In September 2014, it was announced that Hasbro would end its partnership with Discovery Communications, and as a result, the Hub Network was replaced by Discovery Family on October 13th.
  • Wakko's Wish was broadcast on the channel in November 2012 as a Hub family movie. Jess Harnell reprised his role as Wakko in a promo for the film. The Hub later announced that they would be airing reruns of Animaniacs, starting with a four-hour marathon on December 24th and the show officially joining the network's line-up on January 7, 2013. Special dialogue was provided by Rob Paulsen, Tress MacNeille, and Jess Harnell, reprising their roles as the Warners, for promos announcing the show's inclusion.
  • In May 2010, The Hub announced that reruns of Fraggle Rock would be among the network's inaugural programming, alongside various new and classic series, including many based on Hasbro properties. The Hub should not be confused with The HUB, the former name of HIP, or Henson Independent Properties, (a third-party licensing division of The Jim Henson Company). The Hub also had an official Fraggle Rock webpage. A noticeable goof (at least to fans) was the fact that Junior Gorg's page did not depict Junior, but Gunge. The picture had since been replaced.
  • The Hub premiered the show itself in October 10, 2010, and re-runs of the show were shown until it was taken off the air, as of 2011. However, the show returned to the network in the night-owl half hour of 4:30 AM Central Standard Time in October 2012, and The No-L 9 Christmas special has been shown since 2010. From time to time, the show gets pulled, and put back, from the network, often in the overnight hours.

Discovery Communications plans to rebrand the network as Discovery Family on October 13th, 2014, after buying Hasbro's 50% stake of Hub Network. It is unlikely that the show will be on schedule, as it is not listed as part of the new Discovery Family lineup. The rebranding was completed on October 13th.

On October 13, 2014, the Hub Network was replaced by Discovery Family. Animaniacs was a new show from the channel's schedule shortly afterward, but was inexplicably removed from the lineup in place of educational programs. Despite this, Tiny Toons still airs, even though Animaniacs had more educational segments.
  • In May 2010, The Hub announced that reruns of Fraggle Rock would be among the network's inaugural programming, alongside various new and classic series, including many based on Hasbro properties. The Hub should not be confused with The HUB, the former name of HIP, or Henson Independent Properties, (a third-party licensing division of The Jim Henson Company). For San Diego Comic-Con in 2010, The Hub and The Jim Henson Company organized a small Fraggle Rock exhibit at the "The Hub TV Experience" located inside the San Diego Marriott. Karen Prell and Red Fraggle appeared at the exhibit on July 24, 2010 to promote Fraggle Rock's upcoming run on the network, with four sing-alongs of "Fraggle Rock Rock", alternating with four autograph sessions throughout the day. The Hub also had an official Fraggle Rock webpage. A noticeable goof (at least to fans) was the fact that Junior Gorg's page did not depict Junior, but Gunge. The picture had since been replaced. Other Henson-related broadcasts on The Hub included: * Muppet Treasure Island * The Muppets Take Manhattan * Muppets from Space * The Muppet Christmas Carol. * The Christmas Toy * Good Boy! * Five Children and It * The Great Muppet Caper * The Witches On November 27, 2010, The Hub aired a Muppet movie marathon consisting of The Muppets Take Manhattan, Muppet Treasure Island, Muppets from Space and The Muppet Christmas Carol for Thanksgiving weekend. Since June 1, 2012, The Hub discontinued airing Fraggle Rock regularly, although its page on The Hub's website was still accessible. To coincide with the show's 30th anniversary, on April 21, 2013 the channel aired "The Fraggle Rock-A-Thon", a three-hour marathon of Fraggle Rock episodes. Red (Karen Prell) and Gobo (John Tartaglia) appeared in new promotional spots for the marathon. Fraggle Rock episodes briefly returned to The Hub during June of 2013 and later aired on Sunday and Monday mornings at 5:00 AM EST for the remainder of the channel's run. In September 2014, it was announced that Hasbro would alter its partnership with Discovery Communications, and as a result, the Hub Network was replaced by Discovery Family on October 13th. However, Fraggle Rock is still available on Discovery Family's on demand service.
