Season 4 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was the last season of the show's First Era (2010-2014).
This season aired on weekends for the last time before My Little Pony: Pony Life premiered in November 2020, and from April 29, 2021 through July 29, 2022, it aired on weekday afternoons from 3:00 to 5:00 p.m.; after that, its timeslots moved to from 1:30 to 4:00 p.m. The season gradually removed episodes from circulation since October 2022, before bringing them all back on the air in July 2023.
When aired on the Hub Network (now Discovery Family), the first three episodes are closed-captioned by VITAC in pop-on mode, while episodes 4, 5, 14, 18, 19, 20 and 24 are done in roll-up mode (like in the second half of Season 2 and in Season 3), and the rest are unknown (but looks a bit similar to the National Captioning Institute's style, but with brackets replaced by parentheses), in which their closed captions for all 26 episodes (with text usually displayed in lowercase) are used worldwide.
