Overview
- The ITV2 CITV block, which reports say ends Friday, April 10, would retire the children's brand after a four-decade run.
- The claim comes from a Media Central UK post on X, and news outlets say ITV has not issued an official confirmation.
- The post said some shows would move to the BBC's CBBC channel and others to ITVX Kids, though that redistribution is unconfirmed.
- ITV already closed the standalone CITV Freeview channel in 2023 and directed viewers to the ITVX Kids Hub, with weekend broadcasts shifting to ITV2.
- CITV launched in 1980 and became home to shows such as Art Attack, My Parents Are Aliens, Tots TV and Fraggle Rock, which fans are now recalling with nostalgia.
