Have UPtv and Hallmark Mystery given up on Sunday nights?

 UP is like Ion in that its (new) movie releases seem *very* seasonal - IOW, they do ("new") movies around Christmas time, and almost no other time throughout the year. (UP may do a few movies at other times, but it's rare.)
 

For that matter, has Hallmark Mystery had any premieres since the name change?

 A few. But very few.
 When Hallmark lost most of their headliners to GAFfe channel, it obliterated their mystery movie series, and Hallmark Mystery mostly got out of doing them as a result.
 They tried to launch a "Aurora Teagarden" mystery "reboot" with Skyler Samuels, and one or two other new "mystery" series, but I'm not sure any of them got beyond *one* initial movie (which isn't much of a "series"!!)
 

Their website says they have a premiere on Friday night:

 OK, so that answers that - the new Nikki DeLoach mystery series got past one movie.
 But I don't think any other "new" mystery movie series have...
 

And they are Hallmark Mystery, not Hallmark Mystery Channel as I was thinking.

Interesting. According to this:

Hallmark Mystery is planning to do more "(Young) Aurora Teagarden" flicks with Skyler Samuels. In addition, they seem to be starting up another mystery series starring Jodie Sweetin (blech!). And are actually bringing back "Signed, Sealed, Delivered" for more movies!?!!
