FiM Time Change on the Hub

For those watching FiM the cool way,  expect to tune in an hour later (and get some sleep!).  New episodes on Saturday will now air at 10:00 AM EST instead of 9:00 AM EST starting on the 17th of October.  (Note: Episode 3 will still be at the same 9:00 AM EST time )

All of this and more can be found at Nickandmore

I thought that was just the fourth episode. That the next one would air as it has before.

Pocketguns2 said...

what time is that in GMT?

Octavia said...

I'm kinda glad to hear this, that time works a little better for me. I won't have to be up quite as early, especially when I'm usually up late as it is. :P

starchaser34 said...

thats 12 am in australia

Jelfes said...

Darn, now I have to stay up an extra hour later than the usual six I stay up for, for the new episode!

NO! I... I work at 9 AM (Eastern Time) on Saturday! Getting up and watching the show with my sister was the only thing that kept me going and what got me through the day! This sucks! >.<

Lord Bloomberg said...

Thank god, I can sleep.

Unknown said...

Ugh, gotta stay up till 4:30 AM now? I really hope I'm not working on Saturdays.
Extra bad since I'm usually so tired from D&D on Fridays.

Twilight Flopple said...

We need The Hub in Australia.

I'm sick of waiting for YouTube uploads.

Radimir said...

Twelve in the morning... Not sure if want.

Flutteryay said...

Awesome, this actually works better for me :)

Stormcaller said...

Blarg! I will miss the episodes due to work!!

Walmart y u no let me watch ponies??

Seriously tho, that gets me through my day.

ChaosDX1 said...

Woo! More sleep!

I'll probably wait longer for it to hit youtube though. Higher quality than the Streams.

namelesspony said...

Ooh yeah, this is about the perfect time for me.

Invi said...

4pm in germany :)

aurapaladin said...

12PM for the live streams and 12:30 until I get any sleep at all...still, at least you americans are going to get sleep. So it works out better in the long run.

Always kinda skeptic of kids shows premiering at 10 or later because by then the kids have usually lost interest in watching TV. Still, gotta be some reason for it. Any info on what's going to replace its timeslot?

Tovler said...

So the episodes will now be uploaded later on the internet? Boo! But at least the West Coasters now only have to wake up before 7am.

Laurence Brown said...

I'll be able to get some sleep... mainly because I pulled all-nighters to watch episodes 1 & 2, they came on half an hour after I usually go to bed. I'm not about to push that for another hour though. And with how fast people have been getting the shows up onto YouTube, and with how quickly those get posted her (Thanks everypony responsible for that!), well, I'll get to watch it right after I wake up. No better way to start one's day, right?

Thanks again for passing this information along to us Seth!

@Twilight Flopple
I for one second that motion.

Leopardmoon said...

rats... that means what is already 3am for me is now.... 4 am... sigh... I guess i'll just have to wait for the youtube release...

Marock said...

Sigh... well, this just proves I shouldn't be up that late...

daddyboom said...

Sweet now I don't have to wake up at 6 am to watch the live stream.
1 more hour of sleep ftw!

DarcySupremest said...

means i have to wait to 12:00 now?
least its on a Saturday.
I feel for my bronies around the world that have to wait till 4am I swear hasbro purposly makes it hard for country's besides The United States

Octas said...

Nice 10AM > 9PM for prime saturday morning cartoon viewing.

K9saurus said...

Meh, I'll still end up going back to bed whether it's 8am or 9am. Sorry to all the people that this messes up.

80PercentBrony said...

I'm just glad I taught myself over the course of episodes 1 and 2 of season 2 to wait until the at least 2 PM for a 1080p YouTube upload (I'm in Ontario so the show would hypothetically air at 9 here, to give you some perspective).

We don't get The Hub in Canada anyway. Everybody knows Treehouse TV sucks, and that's the only station that carries it at all up here. Censorship + weeks upon weeks behind on FiM episodes, among the station's other problems.

Anyway, after I realized I spent a full day waiting for a 1080p YouTube upload and doing little else, I realized I had my priorities screwed up. The PROPER Episode 1 of S2 ended up being uploaded at about 2 AM the following day, anyway.

All the best, folks.

Prefurences said...

@Twilight Flopple
I always watch it on Synctube for that reason.

ultra8 said...

Upside: Means I can sleep in and there'll be another showing around 12 noon. Double the double amount of pony for the weekend.

Downside: Deltora Quest is leaving again. Was hoping it get to the end and atleast show the missing episodes.

zhoomcar said...

having to wait for YouTube streams at 2am in the morning... NOOOOOOOO

Atiarotias said...

I HAVE TO WAIT TILL 4am!? Jeebus

MarkTheCat said...

All the time changed on Boomerang aswell, I had to reset all the recordings after I realised the three recorded episodes weren't ponies. D:

gonedreamer said...

4 pm in Poland. :) Not bad.

quackey said...

12am in Queensland Australia.

Samuel7897 said...

Thats 12:00 AM in Australia! Oh well doesn't really matter for me since I go to bed at 1:00 am all the time lol.

Firleycat said...

So that is 3PM for me. Look like I've got to rearrange my dinner schedule.

Atiarotias said...

3pm and Dinner schedule? How are those two even related??

Nutty said...

That sucks I watch the new EP than go to bed...

Nutty said...

@Nutty

Worth noting I live in Ca I just go to bed really "late"

RBDasher11 said...

That's 11PM in Taiwan. Awesome!!!

Firleycat said...

@Atiarotias
I take my sister out for dinner around 3pm on Saturdays. Any later and most of the carvery food starts to go off.

404compliant said...

Can someone confirm that this is in fact 10:00 EDT = UTC-4, not EST = UTC-5, in other words, its daylight savings time?

Time zone math is quite difficult, even without the annoying daylight savings...


From all I know about time zones and daylight savings, this should be the Central European schedule for the next weeks:

2011-10-15 09:00 EDT = 13:00 UTC = 15:00 CEST
2011-10-22 10:00 EDT = 14:00 UTC = 16:00 CEST
2011-10-29 10:00 EDT = 14:00 UTC = 16:00 CEST
2011-11-05 10:00 EDT = 14:00 UTC = 15:00 CET
2011-11-12 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET
2011-11-19 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET
2011-11-26 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET
2011-12-03 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET
2011-12-10 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET
2011-12-17 10:00 EST = 15:00 UTC = 16:00 CET

Note that there's an 1-hour offset on 2011-11-05 because Europe drops out of daylight savings one week earlier.

Seirei said...

The whole "starting on the 17th of October" part confuses me. This doesn't mean the show will be aired mondays from now on, does it?

James said...

Not sure how I feel about the time change, but I think it was in the interest of making sure the younger demographic is able to watch the episodes without needing to wake up so early.

Cátsy said...

something is fishy here... are we still getting the new episode on saturday oct 15th at 9am? or is that what is being changed to 10am since the 17th is on a monday?

Unlimited Brony said...

That's 4pm in Germany. Perfect. :D

Cátsy said...

Looks like the 15th is unaffected but that the week AFTER will air at 10am so the 15th f oct will still air at 9am since changes to the new schedules won't start till monday for the new weekday and weekend schedules.

That makes more sense now

Hank Officer said...

@RBDasher11 Really? I thought it will be 10pm in Taiwan. o_o

James Corck said...

AWESOME!!!

That means 4 pm for those who are in the Germany time frame, and 3 pm for those who live in the Greenwich time frame. That makes watch the show a lot easier since it's right after I have had lunch <3 Thank you Hasbro! Thank you Seth for letting us know!

...But I kinda already knew, because the time of Luna Eclipsed on those screencaps was 10 am >_>

kelzae said...

NNNNOOOOOOO
...
Oh wait it's saturday!
YAY!

kal413 said...

Pshh, sleep is for yellowbellies. This only adds to my waiting time for ponies

Pecan Crisp said...

Why can't they just make a channel that's all pony, all the time?

Wento said...

@70f31582-eb1d-11e0-b79f-000bcdcb8a73

look at the bright side! now you'll have an awsome episode to come home to after work.

Cantus said...

Badass Gilda is badass.

Smashmatt202 said...

Good, I can change my alarm, then.

Also, I like how you say watching it on the actual channel is "the cool way", because it is.

kamiskewl said...

If it were on at 11 I would probably watch it live, but being up at 10 is just too much when you go to bed at 5 AM, even for ponies.

jodyjm13 said...

Has anyone else noticed that they've stopped the Monday through Thursday 6pm showing of MLP:FiM? Since my work schedule changed I was almost never home in time to watch it then anyway, but still I have to wonder if that means it wasn't pulling in the viewership in that timeslot that the Hub was hoping for.

AnimeDoom said...

Grrr, I always eat my lunch on a Saturday at 2PM while watching this, now I'm gonna have to push my food back an hour so I can still watch the show.

Curse you America for being so far behind GMT.

Chris Tucker said...

@Cantus

Yes. Yes, she is.

Gilda is a wonderful work of character design. I would honestly like to see more of her in the second season.

megantron said...

THANK YOU HUB that's perfect.

C.Olimar788 said...

An additional hour of sleep before getting up for ponies? I am very okay with this. :D

Flutterfan said...

Good, that's a no brainer. I mean are little kids (their supposed main demo) even up at 9am on a Saturday?

Toxic Potato said...

Not too much better for west coasters... Too hard for me to wake up at 7, let alone 6. T~T

Ah well, I'll manage.

KRY said...

Daylight Savings Time starts on Nov 6th this year for the US, so that's not why the time of the airing changed for all who were wondering

Namefag Anon said...

THANK YOU BASED HUB. you'd have no idea how difficult it was for me to get up at fucking 9:00 AM a couple Saturday's ago

Brony Ponch said...

that means i have to stay up for another hour D:

7am...

elemental756 said...

8 instead of 7 for me.Still gotta record it and watch it later.No way i am getting up that early

theoneandonly said...

no now i'm going to miss because of work curse you for setting my hours for Saturdays now i have to wait all day to watch the new episodes

Misc. Brony said...

now i can sleep till 7 yay.

mycutiemarkisagun said...

Clearly a brony-friendly move. Hasbro know what they doin.

c.t.burgh said...

Damn, I usually work 10am on Saturdays. So I watch the new episode, get ready, and go. Now I have to wait til after work!

BlueNight said...

Well, no more new episodes live before Toastmasters. :( I guess I'll have to watch them afterward.

senefen said...

Oh son of a... it was already at midnight for me in Australia. Ugh. 1am ponies, and I think it'll shift to 2am once American daylight savings kicks in.
Bugger.
