I suppose it would be different, however I'd prefer if they tried a kids style Saturday Morning TV Programme following on from Milkshake!.

If they did do that I could imagine that they would just use the 'Shake' brand again to tie in with 'Milkshake'

I think there have picked up Spongebob, as that was displaced from Viva.

Well Viva, Nickelodeon and Channel 5 are all owned by Viacom.

That's just brought on a flashback. Does anyone remember talk years ago of ITV teaming up with Nickelodeon to create a new children's block called INK (ITV Nickelodeon Kids)? Weird it got as far as having a brand but never actually happened.

I wish it did happen. Though Nick is mostly crap these days.

Earlier this year the broadcasters confirmed that the project - which had the working title 'INK' (ITV Nickelodeon Kids) - was in development but that "detailed legal negotations" were slowing things down.

"We just got to the point of thinking that it was more sustainable for us to do it ourselves," a 'senior' ITV source told Broadcast this week. "The deal fizzled out over a period of time. We tried to make [the deal] work and it wasn't for the want of trying - but it was a difficult one."

I'm not entirely sure how it would have worked, seeing as Nickelodeon would have continued as a standalone channel. Repeats from Nick and new shows from CITV? Who would that appeal to? Especially since just a few months after launching their brand new, all day children's channel, they decided to… stop making children's programmes. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/5099694.stm

I think they have started to make more kids programmes now. They made a 4th series of Mr Bean: The Animated Series in late 2014/early 2015, Thunderbirds Are Go, Horrible Science, Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge and some others.

Note: Fort Boyard: Ultimate Challenge was a co-production with Disney XD, but just for series 1. Now it's just itv.

ITV aren't actually making the shows though, are they? All of them, bar Thunderbirds are made by other production companies.

As said, CITV obviously now have more money to play with.
