Zekromic 1,054 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 Is MLP really gonna be on CN? I tried finding a source, but to no avail. If that's really the case, should we really be worried about it? It was just a comment about the possibility, but for now, Hasbro will remain with Discovery Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that's really the case, should we really be worried about it? Just a possibility, for now, it's with Discovery. If it was, I don't think we should be worried since if it did happen, Hasbro would still own the fanchise, so CN wouldn't do any meddling. Also, they got a new CEO after the last bad one.

RWB 229 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 I'm pretty sure MLP was one of the Hub's most successful shows. As such, I would think that Discovery would keep it around. I love Ancient Aliens. Don't get me wrong, its full of shit, but I find it pretty entertaining anyway. This. And then people who have more knowledge and do better research make videos to debunk them, so if you look, you find both silly fantasies, and awesome, well researched responses to those! "The meaning of life? Humans create their own meaning. They always strive onwards, upwards, to break the limits of their knowledge, the limits of their bodies capacities, and the limits of their technology.We have to take the good with the bad.

Wind Chaser 4,768 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 The original Wall Street Journal article stated that the Hub has started shopping their shows to other networks, including CN. It is likely that the Hasbro block will last on the Discovery Family network only until they have to renegotiate the contract. All three kids' networks hold potential problems for MLP: Nickelodeon is completely mismanaged. If MLP were to be aired on this network, we would have to worry about it being bounced all over the schedule and/or possibly being placed on the second-rate Nicktoons network, regarded as a dumping ground for failing shows. Disney is not likely to pick it up as the Disney Channel does not air shows outside of the Disney brand, Disney XD is aimed only at boys, and the Hub shows would likely skew too old for the Disney Junior block/channel. Cartoon Network's full slate likely means there will be little room on the lineup for a good timeslot. Additionally, regardless of who the new executives are who came in after the Young Justice incident, Cartoon Network has a history of demographic prejudices in their corporate culture leading to the negative treatment of girls' shows. All of that makes the Internet a more and more enticing option. Hasbro would get the best results if they instead shopped the shows to Netflix or Amazon. They could also continue the Hub as an online-only channel like Kids' WB was after it was cancelled on-network. Although MLP has the advantage of a devoted fanbase from the cable show and makes it free from traditional television business models, moving it online could have adverse effects on the show's budget. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cosmonaut 76 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/09/discovery-and-hasbro-end-partnership-of.html Well, the Hub will be going away soon. Honestly I'm really sad. While I know that MLP should be okay and that this won't affect it, I really will miss the Hub. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Will Guide 21,360 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 So wait, confirm this for me: the hub's channel name is gone, but the MLP:FiM show should still play on the same channel number, right?

Pinkamena-Pills 6,839 September 22, 2014 Share September 22, 2014 The HUB..has been snubbed.

The animated shows could stand a better chance, however. I'm not sure how to properly respond to that statement in the quote, though.

Whether the HUB is dead or merely renamed is up for debate, but Discovery kids, IF I recall the name correctly, will still air many of the Hub shows.

The animated shows could stand a better chance, however. I'm not sure how to properly respond to that statement in the quote, though. It's just that Disney Channel, despite whatever anyone says about it, is too complacent to give a Donald Duck about what happens to the other channels because their ratings, like those of Nick and CN, are much higher than the Hub's. That also could have gone for Disney XD as well. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
