Yeah, and I'm guessing that Hasbro still has a lucrative deal in place with Discovery Family (from when it was The Hub or Hub Network) where they don't have to share as much of the profits from toys, merchandising, and all that - I'm guessing that if it was moved to Cartoon Network, they'd probably want a larger cut of the toy money (I mean, this is the same network that cancelled Sym-Bionic Titan after just 1 season because there were no toys connected to it, even though it was getting fairly decent ratings [in the range of 1.5-2M viewers, it seemed]), though since they aren't producing this show, who knows. They might want it because it's so popular. Though, I mean, in the regime before the current one, they seemed to be actively trying to rid themselves of acquired programming (of which non toy-based anime was one, on a somewhat unrelated note). Plus, the whole timeslot issue as mentioned below (as Hasbro can set the time for FiM to air on DF, being in charge of the daytime programming - they wouldn't have such a luxury on CN).

Who knows if Discovery Family would even let them have it (as was noted, even though the 260K viewers figure is one of the lowest ever for the show, it's still the highest rated program on that channel) or if Hasbro would want to shop it around (like I said, a good deal for them is likely in place). I would imagine that the ratings would have to be disastrous (like, <50K for 3 or 4 weeks straight) for either one to even start considering such a possibility.

Though I do wish Discovery Family would advertise more, perhaps release more clips like The Hub used to do.
