For like two years

Isn't the story that hasbro were the ones who pulled out (rather than being bought out) because the network wasn't as successful as CN and Nick yet, ignoring the fact that it had only been 3 years and wasn't in basic cable packages? The ratings have only gotten worse and worse with Discovery Family

This baffles me so much. I have Discovery Kids and there's almost nothing on there I would show to a kid. They have nature shows, but they're for adults, not children. No kid would watch this channel willingly.

It's exactly this.

It was a kids channel that wasn't accessible through a basic tv package which is all most people bother with, and a few watchable shows doesn't get enough attention or fill enough timeslots. Movies didn't draw a market either.

I've missed the channel for a while now, including when CN started whoring out TTG and now nuPPG.

i always thought it was strange how young of an audience hub seemed to want to attract. showing content that will only really appeal to kids aged 5-9 or so seems like too narrow of a market to base an entire channel around. cn, nick, and disney never aimed for a demographic that narrow

Discovery partnered with Hasbro for the Network never ceased bitching that they didn't get a fair cut on the deal (they started complaining about it on day one)

And after Loesch left and those she'd brought on were shifted around and Hasbro brought in people that wanted to rely on cheap reruns instead of original programming. It was doomed to failure.

Netflix does solid cartoon stuff. In part because Dreamworks doesn't care so writers get a lot more room to write then they otherwise would have.

Overall pretty good stuff for a digital service not even a decade in the game going against networks that have been around for over half a century.

I miss it, it was a fun channel to have on when I did other shit, fun movies, some good old shows like Animaniacs or Batman, Dan Vs and Aquabats were fun.

>>
>>83350288
Yeah, they understood how to make a channel with that old soul. Bumpers that had all their characters interacting, special events, variety. Their main issue was they were jumping on a dying form of media. The big names have enough trouble surviving the sinking of TV. I don't know how a little guy lasted this long trying to fund their own shows and start up a new channel for so long when they were practically underwater to begin with.
>>
>>83350798
Not just that, they were on a channel that you had to pay extra for. Almost no one pays extra for television these days.
>>
The Aquabats had more than once season? Also....did stuff? Good for them. I loved that show. I was fucking stoned and the episode where they fought or befriended or....made love to mole people in a mine came on. I don't know what happened because I got freaked the fuck out by the mole people. I lost it. It was too much. I don't even know what happened.

I think part of the problem was advertisers.

Other advertisers that targeted the same demographic didn't like the idea of paying one of their competitors.
