I'm happy that the show will get more exposure, and I don't want to sound like a pessimist, but could this mean The Hub is not doing as well as Hasbro hoped? TF Prime is sort of their biggest boy's show on the channel, right? If people can watch the show elsewhere, does that mean The Hub might be phasing out?

 

Oh CW Network!   I thought that said Cartoon Network. I was like WTF?

 

Cartoon Network kinda screwed Hasbro w/ Animated, so I doubt they'd get anything TF for a while.

Cartoons never left that channel (granted, for a while 4Kids was running the block, so the shows on there mostly sucked... & they kept repeating DBZ Kai's Frieza Saga FOR YEARS; immediately after Saban took over, they finally started the Android Saga). Though, they're restricted to 4 hours on Saturdays, but here at least, it's always had cartoons. The other channels have that e/i kiddie stuff (only a fraction of which is animated).

THIS (really, that's what the channel is called) also has cartoons, both a Saturday block & a weekday block (though, sometimes the weekday stuff alternates). Broadcast morning cartoons aren't dead yet (can't say the same for afternoons  )

Again, Hasbro said they were aiming for a minimum of 65 eps. for Prime, & the only reason for 65 is that's the magic number to put a show into Syndication (other channels buying it for themselves). Syndication does not necessarily mean the original channel stops airing it (see Seinfield, which had new eps running on the original channel, & reruns on other channels), just that another channel will start from the beginning. Vortexx/ CW won't likely get Season 3 until the Hub finishes airing it.

 

The Hub isn't getting canned because they want to have Prime be placed in a syndication slot to at least 65 episodes. So that means the show can go somewhere else eventually if Hasbro wants it so.

Don't worry it's easy to get it confused.  

 

Hell no. Teletoon is the best channel for Transformers. I mean YTV really has lost it ever since they removed Bionix (The anime block). Granted Teletoon doesn't play anime but it hasn't done anything to piss me off since.

Cool I can watch Prime now while I watch Dragaonball Z Kai.

 

saban 's pr lost galaxy on my vortexx too

 

aww man,i saw cliffjumper on the thumbnail and i thought he was coming back, darn it

 

Lol, I've watched every episode on youtube. That's how I watch em. Thank you to all who posted the episodes so many and I could watch them Saturday morning.

 

Saban own my vortexx and not cw kids any more

 

i wonder if i even have the CW anymore. I have the hub still but I just want to see what other cartoons they have.

 

Animaniacs is just a rumor.

 

CW is on basic television, channel 11...you should have it..

 

You don't have to tell me twice about YTV sucking.   I just don't have The Hub, or Teletoon, or Cartoon Network or anything fun. YTV would be my only non-Youtube option for TFP.

I know it's all "Oh, exclusively on the The Hub" and all, but I don't see the harm in allowing your show to be aired on more stations. Increases exposure, after all.

 

Not really, the Vortexx Saturday morning block currently runs from 7AM-12PM. During those timeslots The Hub tends to air programming aimed for girls where as Vortexx airs shows aimed at boys. As such the broadcasts aren't really competing against each other, and as The CW is in a lot more homes compared to The Hub, Transformer Prime will have much greater exposure.

The CW is a US channel, that is also available in Canada.

 

The eighth, good to know. I'll have to mark it down on my calendar. Hopefully they choose a time-slot OTHER than eleven. Ideally eleven-thirty would be perfect, as I could watch Prime after TMNT.

 

In my area, College Football has been airing after 11 am (not sure how widespread that is), so the 11 & 11:30 shows air at 6 & 6:30 instead. Thought I'd say something if someone speculated about it airing in the last hour, in case it does happen & others are affected.

 

Probably depends on region

CW is a basic broadcast channel, meaning if you get the Hub, you probably get CW in some form. But because it is a broadcast channel, YMMV as to WHICH channel it is on (or if it even HAS a dedicated channel, I know back in the day, my local NBC affiliate would run UPN programming at odd hours).

 

Sweet, I get that channel on basic cable. It's about time.

 

Can't you get a better cable service? Teletoon is the absolute best.

 

i got comcast channel 9 [saban 's my vortexx on cw]
