Why is Renegades not available on iTunes?

[Hawkwinter]

Has anyone else wondered why the episodes of Renegades Season 1 aren't available on iTunes?

It would be a very good way to bring more attention to the show. I see so many TV shows that are updated weekly as new episodes come out.

I also see it as an awesome way to get money back ASAP. TV shows seem to go for $1.99 a pop, whether they are an hour long or half an hour. That's a pretty minimal purchase to see what Renegades is all about for just about anyone. Plus iTunes automatically places the episodes in order of popularity so that the better shows end up on top and thus are more likely to leave a good impression on new comers.

It's also nice for fans if they miss an episode. Or just want it on their computer or iPhone or iPad.

And never under estimate the power of the need to collect. Buy a few episodes and the next thing you know you have to have them all. Plus, I find most poeple I know who buy episodes online also buy the packaged retail versions as well.

And yes I know the episodes are available online in other places, but you need to place your product where everyone can see it.

To me, this is a no-brainer and they should really look into this to promote their cartoon.

Thoughts?

Because Renegades is a pile of crap, A-Team wanna be's. And I-tunes doesn't sell crap. Just my thoughts and that is what you asked for.

Not only are they available, but they're available in HD.

Connecting to the iTunes Store. (http://www.itunes.com/GIJoe)

I buy every single episode. Totally worth the $3 (at least to me).

When you go to the TV Shows section, you have to find the HUB network by clicking "See All Networks". (The Hub is not linked on the 1st page because it does not offer enough new programming.)
Once you see the list of all networks, you can click on the Hub Icon and Renegades is featured prominently on this page.
I have purchased the 1st five episodes since I do not get the Hub through my cable.

I agree 100%.
I am enjoying Renegades quite a bit.

It would be nice if this was available on-line easily and free of charge.

I thought this was a secondary product by hasbro made to sell toys like the original ARAH cartoon.

Every episode is available on Hubworld.com shortly after it airs. Older episodes slowly fade from the video section, but they are watchable.

If they made every show watchable for free, what would the incentive be to order the channel?

Sorry guys, didn't actually know there was a difference between being on iTunes in Canada nd being on iTunes in the USA.

This is another case of the "If you're not American, we don't give a shit about you" syndrome that Hasbro is so famous for.

Yup, no Renegades on iTunes in Canada. Nothing under GI Joe, nothing under Renegades, no Hub network and it doesn't even show up under YTV (the station that carries Reengades here in Canada).

Oh well.
