Earlier this month, it was announced that ITV had axed children's channel CITV in a streaming shake-up.
CITV is famous for shows such as My Parents Are Aliens and the classic Jungle Run, but the channel will go off the air later this year. ITV will replace it with their new streaming service ITVX. The ITVX Kids section will be available from July 2023.
A sign-of-the-times, perhaps, children's ITV first launched as a block in the station's programming schedule in 1983 before ITV launched CITV as a channel in its own right in 2006. Through the years, many will remember watching Art Attack, Grange Hill and The Worst Witch on the channel, as well as some other favourites on rival channels such as CBBC.
