I've not commented on it yet, but I will say this: I am actually happy CITV is closing down, because I don't think it worked as a channel anyway. CBBC works as a channel, because the BBC has to provide high quality entertainment for children that informs, educates, and entertains. CITV was the complete opposite: It is the equivalent of sugared grain based cereal. The vast majority of its programming isn't original, its bought in, second run animation. And Teen Titans GO is all well and good, but when you consider the programming on CBBC, its no competition.

Moving children's programming to streaming only on ITVX will work better for the shows that they are airing. Young kids, and I have two children in my family aged 8 and under, consume things so differently, that it is hard for me to compate what I watched as a child to what they watch now. The children only know On Demand, its a fact of life for them. We didn't.
