THIS CHANNEL IS A MEGA MARKETING COMMERCIAL FOR HASBRO(HASBUTT as I call'em)....PHOOEY!!
In the States Discovery Kids will become the much waited Animated Action Channel HUB starting 10/10/10 @ 10am in the Morning...Now the question will be is this...will YTV/Corus ever think of Launching their own HUB in Canada?!!! They seem to own so many kids Channels as followed...
YTV
TREEHOUSE TV
NICKELODIAN CANADA(originally supposed to be known as YTV One World and formerly as Discovery Kids)
TELETOON(part owner with Astral Media)
TELETOON RETRO(also part owner with Astral Media)

Corus holds an approved license for YTV POW! Which could easily become The Hub.

I don't think you'll see YTV launching POW in what would be direct competition to both Teletoon and Retro. Unless they pull out of the agreement with astral. There's probably more chance that if some agreement exists between Corus and Discovery/Hasbro US it could just mean hub programming appears on Teletoon.
Also the possible agreement CTVglobemediabellco (or whatever it's name is) has with Discovery US and programming may throw a wrench into Corus obtaining those rights.
