11/2/2023 0 Comments Discovery family listingsSome things improved, but lately, that channel has become an eyesore. Pat Robertson owned it before Rupert Murdoch bought it and f’d things up and later Disney bought it and things weren’t all that much better when it became ABC Family. I found to be like the network formerly known as The Family Channel for the next generation. Look, the ratings were already low when it was the Hub, and I was personally impressed with the channel. It might be better than the old sitcoms and movies, but every channel you see on TV has new stuff on during prime time, and I hope it won’t take long to see new shows on Discovery Family, because if we don’t see new shows not found anywhere else, turn off the lights, it’s game over man. Look, I think Hasbro will still program a good daytime lineup, but Discovery needs to develop some new shows for Discovery Family, and fast! Relying on shows people have already seen on Discovery Channel, Science Channel, TLC, and Animal Planet is not a good long term strategy. And, I am assuming that the Hub Network Facebook, Twitter, and YouTube accounts will just switch over to Discovery Family, that’s what I think will happen.Īnd what will happen to the Hub Network website pictured below? My guess, since I have not gotten anything, is it will just switch over to Discovery Family as well. But how long will it take before Discovery Family gets some new and original shows on during prime time? I give them until next Spring, the only way the channel is going to survive and grow is if new shows are developed for only Discovery Family and for prime time. The other 12 hours (5 pm – 5 am) is programmed by Discovery, and so far the schedule is very weak!įrom the press release, we will still see new episodes of My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic, Littlest Pet Shop, The Haunting Hour, Transformers Rescue Bots, and Family Game Night on Discovery Family. At least 12 hours of the schedule is programmed by Hasbro (5 am – 5 pm Eastern). ![]() Discovery now controls 60% of the channel, Hasbro controls 40%. Even on Discovery Press Web, the last thing on the Hub Network page was the promotion of The Haunting Hour. There has only been one press release about the change to Discovery Family, and the last thing I got in my e-mail from Hub Network was the promotion of The Haunting Hour. The crazy thing about all of this, is they have been mostly quiet on all of this. At least the Hub Network is promoting the change now, they talked about Discovery Family on their latest promo for the newest Equestria Girls movie airing on October 17th. You can expect repeats of other Discovery Communications shows like Cake Boss, Flying Wild Alaska, Time Warp, Extreme Engineering, Factory Made, Quints By Surprise, How Do They Do It, How It’s Made, Storm Chasers, and other shows. The rest of the schedule is not much better. 4:30 PM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.4:00 PM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.3:30 PM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.2:00 PM: Sabrina: Secrets of a Teenage Witch.11:30 AM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.11:00 AM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.10:30 AM: My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic.10:00 AM: Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventures.9:30 AM: Strawberry Shortcake’s Berry Bitty Adventures.Here is the schedule for Tuesday October 14th.
