Is there any way we could make a petition to send to the Hub in order for it to show more ponies?

[Goodra 531]

I can't stand how it only plays twice on weekends and those times are only in the morning of all times. It needs to be played more and I wish it would play at night. Anypony want to start a petition for ponies?

I would sign that petition I think they should show more ponies also.

I don't mean to be a pessimist but last series there was 26 episodes right? So if it was on twice as often it'd only be on for 13 weeks before the series finished so they'd have to make more episodes and it probably wouldn't work out cost effective. Edited October 8, 2011 by Makar

I know but I'm not asking for the whole week, just a change to the weekend schedule so we can see ponies 3 times instead of 2 and 1 of those times be at night.

I wish I got the hub so I could watch ponies on my TV. But I would still sign for the benefit of my fellow bronies.

I got the channel in between season one and season two. I was hoping to watch it there, but then I realized the time it airs. I'm never even up then! =/

Another great reason for the petition!

Again, not to be a pessimist but if the show was any later than seven it'd probably have it's rating cut in half as It's missing it's key demographic, kids.

Yes, but kids also watch transformers and Dan vs and those shows play at night.

I don't get the Hub, but I'd sign the petition if it helps out my fellow bronies!

[Apple Bloom 2,933]

I would sign this but afaik petitions don't usually do any good. They know about us and I'm pretty sure they know that a different time slot would be more convenient but in the end the show is targeted to children and that's who they have in mind when they air it.

 

As for Transformers and such, aren't those shows targeted to slightly older children? That may be why they're aired later.

I don't really mind the time they show the episodes... What I do mind is that they show the SAME EPISODE, TWICE IN A ROW.

 

It really gets to you when your checking "Guide" and see:

"Return of Harmony-Part 2" (next half-hour block) "Return of Harmony-Part 2"

 

 

But a different time slot would be nice. Or you know, getting rid of a couple other shows that not even my four year old sister (HUB's main demographic...except when it's pony time) likes; and replacing THOSE time slots with ponies.

I agree with you, the same episode twice in a row is disappointing, they do it a lot on weekdays (9:00 and1:30). Yea, I could see them replacing some of that old stuff with ponies.

The reason they might not be showing too much pony on TV is because Hasbro is well aware that most of the show's audience watches the show online on Youtube or via BitTorrent. They only have so many hours of TV programming, so they might just prefer to put on other stuff that people would otherwise never see.

Can I ask how being on at seven in the morning gets higher ratings? When I was a kid, I hated having to set my alarm just to watch Saturday morning cartoons that early. Why couldn't they have started them at 9 and ran them until like 2 instead of at 12 putting on...Degrassi?

[PlNKlE PIE 364]

Looks like it got a slight time change. Not a huge leap, no, but it's something nonetheless.

[Zoop 8,384]

Looks like Pinkie beat me to the punch with the schedule change.

Same. I'd usually just decide to skip out on the cartoons and sleep in until I was forcefully woken up by my parents on weekends. A lazy brat, I was.

The Hub has already done so much. Signing a petition would seem like a demand or a stab in the back.

nothing to see here, folks.
