CITV is to close
01-09-2023, 08:15 PM
A certain irony that 17 years ago we were moaning about kids shows going from a main channel slot to a much less watched dedicated channel and now we're moaning about a dedicated channel being closed and content bring moved to a slot on a much more watched channel.
Latest BARB figures show on average ITV2 has a share of 2.16% compared to 0.12% for CITV, so extrapolating that I suspect kids are already watching ITV2 more anyway. Indeed ITVBe is only at 0.15% so may be next in the firing line. For the record "ITV Non-Linear" (so ITVX) has 0.95% and "STV Non-Linear" at 0.03%.

So CITV will still be alive, just on ITVX and ITV2 rather that it's own dedicated channel?

Let's all come together and celebrate the legacy of citv. It started around the same time i came into the world, i used to watch the preschool slot religiously, as well as a lot of horrid henry. I wasn't as good as cbbc, but i appreciated it. The channel's loss will leave a big hole in my heart, so as the sun sets on one era, let us look forward to a new beginning for kids content on itv. To citv, and itvx kids!

Following on from my post from a couple of days ago about ITVX for kids... turns out it does have kids profiles, but only on some devices. It can be done on a browser but only as a new account, not paired with an adult one.

Have just watched the last closedown and as expected, nothing special.

Well that was underwhelming, the closure of CITV.

Looks like they're alternating between a barker and a caption on the ITVX stream.

Citv looks like it will be looping the itvx kids promo, now with an updated citv is closed announcement, with a itvx slide inbetween. That's what appeared to happen after dave spud. Funnily enough, the channel went off in the middle of the promo, right after she said citv is closed
