(Edited by itsrobert at 7:27 pm on Sep. 14, 2001)

My channel would simply be BBC World.

By making some slight alterations to the times of certain programmes, this would be my schedule for ITV1 based on the current schedule

What do you think? Would you watch it?
BE GENTLE!!! PLEASE!

My 13-year-old brother has made at least twelve tiresome fantasy channels based on his fave kids shows (and a handful of 'proper' shows) from across the networks but sheer cliff-facing boredom prevents me from reproducing them here... just think FoxNick Cartoon Kids Networkelodeon and you're not far wrong...
