RoboGuy9000 103 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 If you're a Canadian Brony like myself you are most likely aware that MLP airs on Treehouse Network, a network dedicated for pre schoolers. While MLP is intended for little girls, it's usually the ones who are at that age where they like stuff like MLP, but dislike stuff like Sesame Street. It'd be more suited for a network like YTV (it's like the Canadian version of Nick) where the main demographic is 7 to 13. So no need to censor the word loser and all that petty stuff. Considering YTV airs commercials for the MLP toys it'd also help Hasbro earn more profit from the toys if they aired the show on the same network. Because Treehouse doesn't have product commercials. And for people like me who don't have Satellite TV, we have no access to Treehouse but get YTV, thus increasing the viewership. A way of approaching this issue would be to start a petition for Chorus entertainment, the company in charge of both networks to move the show to YTV. That and sending letters that kindly ask if they could do such a thing. If this is a bad idea please tell me what I can do to improve it. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akemi Homura 7,680 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner. This is an automatically generated message, by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PlunderSteed 1,252 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 Interesting idea, and it sounds like it might be a good marketing move. One would hope that Hasbro has already looked into it, but who knows...you might be able to help open the door to future Canadian Bronies by petitioning for show's move to another network.

Jammo 986 July 21, 2012 Share July 21, 2012 Canada really gets shafted when it comes to a lot of good shows getting aired here. Anime especially. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Akemi Homura 7,680 July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 (edited) Canada really gets shafted when it comes to a lot of good shows getting aired here. Anime especially. You're telling me. YTV, owned by Corus Entertainment, has just flat out declined over the years. Back in the day, it used to show kick-ass shows like Teen Titans, Dragon Ball Z, Inuyasha, The Powerpuff Girls, ReBoot, Transformers, and Samurai Jack - to name a handful. Now what? We have sitcoms that I frankly do not give a hoot about. That being said, Treehouse (a "branch" of YTV, you could say) just recently started airing the second season of MLP: FIM. Huh, for a Canadian-made show, that is really sucky for all us Canadian bronies because we can't get the actual channel where it prides itself in - The Hub, and that's an American-only channel. So, for now - livestreams and youtube remain my source for pony episodes. Edited July 22, 2012 by Devin McCourty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NeverNeverland 1,940 July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 As a Canadian, I kind of disagree with moving MLP from Treehouse to YTV. Even if it has a few words that, while harmless to us, could mean something else to preschoolers. It is a good idea, but I feel somewhat off with the idea.

Whiteshade 1,426 July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 I've seen it before on Treehouse, but I never watch TV, only streams/youtube, so this doesn't affect me at all and I can't really have an opinion on it.

Tupin86 195 July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 (edited) I think it's hilarious the show is voiced by Canadian/Canadian-American VAs and animated mostly in Canada, but the official premieres in Canada are months after it premiers in the US. Yeah, it should probably be on YTV, it's on Nickelodeon in most countries anyway. Edited July 22, 2012 by Tupin86 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jokes aside, if you have Satellite TV it means you also got Treehouse, as well as YTV. It's as simple as changing the channel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
candygirl21489 35 July 22, 2012 Share July 22, 2012 THEY WHAT?!?! How can you censor loser?! I am completely against MLP on Treehouse. I mean, there's two booze jokes in it! I vote for moving it to YTV or something or other. (Canadian) 1 Sig made by the epic Cloud Chaser! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fact that they censor it is even worse -.- ~ I grew-up watching and loving YTV I'm guessing they put it on Treehouse because they think it's just like the previous generations - which were all tea parties and other stereotypical girly junk. Therefore, really for little girls. This is why it isn't as prominent in Canada as it is in the U.S - if MLP were put on CRUNCH on YTV every Saturday, it would immediately start to boom. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
