Hasbro's approach is somewhat puzzling.
With the Clone Wars there was a massive push before the premiere. Not to mention they had the Clone Wars movie released theatrically. There's barely been anything out there for Renegades and Prime. Keep in mind the shows are set to premiere in less than 2 months. And there's barely anything out there right now. Quote:
BTW, good looks on answering questions, Clem. Saw your stuff on Deviantart and it looks good. Can't wait to see your stuff in action. |

Hasbro is supposed to promote it period regardless of whether Hub hasn't started yet.
Hasbro does have a channel that will become the Hub. They can premiere it there. Viacom and Paramount promoted new Spike TV shows on TNN before it became Spike TV. |

So where would they advertise it? Like Zef said, there are commercials on Discovery Kids. But Cartoon Network and Disney, the two biggest places to advertise to get the hugest push, wouldn't want to advertise a competitors product.

The beauty of a weekly cartoon is that the shows will re-run for a long time initially (until you have a few seasons under your belt and then it is a little longer before you see them again). I sort of doubt that all the new shows will premier on launch day. A lot of networks play older shows to get their feet under them and promote the new shows and the new network before launching them. Who knows, maybe Hasbro will do the same thing.

Also, the Renegades toys aren't going to be out to at least mid-2011.
I really don't think Hasbro (or anyone should be, but I know that people here will be..) really expects Renegades (or any of the new HUB shows) to go off like gangbusters on launch day. I think, and this is just my interpretation of the schedule as we know it) that Season 1 will air this fall. It will get repeated in the Spring, just in time for the launch of the toys and then followed by Season 2 in the Fall of 2011. I think Hasbro will use the Fall of 2010 to the Spring of 2011 as the marketing time for the Hub. Get the shows on there, generate some press, some word of mouth, tinker with the format and then they all get the big push in Spring 2011. I know people here will be all up in arms if Renegades on launch day doesn't have big numbers. It'll be a failure, it'll suck, etc.. etc.. But really, the time to really be concerned about will be in Spring 2011 when Season 1 repeats and Hasbro has had a chance to market the hell out of the Hub, Renegades and have the toys to tie-in.

Exactly. I doubt Hasbro is expecting to make a big splash on 10/10/10. It'll be a slow start up, and would look for mid-year 2011 to really make the big hit.
