MLP:FiM is a different situation. The Hub was a lacking cable network, and was desperate of a strong show. Apparently MLP:FiM is a strong show in their eyes and decidedly backs up the series to what it is today.

But now, Cartoon Network is already a strong cable network, having a show like Sonic Boom attracting viewers outside of the demographics can make the execs question if 'Boom should be there to begin with.
