The Hub is now Discovery Family channel?
Did I miss something? How and when did this happen? Yeah, I know, since I've been watching my retro channels, I haven't watched The Hub in awhile, and the other day while flipping through the channels, I noticed the change. What happened?

From Wiki ......
On September 25, 2014, following reports earlier in the year that Hub Network president Margaret Loesch would step down by the end of 2014, Discovery acquired 10% of Hasbro's stake in the network and replaced Loesch with Henry Schleiff, who leads Discovery Communications' other digital networks. On October 13, 2014, Hub Network was re-launched as Discovery Family: while Hasbro continues to provide children's programming for Discovery Family's daytime lineup, the network's remaining dayparts now consist primarily of reruns of non-fiction programs from Discovery Communications' library—marking a partial return to the channel's original scope as Discovery Kids.
As long as nobody touches MeTV i'm happy

Yeah, it sucks. I really liked the Hub. Now it's just Discovery Lite, with some of the toons still hanging around.

It sucks. It liked the Hub the way it was. Don't really watch the channel anymore.You are a bold and courageous person, afraid of nothing. High on a hill top near your home, there stands a dilapidated old mansion. Some say the place is haunted, but you don't believe in such myths. One dark and stormy night, a light appears in the topmost window in the tower of the old house. You decide to investigate... and you never return...Comment

I love Me-TV too, Mike, as well as COZI-TV and AntennaTV, but wow..The Hub was cool. Remember all the threads about Happy Days and Batman? It did kinda feel like the old days when they were playing up the "Fonzie Jumps the Shark" eps. And they were showing Mork and Mindy, too. What a shame.From Wiki ......

Another reason why I dropped cable. Just another useless cable channel to ignore. Right up there with MTV, VH-1, and SyFy.Comment
