I liked it at 10 a lot more. Shame they never get better quality episodes (like the ones Hallmark, TV Land, Nick at Nite, TBS had).

Discovery Communications seems to be preparing the Street for bad news about
The HUB -- the kids channel it co-owns with Hasbro. In a $500 million debt
filing at the SEC this morning, Discovery says that last month the companies
amended their partnership agreement to create an undescribed "trigger event"
that could lead to a writedown indicating the property is worth less than they
had thought. The filing adds that "The HUB’s management is in the process of
conducting a fair value analysis to support goodwill impairment testing," with
the results expected in 3Q. The companies also agreed to an unspecified change
in the license fees that The HUB pays for its cartoons. The channel, which
targets ages 6-12, has struggled to grow since October when Discovery and Hasbro
re-branded Discovery Kids. It has attracted an average total day audience of
23,000 so far in the second quarter, down from 24,000 in the first quarter.

Discovery says it will support general corporate expenditures with the $500
million it hopes to raise from a sale of senior unsecured notes due in 2021.
Moody's Investors Service says the company probably will use most of the cash to
buy back its stock. Discovery has already repurchased 11.6 million shares of its
common stock from the $1 billion currently authorized for that purpose. That
includes the $147 million it spent between April 1 and June 10 to buy 3.9
million shares. Moody's gave the new debt filing a Baa2 rating, which means it's
considered a moderate credit risk. A new round of stock repurchases could
provide a bump for Discovery's shares. They've appreciated about 5% over the
last 12 months, under-performing the Standard & Poor's 500, which was up
about 17%.
