Discovery and Hasbro are forming a joint venture to create a new Kid's Network:
Hasbro and Discovery Communications An… : Discovery Communications The most interesting nugget in that long as hell press release is this: Quote:
New programming will be based on brands such as ROMPER ROOM, TRIVIAL PURSUIT, SCRABBLE, CRANIUM, MY LITTLE PONY, G.I. JOE, GAME OF LIFE, TONKA and TRANSFORMERS, among many others.
Quote:
Hasbro will also make a separate investment to establish a creative team that will allow Hasbro to create and produce the consumer-driven content children and families have come to expect from Hasbro’s unmatched brands. Creative work will start in the next few months beginning with early stage development for properties including ROMPER ROOM, TONKA, G.I. JOE, TRANSFORMERS and MY LITTLE PONY. The creative team will have the capability to produce animated, live-action, and game show programming as well as content designed for digital and mobile extensions.

What could this mean in terms of Joe's possibilities? Product? Content? Kid's shows? What would you Tankers hope, fear, love to see?

To have a kids cartoon for Joe again would be nice. Get the newer generations interested in it. Well, at least the ones that don't have father's like us around, lol.

The good is that there may be a Joe cartoon. The bad is that most kids cartoons today are near unwatchable garbage (I guess unless you're a kid). We may be lucky if it is a cartoon based on the movie...

Awesome news. Even if it's geared for kids, it's still good news for for the brand.
That's great.

Hasbro CEO Brian Goldner hinted on a conference call to shareholders that they would be working on a new Transformers series for sometime after "Transformers: Revenge of the Fallen", most likely in 2010. The same goes for a new G.I.Joe series.
- Cartoon Network has the exclusive right to Transformers: Animated which currently airs on that network and if they wished to pursue the continuation of that series they could. - The possibilities of shows from the 80's and 90's Hasbro library content to air on this network is a possibility though they mainly want to focus on new content. - Goldner also made some hints that a possible "Stretch Armstrong" movie could be in the works with Universal Pictures and that a series on the new network would be forthcoming afterwards. - For International viewers, shows made for this new network would continue to be made available to networks in other countries, just like existing Hasbro based shows are now. - The actual name for this new network and specific programming will be revealed later as we get closer to the 2010 launch date for it. |
