I guess not everyone agrees with what I selected.

Um, I chose:

The Make Your Mark series is already done for now. The only thing that was announced for this year was "Always on: Episodes will live on Netflix throughout 2024", which apparently means nothing is going to happen.

If that is indeed so, then Hasbro must get out of Discovery Family within the next 11 months so that any remaining G4 content can have a better chance of returning to Netflix by then. And that means put the entirety of their 40% interest in Discovery Family back to WBD.

You know, it isn't right to say such a hateful thing if you're a member on this forum, now, is it? Even though I'm not a G5 fan myself, I would still never say that out loud here.

And it's only gonna get worse. If Hasbro's revenue total for Q2 2024 is less than $1.016 billion, that will result in their annual revenue dropping to their lowest since April 2016.

Hasbro's revenue has also dropped to $4.76 billion, their lowest since early 2020: https://www.macrotrends.net/stocks/charts/HAS/hasbro/revenue

Not me. I kind of need some help. Do you have a good joke for me?

I confidently know that Hasbro no longer providing Discovery Family with new content as of 2021, according to page 108 of the company's annual report for that year. However, the #1 user of the My Little Pony Wiki, ImperfectXIII, is still despising this. I was told that my edits on the MLP Wiki just suggested a speculative correlation between the report and the clip show episodes not appearing on U.S. television., and that the source I provided was not a valid source of proof to that point. https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/User_talk:FirePuppy#Concerning_Hasbro_and_"Friendship_is_Forever" Which again makes me wonder, are the "Friendship is Forever" clip shows ever going to be released anywhere in the US?

Unfortunately, as of today, that is NO LONGER true, because look at this: https://www.equestriadaily.com/2024/04/hasbros-legal-team-is-back-on-youtube.html

After doing some research and spectulation, I found a possible reason as to why we lost most G4 content from Netflix. According to some of the 10-K forms from recent years, Hasbro stated: "The entertainment industry experiences frequent change driven by technological development, including developments with respect to the formats through which films, television programming, other episodic content and recorded music are delivered to consumers. With rapid technological changes and dramatically expanded digital content offerings, the scale and scope of these changes have accelerated in recent years. For example, consumers are increasingly accessing television, film and other episodic content on streaming and digital content networks, such as Netflix, Amazon Prime Video, Hulu, Disney+ and Apple TV+. We may also lose opportunities to capitalize on changing market dynamics, technological innovations or consumer tastes if we do not adapt our content offerings or distribution capabilities in a timely manner. The overall effect that technological development and new digital distribution platforms have on the revenue and profits we derive from our entertainment content, and the additional costs associated with changing markets, media platforms and technologies, is unpredictable. If we fail to accurately assess and effectively respond to changes in technology and consumer behavior in the entertainment industry, our business may be harmed." On top of this, during the fourth quarter of 2021, Hasbro recorded an impairment loss of $74.1 million associated with their investment in the Discovery Family Channel, as the network did turn out to be not successful as they thought. This is what I believe led to the company demanding Netflix to remove all G4 content from streaming, and renewing their contract with the network through March 31, 2025 by the original end of the option agreement. What are your thoughts about this theory?

Same here. G4 does not belong on Discovery Family anymore IMO. But the only thing that can decide all that is the next 10-K form from Hasbro that will be posted in late February 2025. It's also stated that Hasbro is not willing to strengthen/develop the option to acquire their 40% of Discovery Family for 2024.

There's only today and tomorrow left before April starts. Odds are, the first longer-form special still won't be released within these days, under current statistics.

Apparently, Hasbro's proposed plans for this month did not go well as planned, seeing as though all we got this month were two short episodes and nothing else. Which means the "March Longer Form Special" has been delayed to anywhere between April and June 2024, and it's also obvious that G5's linear and AVOD release has been canceled, since today's kids clearly don't watch linear TV. And finally, we're no longer getting new episodes weekly throughout 2024 now, hence the 3-weeks-or-more hiatus we're in.

And there's more. You can use a VPN on this site if you wish, as the UK has Best Gift Ever on there.
