The Hub, previously known as the Hasbro-Discovery Communications Joint Venture Network, is a cable television network in the United States owned by the Hasbro-Discovery Communications Joint Venture[1]. It began broadcasting October 10, 2010, replacing the channel formerly known as Discovery Kids.
The Hub is the outlet for the Transformers: Prime, My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic and G.I. Joe: Renegades cartoons. In the 2011-12 season, Transformers: Rescue Bots also joined the network's line-up. Its management team is headed up by Margaret Loesch, a veteran of the Transformers brand who worked on the original cartoon, which airs weeknights on the channel.

Starting July 9, 2012, The Hub will also be adding Transformers Animated to their lineup.
