The new channel is going to be called "Hasbro Legends," and the new channel will air TV shows based on the Hasbro toy company's various IPs, including G.I. Joe, My Little Pony, Jem & The Holograms, Transformers and Power Rangers, which Hasbro acquired recently.

Whether this is a success remains to be seen. The last time I recall them doing a collaboration, it was a revival of The Nashville Network, and that only lasted a short time before they split, turning TNN into Heartland.

True.

I'm guessing they saw what Weigel Broadcasting and Warner Bros.-Discovery were doing with MeTV Toons and wanted to do something similar...

GAIM did something similar before called PBJ, but as a collaboration with Classic Media (now Dreamworks Classics) in the early 2010s as a short-lived animated counterpart of Retro TV...

Gray Television was more successful with their TNN clone, Circle, which was a collab with Ryman (formerly Opryland, the original TNN's former part owner), but that station has since left broadcast TV behind and is now exclusively a FAST channel known as Circle Country.

Cartoons make for good successful tv programming!

They are timeless, interesting, easy to watch, and fun to watch over and over.

Is this new network is for streaming only or do both for FTA OTA broadcast?

Just curious...

 

[N5XZS]

Never mind, from reading it it will do both for streaming and FTA OTA broadcasts.

For anyone who wants a sneak preview of Hasbro Legends, a feed can be seen on Get After It Media's "Heartland+" streaming service: Heartland+

Might come to Albuquerque in a year from now, if K33OB-LD of Mainstreet Broadcast Company gets the CP from FCC.

They might carry Hasbro Legends on their subchannels.

 

[Justin Hill]

In order for GAIM to make room for Hasbro Legends on the .3 subchannels on their O&O stations, they just merged the Rev'n and Action networks onto a single channel. Subchannel .3 was the Rev'n network's previous position.

They already have the CP to move it to Albuquerque. Was approved in May

Noted one little error on fake virtual channel or as in RMP of ch. 50.1 or in real RF ch. 33.

RMP ch. 50.1 to KASY-DT ATSC 1.0 ON KWBQ-DT's piggyback on RF ch. 29 or on ATSC 3.0 RF ch. 36.

Who know what RMP ch for K33OB-LD will be named or just leave it at real RF ch. 33!

Man that's alot of typing for real RF ch. 33!!

It will be on 33 since 50 is already used in the market. Thats pretty much how it works if there is a station with the existing channel number in the market. Trip says its 33 but when the station was built back in the day it was on RF50
