Even now, while there’s a Corporate Lunch going on with several Hasbro and Hub execs, we have some information from a Webcast that was broadcast revealing information about The Hub and the focus of their programming. Big thanks to the guys over at TFW2005 who have gathered a bunch of this information together for our consumption. Their focus is obviously on the Transformers end of it, but I’m currently listening to the webcast now to try and get information gathered for G.I. Joe: Renegades, and will present whatever I find right here.
At this point, the following information has been gleaned from TFW2005:
- G.I. Joe: Renegades will air in an afternoon “block” with Transformers: Prime at 3:00pm.
- The Hub website is in production, and will apparently have a full “launch” September 27th with a wealth of added content
- G.I. Joe: Renegades and Transformers: Prime are the main focus of Hub production and programming
Apparently there were also video clips shown, sound clips, and other details that are unavailable through the webcast, but it’s hypothosized that it’s mostly the same as what we’ve seen.
If there are more details buried in the webcast, I’ll try and pull ’em out for everyone.
While it has probably already been mentioned someplace, the 3 seconds of Renegades on the HUB intro video on their site looks pretty sweet.
Ok, maybe I need an education in USA school policies, but here in Canada kids get out of school at 3, so that means at best they will catch the last half of the 3-3:30 show, whether that is GIJoe or TF. A LOT of kids here live a ways from their school and usually need about half an hour to an hour to get home.
Growing up, GIJoe and Transformers were always on at 4 pm so kids could actually see it.
Aside from re-runs later in the day I’ll never see an episode either as I have to work for a living.
So unless US schools are totally different I don’t understand what audience they are going for? pre-schoolers and stay at home parents???
