In July 2005, there were rumours that Sparrowhawk were going to launch a sister channel to the Hallmark Channel, called Hallmark 2[3]. This was denied by a spokesperson for Hallmark who said that a second channel from Hallmark will not be launching "anytime soon"[4]. Movies 24 was launched instead.
