There seems to be many a programme from other channels, such as Recess, Spongebob's on there as is Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (the new cartoon series on Jetix).

So it's either the fact that ITV are using their share of GMTV and the Disney programmes, alternatively they're going to show all GMTV's kids shows as part of the channel even if GMTV isn't mentioned.

As for the channels, could it be the fact that they don't know the channel numbers yet? They know freeview as it's already listed, but they may not know Sky's due to Sky not knowing yet, especially as a recent article suggested that Toonami was moving to EPG number 602 rather than 621, yet the Sky new numbers don't seem to mention it.

if its in ITV4's downtime shouldn't the space be there


The space is there but they may not be able to get an EPG position straight away.
I think that if they don't manage to get an EPG position in time they'll just advertise it as being on ITV4 (like when ITV4 lauched and it was on Men and Motors) so at least they can say it was the most successful multichannel channel launch in UK history!

If the channel is being launched at 9.25am on a Saturday morning I'd suggest it may end up being simulcast on ITV1

I was thinking the same, that it will launch on both ITV1, and the new channel, with either the Saturday Showdown, or a special programme instead (which would most probably be hosted by Stephen & Holly).

The word is Children.


Thank God I'm not the only one who thinks that. I bloody hate the americanisation of "Children" to "Kids". Drive's me up the wall.

Fiona Phillips once expressed the same sentiments on GMTV.

Was this at a point when GMTV's children's programmes were under the strand of GMTV kids?
