Default CITV channel to close as ITV makes most children’s shows online-only

Like the BBC Plans

[The BBC has already announced plans to
make its CBBC channel online-only,
although the preschool CBeebies remains
safe for now.]


https://www.theguardian.com/media/20...on-online-only


[ITV is shutting down its CITV channel
and shifting most of its children’s programmes
to streaming-only, arguing that young
people have largely given up on watching
scheduled television.

CITV will disappear as a standalone
channel in the autumn, with all children’s
content shifting to the streaming platform ITVX.
The broadcaster said the channel
was unprofitable and children’s TV audiences
had collapsed in recent years because of a shift
to YouTube and other streaming services.
