As such, it’s an easy win to dump some kids shows on a Saturday and Sunday morning, when they don’t do GMB anyway. It complies with the licence, but also allows them to point to an ostensibly high-profile linear outlet in response to criticism of the ITVX streaming-first approach.(04-05-2023, 05:08 PM)Tola Wrote: From looking, it's mainly imports and such that are being rolled out - not sure what will happen to already UK made shows that are already on the CITV Channel (How reboot and Don't Unleash The Beast) but I suspect they might move new eps to the ITVX Kids service when launched or the ITV2 strand
Remember ITV1 has plenty of hours at the weekend breakfast time to fill, so I guess any new home made kids shows will be placed there.
They could provide a basic block of programming on ITV2 on weekdays, but I doubt they will bother, as ITVX seems now to be the dumping ground for everything.
