The HUB Network, a destination for kids and their families, looks back at the year-to-date and experiences growth in Total Day and Primetime in key demos, including Kids and Girls, as well as Adults, Women and Persons 2+. Additionally, the HUB Network has its Best Week Ever in Kids 6-11 in Total Day thanks in part to performances by "Pound Puppies," "My Little Pony Friendship Is Magic," "Kaijudo: Clash of the Duel Masters" and "Family Game Night," all from Hasbro Studios, as well as "R.L Stine's The Haunting Hour: The Series" from Front Street Pictures and The Hatchery, LLC, "The Aquabats! Super Show!" from AWESOME FORCES! Productions, and "SheZow" from Moody Street Kids and Kickstart Productions, Inc. The HUB Network's nightly movies in Primetime also contributed to the growth.
