Review: The end of the network hub

10 October 2010 10.00 EDT clock Discovery Kids was the hub and everything began. Well, a little less than four years later, it's over. Discovery has a greater interest in the joint venture with Hasbro and change the name of the Discovery family network.

50-50 The original house was launched, providing context for exploring the business television (and the real space of the chain) and Hasbro offer offer most of programming content. The joint venture was Margaret Loesch, is well known for the successful implementation of Marvel Productions in the 1980s and the popular Fox Kids block in the 90 years to manage the network as President and CEO of Hub. As an outsider of both parent companies, was her vision, that mentality of the 90s, the kids are not stupid and do not have to find spoken.

When the network launched, did not have much to work with content for Discovery Kids. This network was essentially been dead for years, repetitions of the same race series several times a day. They had to learn and make sure that you have lined original productions to release a lot of programming.

If the hub posted a 10-10-10 mix of content presented. Original programming such as My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, Pound Puppies and Family Game Night (all Hasbro) back to the United States as Deltora Quest takeovers, The Twisted Whiskers Show, Dennis and Gnasher, Cosmic Quantum Ray and acquired series American as Happy Days, Doogie Howser 1960 Batman, Wonder Years and Honey, I Shrunk the TV-series for children.

Just over a month later, the big action franchise Transformers Prime GI Joe Renegades started with great series. Has lasted for 68 episodes, while the other unfortunately ended after his first season of 26 people were from Hasbro Studios as well.

The Hub had a problem. They had to advertisers that Hasbro (toy company) ads would not only be to convince the preparation for 22 minutes by himself. They needed other original content. Input: The Witching Hour Dan Vs and two sets of the hatchery, a production company that President Margaret Loesch Haunting Hour Hub possession started on October, before spending Christmas no less rank in Dan Vs New Year preview. . During 2011 The Haunting Hour was a great success (price, notable guest stars, high production quality) and is about to release its fourth season in October, Dan Vs entertainment was not so lucky. However, he got at least 53 episodes and transferred back into the network weekday morning.

The hub has fans of the animated series action repeatedly appealed as Batman Beyond and Men in Black: The Series to start and Batman: The Animated Series and Superman: The Animated Series later. More Warner Bros movie appeared as Tiny Toon Adventures and Animaniacs. Years 90 alive in the middle for a while were.

Of course we all know that the series was the hub of a recognizable name outside of a few who pay attention - My Little Pony:. Friendship is Magic I have no qualms with the show, if not not my thing. Although very successful, the program has mainly had the effect SpongeBob network. It is six or send more times per day, this is the only show Ratings has today respectable (for both and repeated in the first place) gets. Not that it's the fault of the horses ... but is probably the thing "mane" The Hub is known.

The network had some other very good template, as The Aquabats! Super Show and Kaijudo Spooksville. Even a very nice track miniseries. Classic fun as well as emit Goosebumps Jem and Lois and Clark. Had major accidents as unfortunate start of the UK series against the Wizards were foreigners weeks insertion. They also tried first with preschool programs, with an original Hasbro Chuck & Friends, but that did not last long.

From "Where it all comes together" to "It was only in the hub Happen" to "Making Family Fun." - The (now Network Hub) Hub has always been a focus for family name Family discovery makes this point even clearer.

My biggest fear with new strains of discovery, I mean the leaders ... I mean programmer will take over the network to other networks from Discovery Communications. Pest Reality TV every network discovery and the new name of The Hub is a candidate to fall in line with the price of the last chairman and improvised as Kid parents just do not understand. Course of science and the nature of reality shows in the Discovery Channel and Animal Planet reality of the strange family in TLC terrible, terrible things traded hospital on Discovery Fit & Health, I can only hope that the new discovery of the family to stay away from this format.

Hasbro give a piece of the day, is understandable. It also means a reduced Pony saturation and the ability to run in the afternoon and evening lineup for a family calendar.

However, we do not know what the new network will be. Will they keep things pretty much the status quo? Probably not. Why else should go through all these changes, things as they are? Things will change, it is only a question of what exactly and to what extent.

As it was in 2010, how to see where things go from here. But unlike 2010, I'm not holding my breath waiting for a network that I like.
