I don't have that much nostalgia for CBBC and CITV but then there weren't any shows I made the effort to tune into every week. I knew that the kids blocks were on during certain times though as well as that TV wasn't all about what I wanted to watch. When the blocks were removed from the main channels, I feel that sent the wrong message to a lot of adults that TV was just for them and they have been spoiled since as not just kids programmes but a lot of young-skewing shows were axed and replaced with shows aimed at them.
The ratings for the CBBC block were poor in the end and whilst that was partly to do with content elsewhere, what was showing on the BBC wasn't of the same quality as before.
Looking at the current CBBC schedules, I don't see the same variety of programming that was once available. Where are the game shows? The Grange Hills and the Byker Groves for older kids?
