals loving homes. #GetYourRescueOn and #adopt a furry friend!”
