see the thing is if THAT is the case, then Discovery Family itself should probably just close up shop. Cause they’ve throughly failed. Squandered all the HUBs gains on everything within a year.
Ultimately relative to the other shows on that channel, pony still does well.
This is true.
However, the show is now running on a channel owned by a different company. Who do have a vested interest in the show’s ratings. Because they sure as hell aren’t making any money from the toy sales themselves.
However, this is all moot because the Nielson Rating system is terrible and broken and fundamentally worthless and should be scrapped.
Well your numbers on S3 vs S4 aren’t true, S4 received much higher numbers than S3, where we are now is more similar to S2-S3 numbers your other point is correct. Pony is still by far the most watched show on Discovery Family. Littlest Pet Shop is second and that’s been having a hard time cracking 100K since the switch from HUB to DF.
Besides I’m in the camp that clearly sees the death of Broadcast TV in the next 10~20 Years. The USoA will be at the assend of it given the power of local Broadcast. But, local Broadcast like that, just doesn’t exist here in Gwrmany. And, so isn’t itself a threat to prevent the eventual goal take over of OTT IPTV.
Pretty much. Prime time TV is driven by ratings because cable networks don’t rely on selling associated merch. They rely on selling commercial time. If a time slot isn’t raking in the views, then the people who run the channel lose bargaining power (fewer people see those ad slots) and their prices/profits fall.
But take a show that’s on prime time on a major network, ratings drops are going to be a big issue.
yeah if we make the show good, peeps gonna by the merch and itunes ep and soundtracks n stuff and we get money. its cool
And then Cartoon Network was like WARALRALGAGHALRHAGLHAG CANCEL YOUNG JUSTICWE AWLAJRLAFHAF NON-TARGET DEMOGRAPHICS DON’T BUY MURCH.
With the awesome minis they have, the vinyls, the Power Ponies target exclusive, I’ve got a lot I want to keep buying.
He directs ponies and doesn’t afraid of anything.
Where can one get a “special cable box”?
Perhaps more importantly, Hasbro’s calculus for MLP is different than for other shows which do depend chiefly on the Nielsen ratings - Hasbro has an incentive to keep MLP going as long as the merch is selling, which it seems to be.
Also, everything needs to be looked at in context - MLP’s ratings have been falling since Season 3, but how does it compare to the other shows on Discovery Family? Is it a drag on the Saturday schedule or is it propping it up?
Then don’t get involved.
