I wanted to talk about a channel that was pretty underrated which was the Hub Network. Now while it wasn’t as popular as Disney, Nick and Cartoon Network, it also had some pretty interesting programming at the time and definitely should have gotten more love. 

Now this channel lasted from 2010 to 2014 and was later rebranded into Discovery Family

which is a major disappointment compared to what the Hub used to be. 

While some shows like friendship is magic still existed on the channel, a lot of the other programming vanished and it’s now mostly just boring and educational which is upsetting, compared to the cool and interesting programming the hub had in its lineup. 

Aside from MLP and Littlest Pet Shop, there were these shows like Dan Vs. that was pretty underrated and many people considered to be pretty good. 

They even had Warner Brothers properties like Tiny Toons

Batman Beyond 

And Batman the Animated Series to name a few

Literally this was the only channel you could watch them at the time as they aired nowhere else.

Basically, the Hub was a pretty underrated channel and had it gotten more love and attention it still might have existed today. 

Thank you Lauren Faust for giving us 9 years, a whole decade nonetheless, of adventure, fun, heart, faith, kindness, magic, and especially, friendship. It really is telling that MLP is the last show left from The Hub’s run. From October 10, 2010 to now, its been a good ride, and I can’t wait to see what the next generation holds.

Every book has its ending, after all. Goodbye My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, to many, you will be missed.

Hub Network New And Logo Evolution

I Miss This Channel 

By Megan Tripp, Staff Writer, Emerson College

Disney Channel is teaching my sister to mindlessly obsess over boys and always seek revenge.

 I'd say boycott Disney and stick to The Hub channel until they make their channels better and get better shows.
