ITV has axed children's channel CITV after 40 years 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. Instead, ITV will replace it with their new streaming service ITVX. The ITVX Kids section will be available from July 2023.
It is expected that CITV will be removed from TV channels by autumn, reports the Mirror.

Craig Morris, managing director of ITV said: "We're really excited to launch this dedicated destination for kids on ITVX, which will be home to a wealth of content including new series, recognisable brands and existing favourites for a range of ages, all in one child-safe area, with editorial curation to guide viewing.
"The wealth of content will be available to stream for free, with the option for parents to choose ad-free viewing, through a subscription to ITVX Premium."
