New ITV Player launches with pay mechanism (January 2006)

This site closed in March 2021 and is now a read-only archive

Seems that the CITV website is closing this month and will simply redirect to the CITV ITV Player page. Presumably that will happen on the 14th.

Such a shame the website is closing. It was a great site before it was incorporated into itv.com last year. It had games, Art Attack 'instructions'. But the website was poorly updated and it had pages that had the old 2006 logo on.


Also on the subject of CITV, Mini CITV is closing as a brand so I should think the website will also close. More details are in the CITV thread.

ITV Player having a host of problems as they upgrade the site today. I seem to be getting both 'Error 404' pages and messages saying performance will be hindered whilst they upgrade the site.

Maintenance in progress

We're currently updating ITV Player. You can still browse the site and play programmes but you will likely experience problems logging in, managing your profile, renting programmes and doing searches so we suggest you avoid those features for a few minutes. Updates are normally completed in under an hour.


At least they have acknowledged the problems.

Take it that's the new font on the ITV player - renders horribly. Not a good start to the rebrand.

The website itv.com/citv is now no more, and it just redirects to Citv on ITV Player.

Its the current font, not the new one. The new font does not have a curve on the tail of the y

I'm really excited to see how much the website changes.

Apparently there are brand amnesty bins which should be filled with anything containing anything of the old branding, according to the rebrand thread on the main board, which suggests every indication of it is being eliminated.

If the same extends online, we should see massive changes to the website. The new font would need to be put up everywhere, the logos for the channels on the sites, the individual channel sites, the TV guide, the press centre website...

Plus what about the apps for iPhone, Android etc?

I can't wait!

Looking around some pages, the Jeremy Kyle page has changed it's colour design from yellow and black to green and white, same with the dancing on ice page. A uniform colour maybe for ITV 1 shows?

Nice spot.

Noticed anything else?

Only that the ITV Live link on the homepage has been redirected to the ITV 1 page which has now been changed to ITV.

What irritates me though is when they have TV shows advertised but then when you click on them it just redirects you to the TV Show directory.

And we could see a new homepage, hopefully! They have had the same images and content on their now for a couple of days. I'm sure of it. So hopefully a lack of update means work behind the scenes on a new website.

The ITV national weather website background doesn't go far enough.

And the drama page has also adopted the green look, all links now go to the ITV Player and they have changed the design from the chunkier This Morning style to the thinner Emmerdale style site.
