you would think they would have a website now maybe saying wats on the 1st show well maybe there is one we just dont know where it is LOL

Carlton Interactive Media have registered the domain ministryofmayhem.tv and also ministryofmayhem.com - i am guessing the site will appear there, although there is nothing there yet.
But they've got the budget to be able to launch a digital channel. The media guardian article you quoted puts CiTV's budget at £36m. When Nigel Pickard was at CBBC, the budget then was £105m. We've already said about the problems the CiTV/ITV Kids channel could have when filling up its schedules though.
One thing I've suggested several times is finding a slot for old episodes of SM:TV (And maybe other past Saturday Morning shows as well). Each one of those is 2 hours a go and could fill a big gap, especially at times when few people might be watching. Obviously they might have to trim them down a bit to remove things like references to entering competitions and other things there might be issues with such as when SM:TV showed Scooby-Doo, which the BBC now have the rights to.
Janie Grace had nothing to do with Boohbah. It's a GMTV production, well Ragdoll for GMTV. CiTV will have paid GMTV to get the rights to show them, or something to do with the CiTV/GMTV Kids link.
Boobah was actually a CiTV/GMTV co-production. Neither service would have enough money to pay for Boobah on its own.
Similarly GMTV and CITV shared the righs to Pokemon when it was big a couple of years ago.
When it's comes to making SMTV with Blaze and MoM with Carlton, what sort of in-put do CiTV have?
Remember "CiTV" is just the brand name for ITV children's output. There isn't a CITV department, just programmes from various indies, as well as from Granada and Carlton (with Granada set become the name for all ITV in house productions).
If you mean CiTV pres in Birmingham (Carlton for ITV), then their input into SMTV/MOM is none. Both shows mentioned are made by their respective companies (both Carlton and Foundation in the case of MOM) for ITV.

If you take into account the fact that CITV has less than a quarter of the output time that CBBC ONE/CBBC/CBEEBIES has, then it has more money per hour of programming than CBBC. It's just the way they choose to spend it that is the problem! I wonder how many millions Janie Grace threw away on Boobah?

That isn't the case.
I know for a fact that CITV (Janie Grace) paid a substantial amount for the rights to show Boobah and GMTV just topped up the total so they could show it too!

So why on every endcap of the programme is it a ragdoll production for GMTV, if CiTV paid the majority, it would be a ragdoll programme for itv, or CiTV.
Found this drama in the CiTV schedule for next week...

Children's comedy series. When 15-year-old Marty dies after eating a six-month-old burger, he must earn his admission into heaven by returning to Earth as his best friend's guardian angel.[/code:1:1c5ee13109]
Sounds novel if nothing else. It's probably an import, has to be either American or Australian for its absurity.

Yeah, that's the old 1997 Teen Angel - American. It's quite funny aswell if I remember, but I'd say it's more for teenagers than the young audience CITV are now meant to be aiming for...
Does anyone remember the Sabrina the teenage Witch episode where Salem swallows a magic time-travelling ball where they all go back to the sixties? That episode doesn't end properly because the ending actually takes place on Teen Angel - there's one crossover episode where Salem and Sabrina turn up .

Ooh I remember that episode! It's one of my favourites too! It's the one where her Aunts ensure she has 'good, clean fun'... I thought at the end she tells her new boyfriend that it wont work out and so she goes back home? What happens in the Teen Angel episode then?
Yes, I'm a fan of Sabrina and the ending without resolution on that time travel episode has always puzzled me. I just presumed everything was put back between episodes. Can someone tell me what happens?
