http://www.equestriadaily.com/2015/12/nickelodeon-partners-with-hasbro-for.html#idc-cover Do you think this could mean the show is going to Nickelodeon? I don't think that's the case, personally. I've seen commercials for the toys on Nickelodeon lots of times.
Now that MLP:FiM has reached 100+ episodes, it's likely that Hasbro is looking at syndication deals with other channels. If anything, this is good news, as FiM being shown on Nick would increase viewership greatly.
I know a marketing intern for Nickelodeon. He get's freebees from their all the time. If this does go through, he'll be over the moon when the new freebees turn up. Otherwise, kiiiinda meh on it. I don't watch proper TV much anymore.
