If BBC and ITV are getting rid of saturday mornings,why don't Channel 4 and Five have a go? Mind you,they might want to keep their programmes.

Popworld, whose audience figures dropped faster than a Simon & Miquita memorial book the minute CDUK used to come on air - wonder how they will fare when it returns on Five, a channel that most, if not all, of the music audience will have access to...

JUst seen a programme promo on GMTV. The programme was for Toonattik. The fascinating thing about it was at the end. "Toonattik Saturday Morning on CITV on ITV1 and on the CITV Channel."
This beggars belief as I thought Toonattik was on GMTV and not ITV1!! Is this how ITV are getting away with it for Saturday mornings - if so, then shame on them as they are using another channels programme to bolster their PSB hours for children's programming!!!

I am not actually saying the point that it's on Citv - IT IS, but they are advertising the fact that the programme is on CITV on
ITV1
when it should be CITV on
GMTV
. As realistically speaking GMTV is not yet part of ITVplc and don't (along with Ulster, Channel and STV-both versions) have to use the name ITV1.

When the CITV Channel was created it was decided that the GMTV Children's programmes would be branded as CITV so they could have a consistant brand across all kids output
It's nothing to do with trying the bolster PSB hours. It's just making it simple for viewers who don't care that GMTV is seperate from ITV1

I'm glad that ITV have done this, it looks rather silly after 23 Years of two childrens strands on ITV, fair enough it didn't matter much during the TV-am years as there was little or no competition then, but I don't think it went in CiTV/ITV's favour during the latter half of the 1990's and the 2000's when you cannot get the CiTV output at Breakfast time, where as CBBC has had great success at it, as with Channel 4 and other Sky kid's channels.
They should have done this years ago, but as ITV was more of a different organisation then, now is probably the earliest time they could do it, but Charles Allen made it clear sometime last year of his ambiton for CiTV to be used on GMTV. Good idea really, GMTV still gets it's Childrens programmes out, still has it's Disney programmes available too, but under the ITV brand, surely it's good...?
