    Welp, the other day Im doing my routine checking Equestria Daily and i found something....
    http://www.equestriadaily.com/2014/09/discovery-and-hasbro-end-partnership-of.html#idc-cover
    Just read it. This could be the end of mlp. You realize it might not even be on the hub anymore? It could be on cartoon network, which could make the show violent. If its on nick then i think im just done withe everything.
    If its on disney then just..
    Ya know what discovery? Youre an ass ****

    This could be the end of mlp. Sure, it was a pain in the ass to wake up early every saturday to watch them, sure the hub had a lot of crap "family movies" and shows. (In fact the only good movie they put on was spaceballs) And now discovery just thinks they are KING SHIT. Im mad about this. this could be the end of mlp.
    And if they move to another channel this means it could be G5. Man i have been in this fandom for more than a year now (Shout out to perc, if it werent for him i still would have been a hater), and i have never been this worried...
    Oh and nothings going to be changing too soon, we will still be able to enjoy season 5. (MHhh cant wait for wave 11 blind bags)
    Anyway what do you think?
    oh wow i just saw a comment on it saying it should be on the hallmark channel. Just diee

    *Holds boxes with LPS and MLP, Help discovery kicked us out and we need a home.*

    EDIT- oh and I just realized if its on CN were going to get 15 minute episodes

    I would watch MLP if it had guns and violence in it.

    Uhhhhh...

    It wouldn't be on Cartoon Network, that'd be out of place considering its *intended* audience

    If it was on Disney or Nick, then maybe it'd actually make one of those channels GOOD, which would be a real benefit. However I have no idea how they'll fit it in with the shows.

    Edit: I doubt that'll have a big effect on bronies though since so many of them (e.g. myself) watch the show on the Internet, and they're not going to cancel a show that's so successful.

    I remember Discovery Kids way back before Hub, and they had some pretty interesting shows. Whatever happens, there's still the 9-3 block, and if anything Disney would pick up MLP. The show was originally written for young girls, and that's Disney's demographic

    We should all come together and make an anime series called "My Gangster Pony", which would be a whole lot of weed, guns and doritos.

    Here we go again, after the great Microsoft Debate, more people hating companies. First of all, nobody left anyone. They're just renaming The Hub, Hasbro still controls programming from 9 to 3.

    Cartoon Network doesn't add violence to everything. Ever heard of Foster's or Clarence?

    And by the way, Discovery IS "king shit." They're one of the largest channels in the world.

    Believe it or not, My Little Pony is a little girl show. Their main demographic is little girls. This small group of bronies is not going to change the business decisions. The main demographic of Disney is little girls. It would be great for business, I don't think you'll die if you have to turn on Disney once a week to watch ponies.

    It's not going to PBS, since you don't make money there.
    It's not going to Discovery, since that would just be disrespectful to Discovery fans.
    It's not going to Nickelodeon, nobody would watch it.

    If I had to put money on it, even though Disney would be logical, I would bet it would go to NBC and be shown withe the morning cartoons.

    I agree with Joey.

    Now that the two companies broke up, It'll probably be on Disney, which will actually attract more viewers. some of the original MLP fans won't watch it anymore and MLP is a girl show, as joey said, so all the 'little girls' on Disney will discover MLP and watch it.

    So in a way this is exactly like the 'Microsoft-buys-Minecraft' issue, no matter how much people complain (the old MLP fans in this case) they wont change their minds, because it's making money.

    Discovery is actually a network of channels. Discovery's sister channels are TLC, Velocity and a few others.

    What. Even. Is. This. I swear if we get some fricking 5.0 ponies I'm gonna kill someone. If the show changes, I'm basically dead. So if the show changes, and you never hear from me again, well you know where I will be. DROWNING IN MY OWN TEARS OF SORROWFUL HATE
    This is crap. Man.

    I know, but the MAIN demographic is the little girls that like ponies. The toys are in the girls' section of Toys R Us for a reason.
