That was beloved and there were loads of memories but nobody had watched it for about 20 years
Then shoot themselves in the foot when they say "CITV was the brand first used in 1983", except it wasn't that at all it was the longer term but common mistake so I may forgive them that... They also have a picture of the ITV logo. The one ITV stopped using in 2018.
Then to illustrate the piece they have Michael Underwood, Holly Willoughby and Stephen Mulhern. None of these people have had anything to do with that strand for at least the last 15 years. They also seem to suggest Art Attack started in 2006, and that Jungle Run is one of the best shows CITV ever made.
Wonderful journalism. Not.
It’s notable that all the CITV memories in these articles seem to hark from when it was a strand on ITV rather than a stand alone channel
