In November the network's new series "Littlest Pet Shop," which premiered November 10, was the top-ranked series on The Hub among all key demographics.

For the month of November, in Total Day and in Prime time, The Hub earned year-to-year delivery gains among Kids 2-11, Kids 6-11, Women 18-49, Adults 18-49, Persons 2+ and Households.
