The thing is, reading off past Hasbro stuff is difficult to do, because this is operating so much differently than past Hasbro stuff. In a lot of ways, Pony is in uncharted waters, so there are 3 ways to look at it :
1. What they have done in the past - I personally find this the weakest way, because Pony right now isn't like the past; Equestria Girls is proof of that. They're actively expanding the brand, suggesting they have confidence in its continued existence in its current form.
2. What other things in similar situations have done - Basically, shows that have come back from the grave in one form or another; for example Futurama and Family Guy reviving, Stargate hopping to the Sci-Fi channel, and so forth. This one is also difficult because I can't think of anytime a kids show has really done something like this, but then again I can't think of many kids shows that can compare to Pony at all in many ways.
3. Who the heck knows? - Probably the best one right now, which means everything is shooting in the dark. They could be cancelling it, they could be planning to keep the Hub going, they could be wanting to shop it out somewhere else, they could be planning for Direct to Dvd, and so on. Given FiM has so many assets produced already, creating new content for it is going to be cheaper than making something new from scratch, for example.
I also don't think anything backs it up that they would get it on a new channel. So what if it's making money? Things end. And it's happened often that when a show gets cancelled on one channel, and picked up on another, it doesn't really do well. I would imagine MLP would be no exception, and that they would just start fresh if the Hub ended. It's not really all that much of a golden show. Maybe Equestria Girls will have a few straight to DVD movies, but I'd say expect the worst.
The problem stuff is paragraphs like this; when you have a hit on your hands that's still undergoing healthy growth, you don't want to bring it out behind the shed and shoot it. They keep expanding their Pony merchandising, so where is the support for this philosophy? That's the issue at question here. A contention like this needs more supporting it than 'things end' / 'not that much of a golden show'; when FiM broke the mold of 2.5 seasons & reboot, that sent a strong signal to just the opposite.
Also : This post is more me debating than me engaging mod voice in any way, the only mod part is right and is a general caveat to everyone, even me - Debate all you like, but try debate from evidence rather than wishful thinking; we have had a lot of the last in the past page or two.
