CiTV & Ministry of Mayhem thread

Yep, with their fantastic theme tune (not on the website, that's their own theme tune that you can have as background music), with the great Rock beat.

They've got Michael, Stephen and Holly, but why MUST Leah do something for CiTV? She can do whatever she wants to.

The point I was making is that she might be in an exclusive contract, such as Ant & Dec are with ITV, so that she can only do work for Disney.
They didn't used to be, but I haven't seen any of them doing anything other than Studio Disney/Disney Programmes for a while, and they are big assets to Studio Disney's success.

And how exactly has CiTV improved? They still don't have links in every place where they should be, show too many trailers, and fill the remaining space with programmes.
The only thing that I will grant you is that they now create some funny lines and add on sound effects, but with so little effort, the whole of CiTV only really needs one person to do everything. Add in the animations, and a sound effect and Voice Over it. It's nothing spectacular. It's something that children's channels do in the day, not meant for the only children's section on ITV.

And if it needs to be out of vision, more effort could be made, like having proper live links, competitions, and menu's, and maybe characters or two appearing how they managed to hold onto to a part of the audience through the 90's.

Leah dosen't need to but it would be good if she did do something for CiTV.And CiTV does show LOADS of trailers but it's got rid of Dora the explorer.And mucha lucha's quite funny and it starts at 3.45 which is the same as another channel...
Anyway back to the Studio Disney titles.

Do you mean you have got those titles?Because if you have,can you upload them?

True about Dora the Explorer, and it does start at 3:30 with Mr.Bean, though it would be great if it did have in vision continuity.

The Studio Disney titles are the best that I've seen in a while and have a great singalong theme tune, well not really sing as they haven't got any words.

Never going to happen in the current world of Children's ITV, or at least not while the commercials you see on ITV1 come from four or five different places (LNN, Leeds, SMG, UTV and probably Channel), and there are clauses under the old ITC code as applied by OFCOM in which broadcasters should shift anything that may cover up important text on a commercial, which includes crawlers. Nickelodeon can probably get away with it on the basis it's a little watched station. ITV, being national and currently looking likely to have to refund advertisers due to a falling audience share, can't really afford to piss the advertisers off any further with crawlers, DOGs or anything.



I never noticed.

CiTV could always use virtual presenters if they wanted to cut costs by not having a real studio or presenters.

i would if I could. I don't have a capture card yet, but may get one. As I've put in the requests forum (didn't know where else to put it), has anyone any ideas on what to get?

Never thought about that. Oh well, They'll just have to find other ways, such as the old, stay tuned to find out the answer to this question, or the best idea that Steve Ryde and his team the 2/3/4 minute warning, infact I once saw a 1 minute warning during the summer! But the idea was that viewers could win something but they only had the duration of the commercial break to enter!

What about my other ideas! I do have too much time on my hands!

I've just noticed Michael and Leah sitting together on 'The Celebrity Awards' so they must still be good friends even though they don't work with each other now.
Leah is much better on Studio Disney though, she definatly made the right decision.

LoveTV

[quote="fanoftv"] i would if I could. [quote] That's what i get when i don't look at the profile!

Ah how nice! Plus they'll most probably both be based in London, or thereabouts (as Leah has to catch a train), for all we know, they could be dating!

As you say Love TV, Leah is a hell of lot better, mainly as she can do whatever she wants, has more on air time, and more people to interact and things to do. It was definately a better choice.

Studio Disney is something that CiTV should look at and learn from!

If I was controller of CITV, I would get a survey done by kids, then axe or change MOM, and watch the ratings and make improvements.
