This move feels like preparation for that change.(12-03-2023, 11:28 PM)Milkshake Wrote: I do mean children's programming returning to the 6am - 09.25 slot. Your right there are still broadcasting stuff right now, However they have been axing it and reinstating the kids programmes off and no for years now.
Over the course they used to have chat show, AKA, Weekend, Zoe Ball on, Martin & Roman's Weekend Best! ( I cant remember who had it in 2019)
I think the kids programmes will still air on Saturday and Sunday morning on ITV1.
It makes more sense for Ofcom to allow ITV to transfer any Children’s programming into a daily morning strand on ITV2. This will avoid confusion…
At the moment the kids’ programming on ITV1 at weekends is purely to meet quota requirements. I expect the next step will be to move this to ITV2 or get rid entirely.
Whether ITV will take ITVX Kids seriously and invest actual time and money into it long-term, or it becomes another deserted ghost-town, remains to be seen.
