Note: This is an alternate universe. Granada Sky Broadcasting Reviews Channel Lineup Following ITV plc Merger

London, Early January 2005 — Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB), the joint venture responsible for distributing a range of popular television channels on satellite and cable platforms, has confirmed it is undertaking a strategic review of its overall channel portfolio in the wake of the recent merger between Carlton Communications and Granada plc, which formed the newly unified ITV plc.

The merger, completed late last year, brought together two of the UK’s largest commercial broadcasters under one roof. This consolidation has placed Carlton Communications’ channel Carlton Cinema firmly under the ownership and management of GSB, alongside other key channels in the lineup including ITV2, ITV3, ITV News, Men & Motors, Granada Breeze, Shop! The Value Channel, and Wellbeing. The addition of Carlton Cinema extends GSB’s reach into niche film programming, complementing the existing entertainment and lifestyle offerings.

A spokesperson for GSB stated:
"With the formation of ITV plc, we now have an unparalleled opportunity to streamline and strengthen our channel portfolio to better serve our audience and advertising partners. We are actively reviewing all channels to ensure they align with our strategic objectives and deliver maximum value moving forward."

Industry insiders speculate that the review may result in the consolidation or repositioning of overlapping channels, especially given the challenges faced by niche channels such as Granada Breeze and Wellbeing, which have historically catered to more specialized audiences.

The Men & Motors channel, known for its male-oriented content including automotive programming and lifestyle, remains a strong performer within the portfolio, while ITV2 and ITV3 continue to build on their reputation for entertainment and drama respectively. Meanwhile, the addition of Carlton Cinema adds a classic film angle to the bouquet.

There has been no official word on potential channel closures or rebranding, but analysts expect the review to consider audience ratings, advertising revenue, and brand synergy in the coming months. The evolving digital television landscape and competition from emerging platforms have also been noted as factors influencing the review.

GSB’s channel lineup has played a significant role in expanding the reach of ITV’s content beyond its flagship terrestrial channel, offering viewers greater diversity in entertainment, lifestyle, and news programming.

Further announcements regarding any changes to the GSB suite of channels are anticipated later this quarter.

Write an article Febuary 5 2005, It mulls launching a CITV channel, and throws the fates of 3 of it's channels into question

Granada Sky Broadcasting Mulls Launching Dedicated CITV Channel, Puts Fate of Three Channels in Question

February 5, 2005 – London — Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB) is reportedly considering the launch of a dedicated CITV channel aimed at younger viewers — a move that could significantly reshape its existing channel portfolio. The potential new venture comes as GSB evaluates its current offerings in the wake of ITV plc’s recent formation and ongoing strategy to consolidate and strengthen its television assets.

Insiders suggest that if a standalone CITV channel is launched, it would serve as a dedicated home for children’s programming within the ITV ecosystem, building on the brand's longstanding reputation on the terrestrial ITV network.

However, industry observers note that this strategic pivot may come at a cost to some of GSB's existing niche channels. Sources close to the broadcaster indicate that the future of three channels — Granada Breeze, Wellbeing, and Shop! The Value Channel — may be under review, with the prospect of downsizing, rebranding, or even closure.

Granada Breeze, which has targeted a predominantly female audience with lifestyle and leisure programming, and Wellbeing, focused on health and fitness content, have reportedly seen modest audience figures compared to GSB’s entertainment and drama channels. Meanwhile, Shop! The Value Channel, GSB’s dedicated shopping channel, faces increasing competition from other retail broadcasters and online platforms.

A GSB spokesperson said:
"We continue to assess our portfolio to ensure it meets the evolving needs of our viewers and commercial partners. The concept of a dedicated CITV channel is very much under consideration, but no final decisions have been made. We are carefully evaluating the performance and strategic fit of all our channels as part of this process."

The prospect of a CITV channel is exciting for children’s entertainment fans, providing a single destination for popular shows and potentially increasing viewer engagement across digital platforms.

With the UK digital television market growing ever more competitive, GSB’s review underscores the importance of focused, brand-aligned programming to capture and retain audiences across multiple demographics.

Further announcements regarding channel line-up changes and the future of CITV programming on satellite and cable platforms are expected in the coming months.

Current GSB Channels Potentially Affected:

Granada Breeze
Wellbeing
Shop! The Value Channel

Granada Sky Broadcasting Prepares for ITV4 Launch, CITV to Follow Next Year; Several Channels Face Review

March 3, 2005 – London — Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB) has confirmed plans to launch the new entertainment channel ITV4 in the coming months, with a dedicated CITV children’s channel expected to debut sometime next year. Meanwhile, a comprehensive review is underway that could reshape the future of several existing channels in the GSB portfolio.

ITV4 is slated to cater primarily to a male audience, featuring a mix of sport, drama, and classic ITV programming, bolstering the broadcaster’s multi-channel offering as it competes increasingly in the digital arena. The channel’s launch is anticipated to strengthen ITV plc’s presence in a crowded marketplace and offer advertisers targeted options.

Additionally, a standalone CITV channel, long-awaited by fans of ITV’s children’s programming, is planned for rollout next year, providing a dedicated home for youth-oriented shows and potentially increasing visibility for the brand.

At the same time, GSB executives are reviewing the future of several current channels — including Shop! The Value Channel, Granada Breeze, Carlton Cinema, and Wellbeing. Sources say the review considers audience figures, brand alignment, and the competitive landscape.

Granada Breeze and Wellbeing, both lifestyle-focused channels, have struggled to find significant traction, while Shop! faces stiff competition from other shopping broadcasters and digital retail platforms. Carlton Cinema, now fully under the GSB umbrella following the ITV plc merger, is also being assessed for its ongoing viability amid shifting viewer habits.

Adding to the list of channels under scrutiny is ITV News. According to insiders, ITN, the independent news provider for ITV, is keen to concentrate its resources on the core ITV1 news bulletins rather than maintaining a separate dedicated news channel under GSB. This could signal an end or substantial overhaul for the ITV News channel, which currently offers around-the-clock national and international news coverage.

A spokesperson for GSB said:
"ITV4 represents an exciting new chapter in ITV’s multichannel strategy, and CITV’s launch next year will enhance our children’s programming offering. As part of our ongoing commitment to delivering the best possible content to viewers and our partners, we continue to evaluate other channels to ensure they fit strategically within our portfolio."

Industry analysts believe these developments reflect ITV plc’s broader goal to streamline its channel lineup, focus on core strengths, and better target audience demographics as digital television continues to expand in the UK.

Further details on channel closures or rebranding are expected in the coming weeks as GSB finalizes its multi-channel strategy for 2005.

Key Upcoming Launches:

CITV: Planned launch sometime in 2006

Hiroshima Home TV

On September 18, 1964, the station makes a license request as Setonaikai Broadcasting (unrelated to the current TV station of the same name). At the time, at least 42 companies wanted to apply for the third commercial television station in the prefecture, and the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications appointed Nagano Isuo to coordinate these applications.[1]: 30  The company gained a preliminary license on November 18, 1969, on the founders' meeting on December 25, the name Hiroshima HOME Television was selected (Setonaikai Broadcasting in Kagawa started in April that year.)[1]: 30 

In 1970, the station bought land to build its facilities,[1]: 30  in Shiroshima Kita-cho, Hiroshima City, building took place between March and September 23.[1]: 32  Test broadcasts were conducted from October 1; on December 1, at 6:50am, the station signed on its regular service for the first time, the first program being a morning bulletin from ANN News. At the time, the network carried programming from Nippon Educational Television (NET TV, current TV Asahi); the original abbreviation was UHT (UHF Hiroshima-Home Television).

In a ratings survey conducted by Video Research in January 1971, UHT achieved high ratings of 6,3% during the day and 12,3% during primetime hours. At the same time, the number of UHF-ready television sets in the prefecture increased to more than 544,000 units,[1]: 34  that same year, the station's fortunes were worth 1,345 billion yen.[1]: 36  In a survey in January 1973, its median all-day ratings were 8,4% and during primetime, 19,2%, becoming one of the most-viewed UHF stations of the time.[1]: 38  Profits that year exceeded 2 billion yen.[1]: 40 

Affected by the 1973 oil crisis which caused a slowing of the Japanese economy, as well as the intensification of competition with the start of a fourth commercial station, growth in revenue slowed in the middle of the decade.[1]: 48  However, in 1978, revenue was worth 3,248 billion yen, an 11,7% increase, surpassing 3 billion yen.[1]: 50  News gathering information abroad started in 1979 with dispatching of teams to Hawaii and Sichuan Province.[1]: 50 

Equipment was upgraded on October 27, 1983[1]: 165  and sound multiplex broadcasts start on November 14, 1985, the first full ANN affiliate to do so.[1]: 165  The station introduced its new corporate identity on April 1, 1986. Along with it, the main abbreviation changed to HOME.[1]: 58 

The station's mascot, Polpol (ぽるぽる), was created upon the station's 30th anniversary celebrations in 2000, tie-in merchandise was also released. The character is a yellow, pudgy character with a cute face. [2] Digital terrestrial broadcasts commenced on October 1, 2006; analog terrestrial broadcasts concluded on 24 July 2011.

There are rumors of this Japanese channel joining Freeview, Could that be why Shop! is closing, It no longer broadcasts on other platforms and ever since Littlewoods pulled out of the venture in 2002, Granada Sky Broadcasting have been running it like Bid TV, but kind of dodgy. and sometimes orders get suddenly cancelled with no refund. but anyways today it appears a mega sale is happening, and GSB put the channel under review quite recently anyway

Forum Thread: Shop! The Value Channel – Firesale on Freeview? Closing Down?

User1 (May 23, 2005, 10:15 AM):
Has anyone else noticed that Shop! The Value Channel on Freeview seems to have started some kind of huge "firesale"? It’s like everything must go. Could this mean the channel is shutting down soon? It’s weird because it’s no longer broadcasting on Sky or cable platforms as far as I know.

User2 (May 23, 2005, 10:38 AM):
Yeah, I spotted that too. The “mega sale” is out of the blue. Makes me think GSB is trying to clear inventory before pulling the plug. I remember they put a bunch of channels under review recently — Shop! was definitely one of them.

User3 (May 23, 2005, 11:05 AM):
I read somewhere that GSB has been running Shop! more or less like Bid TV ever since Littlewoods left back in 2002. Some shady stuff has gone down too — like orders getting canceled at the last minute with no refunds. Nothing like a proper shopping channel.

User4 (May 23, 2005, 11:25 AM):
It wouldn’t surprise me if this channel is closing. Freeview is trying to get more variety and I’ve heard rumours that a Japanese channel might be coming to Freeview soon. Could that be related? Maybe GSB needs to clear the slot for this new channel.

User5 (May 23, 2005, 11:50 AM):
Interesting theory... Shop! hasn’t been big on other platforms for a while. If the channel’s only really left is Freeview and sales have been dodgy, GSB probably doesn’t see the point in keeping it going. The firesale looks like a last-ditch effort to make something before closing.

User6 (May 23, 2005, 12:10 PM):
I wonder how long the firesale will last? If the channel is ending, it would be nice if GSB made an official announcement. They’ve been pretty quiet about these things lately.

User1 (May 23, 2005, 12:30 PM):
Agreed — silent treatment isn’t helping. Meanwhile, I’m watching the sales hoping to snag a bargain, but still wary about placing orders!

Forum Thread: What’s Going On With Shop! The Value Channel? And That New Japanese Channel Rumor

UserA (May 24, 2005, 9:00 AM):
So here’s a quick recap in case anyone missed it — Shop! The Value Channel has been under review by Granada Sky Broadcasting for a while now. I think the official announcements came around March, when it was confirmed that several channels were being looked at because of low ratings and changes in strategy. Shop! was one of them, along with Granada Breeze, Wellbeing, and Carlton Cinema.

UserB (May 24, 2005, 9:20 AM):
Yeah, I’ve been following that too. Shop! stopped broadcasting on Sky and cable last year, right? So the only place left was Freeview. And now with this sudden firesale airing on Freeview, people are pretty sure it’s a sign the channel is winding down, or at least rethinking its future.

UserC (May 24, 2005, 9:45 AM):
I heard that since Littlewoods backed out of the joint venture back in 2002, Shop! hasn’t really been doing well. GSB apparently started running it more like one of those late-night bargain channels, but with lots of complaints about dodgy order cancellations and no refunds. Not a great look for loyal shoppers.

UserA (May 24, 2005, 10:10 AM):
Exactly, and the review initiated by GSB after the ITV plc merger is about streamlining their channel lineup, focusing on the stronger brands like ITV4, upcoming CITV, and the core ITV channels. So something niche like Shop! The Value Channel probably doesn’t fit their new strategy anymore.

UserD (May 24, 2005, 10:30 AM):
The interesting twist is the rumor about a Japanese channel launching on Freeview soon. I’ve seen whispers on other forums saying that Hiroshima Home TV — a broadcaster with a long history — is in talks to launch a cultural and lifestyle channel on Freeview.

UserB (May 24, 2005, 10:50 AM):
That could explain why Shop! seems to be clearing shop for good on Freeview — maybe GSB or Freeview are making room for this Japanese channel to enter the UK market. Considering GSB runs a joint venture with Sky and ITV, maybe they’re partnering up with overseas broadcasters for fresh content.

UserC (May 24, 2005, 11:15 AM):
If Hiroshima Home TV or some similar Japanese station launches here, that’d be quite a coup for Freeview. A chance to diversify their offerings with international programming. Makes sense to replace underperforming shopping channels with something unique.

UserA (May 24, 2005, 11:40 AM):
In any case, for anyone still watching Shop! on Freeview, it might be time to keep an eye out for official shutdown notices. The firesale might be your last chance to grab deals, but I wouldn’t hold my breath on it sticking around much longer.

UserD (May 24, 2005, 12:00 PM):
Definitely. This kind of lineup reshuffle is typical when broadcasters rethink their digital strategy — cut the weak, make room for new content. We’ll see some interesting changes later this year, that’s for sure.

UserB (May 24, 2005, 12:30 PM):
Thanks for the update all! Can’t wait to see what the new Japanese channel brings. Hope it’s something fresh and well-produced.

UserC (May 24, 2005, 12:45 PM):
Agreed! New channels mean new choices, and that’s always a good thing for viewers.

Alright everyone, it’s official now. Granada Sky Broadcasting has confirmed that Shop! The Value Channel is closing down. The current firesale has been rebranded as a “Going Out of Business Sale,” and it’s set to last until either all stock is sold out or July 1, whichever comes first.

UserB (June 10, 2005, 9:25 AM):
Thanks for the heads-up! So that explains the mega discount madness on Freeview lately. Makes sense they want to clear everything before shutting down the channel completely.

UserC (June 10, 2005, 9:50 AM):
It’s a shame, but after years of poor viewership and sketchy order problems, I guess it was inevitable. Anyone know if there’s any official transition announcements regarding replacement channels on Freeview?

UserA (June 10, 2005, 10:10 AM):
The rumor mill’s been turning — the Japanese lifestyle and cultural channel (likely Hiroshima Home TV or similar) is confirmed to launch on Freeview later this year. That would be the slot freed up by Shop!’s closure.

UserD (June 10, 2005, 10:40 AM):
From a business perspective, GSB is probably better off focusing on ITV4, CITV, and a streamlined portfolio anyway. Niche shopping channels just don’t perform well anymore, especially with online shopping gaining ground.

UserB (June 10, 2005, 11:00 AM):
True. Well, for anyone interested — jump on the sales while they last! Hopefully all orders go through smoothly this time without cancellations or refund issues.

UserC (June 10, 2005, 11:20 AM):
Agreed! It’s bittersweet, but new channels and better programming options sound promising. Thanks for the update!

User1 (June 18, 2005, 9:15 AM):
Hey all, just wondering how the Shop! “Going Out of Business” sale is going so far. Has it looked like they’re clearing out most of the stock quickly or do you think everything will still be there by July 1? Does anyone think they might extend or cut it short?

User2 (June 18, 2005, 9:40 AM):
Great question. I’ve been tuning into Freeview here and there, and it seems like the sale’s busy but not exactly flying off the shelves like crazy. Some items still appear available. I’d guess they will at least go full term to July 1 unless something big sells out suddenly.

User3 (June 18, 2005, 10:05 AM):
I agree with User2. The inventory looks steady—not sure if all sales are legit either with the history of order cancellations. But GSB probably wants to clear as much as they can before shutting down rather than shutting early. July 1 is probably still the planned shutdown date.

User4 (June 18, 2005, 10:30 AM):
I placed a few orders last week and everything went through fine this time, so it seems like they’re cleaning up the process. If that continues, maybe they can sell out faster, but the sale promo is pretty aggressive so I expect it to last the full period.

User1 (June 18, 2005, 11:00 AM):
Thanks for the insights folks! I was worried they might suddenly close early without notice like some other channels have done, but sounds like July 1 is the firm deadline for now.

Hopefully the channel stays on air until then. After July 1, we can finally see what this Hiroshima Home TV channel is like. Sounds like a refreshing change!

Absolutely, looking forward to it myself. Until then, I’m keeping an eye on bargains on Shop! just in case.

Has anyone noticed the Freeview EPG slot that used to be Shop! The Value Channel? The name’s been changed — I saw it’s now listed as “HOME TV” or something similar. Also, there’s a new MHEG caption on screen when you tune in. Cute little animated mascot or something?

User2 (July 7, 2005, 9:35 AM):
Yeah, I saw that last night. It definitely feels like the Hiroshima Home TV channel slot is gearing up to go live. The MHEG caption has this cheerful yellow character waving at you — reminds me of that Polpol mascot from the Japanese station’s promo materials.

User3 (July 7, 2005, 10:00 AM):
Just checked myself. The EPG title change definitely confirms the transition. The MHEG caption has some basic info about the upcoming launch with a countdown timer too. Looks very polished for a pre-launch screen.

User4 (July 7, 2005, 10:25 AM):
Love the little mascot! It’s a nice touch after the dull shopping channel era. Feels like something fresh and family-friendly is finally coming to Freeview.

User1 (July 7, 2005, 10:50 AM):
Agreed — it’s quite a contrast. Curious to see if they’ll keep this style after the full launch or switch to more formal branding. Either way, it’s heartening to see the slot getting some attention.

User2 (July 7, 2005, 11:15 AM):
Maybe this is just the beginning of a steady rollout. I’m excited to sample some Japanese lifestyle and culture programming. Freeview definitely needed a bit more international flavor.

Hey everyone, just noticed that the Freeview EPG listing has been updated again. The channel is now called “Hiroshima Home TV/JOGM-TV”. Really nice to see the callsign included alongside the name!

User2 (July 10, 2005, 9:25 AM):
Yeah, I spotted that too! It’s a bit unusual to see the callsign on the EPG, but it feels very official. Gives it that authentic broadcaster vibe, kind of like old school terrestrial channels.

User3 (July 10, 2005, 9:50 AM):
Agreed! Most digital channels just use a brand name, not callsigns. Including JOGM-TV definitely highlights its Japanese identity, which is cool. Feels like a proper launch is really around the corner now.

User4 (July 10, 2005, 10:10 AM):
I like that they’re embracing the Japanese heritage here. It adds character and even a bit of nostalgia for viewers who know about these broadcasting traditions.

User1 (July 10, 2005, 10:35 AM):
Does anyone know if the MHEG caption is still there too? Or has that been replaced now that the channel name is finalized in the EPG?

User2 (July 10, 2005, 11:00 AM):
Last night I checked and the MHEG screen was still up, showing some info about upcoming programming and a soft launch notice. So they’re probably keeping it as a teaser until the official start date.

User3 (July 10, 2005, 11:20 AM):
Makes sense to me. Slowly building some anticipation before launching fully. Looking forward to seeing what kind of shows they bring.

Yeah, Boots was involved in Wellbeing originally, but the channel has been pretty quiet and low profile for ages. If GSB is focusing on stronger brands like ITV4 and CITV, I wouldn’t be surprised if Wellbeing is on the chopping block next.

User4 (July 12, 2005, 9:45 AM):
It makes sense. Between declining viewer numbers and changing digital TV tastes, niche lifestyle channels like Wellbeing could be vulnerable. Plus, Boots probably didn’t see much benefit from it either.

User1 (July 12, 2005, 10:10 AM):
True. They might consider rebranding, merging with another channel, or just closing it altogether. Wonder if Granada Breeze could be in the firing line too?

User2 (July 12, 2005, 10:35 AM):
Granada Breeze has never been a ratings powerhouse either, so yeah, both Breeze and Wellbeing might be on thin ice. GSB’s been pretty clear they want a tighter, stronger lineup.

User3 (July 12, 2005, 11:00 AM):
I’m curious if ITV News channel is still safe too, considering ITN wants to focus on ITV1 bulletins. GSB seems to have a lot to sort out.

User4 (July 12, 2005, 11:25 AM):
No doubt. GSB’s next moves could reshape multichannel TV in the UK quite a bit. Anyone else think they might announce more changes soon?

User1 (July 12, 2005, 11:50 AM):
I wouldn’t be surprised. With digital competition heating up, the review process must be gathering momentum. Wellbeing could be the next domino to fall.

User2 (July 12, 2005, 12:10 PM):
Agreed. Guess we’ll all have to wait and watch. Would be interesting to see how Boots reacts if their joint venture is pulled.

User3 (July 12, 2005, 12:30 PM):
Exactly. Either way, time for GSB to focus on channels with real growth potential.

Yomiuri Telecasting Company: Background to the launch
In 1953 , prior to its launch in Tokyo, Nippon Television Network Corporation (hereafter referred to as "NTV") submitted an application for a broadcasting license in Osaka to the Radio Regulatory Commission . However, at the time, there were only two radio waves allocated to the Osaka area, and licenses were given to two stations, NHK Osaka Broadcasting Station and Osaka Television Broadcasting (OTV, now Asahi Television Broadcasting Corporation ), and the license for "NTV Osaka Broadcasting Station" was rejected.

The reason for the rejection was that "Nippon Television represents the Tokyo area, and broadcasting in Osaka would be 'crossing borders.'" [ note 2 ] Matsutaro Shoriki , head of the Yomiuri Shimbun and Nippon Television , applied to the Radio Regulatory Commission to establish regional broadcasting stations in Sapporo , Nagoya , and Fukuoka in addition to Osaka, but this was also rejected for the same reason . [ note 3 ]

At that time, the Yomiuri Shimbun had expanded into Osaka, and was competing fiercely with the Asahi Shimbun , the Mainichi Shimbun , and others in sales. Since Osaka Television Broadcasting was a television station established by the Asahi Shimbun, the Mainichi Shimbun, and the Asahi Broadcasting Corporation and New Japan Broadcasting (now the Mainichi Broadcasting System), Tsutomu Mitsuo , the president of the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun (now the Yomiuri Shimbun Osaka Headquarters) at the time , was convinced that "in order to increase circulation against the two newspapers, we need to have our own affiliated television station," and the Yomiuri Shimbun also decided to create a television station with investment from the Kansai business community, centered around the Osaka Yomiuri Shimbun. Tsutomu was the representative promoter and gathered promoters from the business community.

The name of the broadcasting station was " Shin -Osaka Television Broadcasting Co., Ltd. " (abbreviated as NOTV = New Osaka Television . It was called " No-Tele "), and the founding general meeting was held in February 1957. The company building was constructed by borrowing most of the grounds of the Tenman Betsuin temple of the Otani-ha Shinshu sect in Iwai-cho , Kita-ku, Osaka (now Higashi-Tenma ) .

In October 1956, they submitted an application for a broadcasting license to the Minister of Posts and Telecommunications. In October 1957, a provisional license was issued to Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting as a quasi-educational station (Channel 10, JOIX-TV). The company held its founding general meeting on February 12, 1958, and on August 1 of the same year, the company changed its name from "Shin-Osaka Television Broadcasting" to "Yomiuri Telecasting Co., Ltd." (abbreviated as YTV, nicknamed Yomiuri Television). On the 28th of the same month , it opened as the second commercial television station in the Kinki region, completely transferring all of the Nippon Television programs that had been networked with OTV.

The opening of Yomiuri Television resolved the dissatisfaction of sponsors of Nippon Television Network Corporation's programs, which had not been broadcast in the Kinki region due to OTV's cross-network policy. [ Note 4 ] This also contributed greatly to the increase in circulation of the Yomiuri Shimbun in western Japan .

Among the commercial television stations headquartered in Osaka (Osaka-based television stations), it is the only one that does not have capital from a Kansai private railway , and its capital is composed of Yomiuri Shimbun Group and Nomura Securities affiliates . [ Note 5 ]

Forum Thread: Yomiuri Telecasting’s UK Freeview Launch Set for August 20 — Thoughts?

User1 (August 3, 2005, 10:00 AM):
Just heard that Yomiuri Telecasting will finally launch on UK Freeview starting August 20! Excited to see a genuine slice of Japanese programming coming to our screens. Anyone know much about their lineup?

User2 (August 3, 2005, 10:20 AM):
Yeah, can’t wait! It sounds like it’ll feature some great lifestyle and cultural shows. The timing fits perfectly too, just after the Shop! channel closed.

User3 (August 3, 2005, 10:45 AM):
I’m guessing the channel slot freed up by Shop! The Value Channel is the one being used for this launch. So that’s probably the channel that’s being sacrificed.

User4 (August 3, 2005, 11:10 AM):
That makes sense. Shop! was struggling and going out of business anyway. GSB needed to repurpose those slots, and Yomiuri Telecasting seems a perfect replacement.

User5 (August 3, 2005, 11:35 AM):
Anyone know if the broadcast will have English subtitles or if it’ll be mostly in Japanese?

User2 (August 3, 2005, 12:00 PM):
From what I’ve read, some programs will have subtitles, but a lot will be aimed at the niche market interested in authentic Japanese content, so language might be mostly original. Still cool to have access though.

User1 (August 3, 2005, 12:30 PM):
It’ll definitely shake up Freeview’s line-up. Looking forward to seeing how it goes!

User3 (August 3, 2005, 12:45 PM):
Agreed — new content is always welcome! Here’s hoping it draws good ratings.

Forum Thread: Yomiuri Telecasting Launch on Freeview — But Shop! Was Already Replaced by Hiroshima Home TV?

User1 (August 3, 2005, 1:00 PM):
Just to clarify, Shop! The Value Channel was actually replaced a few weeks back by Hiroshima Home TV on Freeview. So the slot for Yomiuri Telecasting won’t be the same one.

User2 (August 3, 2005, 1:20 PM):
Yeah, that’s right. Hiroshima Home TV has taken over the Shop! slot since mid-July. So the new Yomiuri Telecasting channel must be coming in on a different Freeview slot.

User3 (August 3, 2005, 1:45 PM):
Makes you wonder which existing channel they’re going to sacrifice for this. GSB has quite a few underperforming channels — maybe it’s Granada Breeze or Wellbeing?

User4 (August 3, 2005, 2:10 PM):
My money’s on Wellbeing. It’s been a quiet joint venture with Boots and never really caught on. Seems like the obvious candidate to be replaced next after Shop!

User5 (August 3, 2005, 2:30 PM):
I agree with User4. Wellbeing has been struggling and there hasn’t been much news about it lately. A fresh new Japanese channel might finally push it off the lineup.

User1 (August 3, 2005, 2:50 PM):
Hopefully GSB will make an official announcement soon. It’d be good to know which channel is making way for Yomiuri Telecasting instead of guessing.

User2 (August 3, 2005, 3:15 PM):
Fingers crossed it’s a smooth transition. The viewers deserve better than these constant shuffles without info.

Agreed. Can’t wait to see the new content, but would also like to hear what happens to the other GSB channels.

User1 (August 15, 2005, 10:30 AM):
Did anyone catch the final hours of Wellbeing yesterday? All day they kept running that caption between shows saying, "The Wellbeing TV channel closes at midnight, Thanks for watching." Felt like a proper goodbye for once.

User2 (August 15, 2005, 10:50 AM):
Yeah, I was watching sporadically. At midnight they played the clean Wellbeing ident, then froze the frame for a few seconds before cutting to black. It was very understated but kind of respectful.

User3 (August 15, 2005, 11:10 AM):
Right after that, the MHEG screen came on with the message, “Wellbeing has now closed.” Nice to see them use MHEG to officially notify viewers instead of just switching off abruptly.

User4 (August 15, 2005, 11:30 AM):
I appreciated that too. After some of the messy closures like Shop!, this was a well-handled sign-off. Felt professional and gave closure.

User1 (August 15, 2005, 11:45 AM):
Totally. I’m curious whether Yomiuri Telecasting will start immediately or if there’ll be a gap on the Freeview slot.

User2 (August 15, 2005, 12:05 PM):
From what I’ve heard, Yomiuri Telecasting is scheduled to launch on August 20, so the slot will be dark for a few days.

Makes sense to have a short break to do final technical adjustments. Looking forward to the new channel though — fresh content is always welcome.

Hey folks, just noticed the Freeview EPG slot that used to be Wellbeing is now labeled “Yomiuri Television/JOIX-TV.” Also, when you tune in, there’s a colorful image now displayed instead of a blank screen or just MHEG text. Looks like things are gearing up nicely!

User2 (August 18, 2005, 9:35 AM):
I saw that too! The image looks like a scenic view or something representing Japanese culture. Definitely a step up from the old Wellbeing placeholder. They’re really making this launch feel official.

User3 (August 18, 2005, 10:00 AM):
Nice to see the callsign JOIX-TV included in the EPG as well, similar to Hiroshima Home’s JOGM-TV. Gives it a proper broadcaster feel. Feels like Yomiuri Television is almost ready to go live.

User4 (August 18, 2005, 10:25 AM):
For a station with such a long history back in Japan, it’s great to see them honoring their identity here. Excited to actually catch some of their content soon!

Anyone know if the MHEG caption is still up or has it been replaced by this image? I tuned in but wasn’t sure what to make of it.

User2 (August 18, 2005, 11:10 AM):
I caught it too — the image is displayed alongside a simple MHEG text with some info about the upcoming launch and a countdown. So they’re keeping viewers informed while teasing what’s to come.

User3 (August 18, 2005, 11:35 AM):
Sound like a smart move. Keeps interest alive and builds anticipation on Freeview ahead of August 20.

Just wanted to add — the character next to the Yomiuri Television logo on the image is really charming! It looks like a cute blue TV set with big friendly eyes and a bright yellow screen. Kind of retro but also playful, really gives the channel some personality. Reminds me of classic Japanese mascots, like they’ve designed it to be approachable and fun for all ages. Definitely a nice touch!

Granada Sky Broadcasting Confirms Ongoing Channel Portfolio Review – ITV News Channel Likely Next Focus

London – Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB) today reaffirmed its commitment to strategically evaluating its suite of television channels as part of an ongoing review following the consolidation of ITV plc. Having already made significant changes to its portfolio with the closure of Shop! The Value Channel and Wellbeing, GSB confirms that the review process continues as it seeks to optimize its offerings for viewers and advertising partners alike.

A GSB spokesperson said:
“We have taken decisive steps with the successful closure and replacement of channels such as Shop! The Value Channel and Wellbeing, demonstrating our dedication to maintaining a strong, focused lineup. However, our work is far from over. The review remains ongoing to ensure that each channel aligns with our strategic objectives and delivers value across our audience base.”

Industry insight and internal considerations point to the ITV News Channel as the next channel under close scrutiny. With ITN increasingly concentrating resources on delivering core news bulletins for ITV1, GSB is working carefully alongside partners to assess the future viability and strategic fit of a dedicated 24-hour news channel within the portfolio.

The spokesperson added:
“We continue to engage in detailed discussions with ITN and other stakeholders as we explore the best approach to news delivery across our platforms. Our priority is to offer high-quality content to audiences while ensuring sustainable commercial performance.”

GSB remains focused on strengthening channels that resonate strongly with viewers—including the recently launched Hiroshima Home TV and the soon-to-launch Yomiuri Telecasting channel—while repositioning or consolidating others where appropriate.

Further updates on channel portfolio decisions will be communicated in due course as the review progresses.

Write a conversation asking if the JP services are simulcasts or specialized UK feeds

Forum Thread: Are the Japanese Channels on Freeview Simulcasts or Specialized UK Feeds?

User1 (August 26, 2005, 9:00 AM):
Hey everyone, with Hiroshima Home TV and Yomiuri Telecasting launching here on Freeview, does anyone know if these channels are just simulcasting what airs in Japan, or are they offering special UK-specific feeds with tailored programming?

User2 (August 26, 2005, 9:25 AM):
Good question! I’ve been wondering the same. It would make sense for them to create specialized feeds to cater to UK viewers, maybe with English subtitles or localized scheduling, but I haven’t seen any official info.

User3 (August 26, 2005, 9:50 AM):
From what I’ve read, Hiroshima Home TV’s Freeview feed includes a mix of simulcast content and some curated programs likely selected for UK audiences. Not sure about Yomiuri yet, but suspect it’ll be similar.

User4 (August 26, 2005, 10:15 AM):
Yeah, pure simulcasts might be tough due to time zones and content rights. Having a specialized UK feed allows them to schedule shows at better viewing times and maybe add subtitles.

User5 (August 26, 2005, 10:40 AM):
I caught a bit of Hiroshima Home TV yesterday and noticed some English captions on a few programs. So at least some effort is being made to localize the content.

User1 (August 26, 2005, 11:00 AM):
Thanks for the insights, folks. It’s great they’re considering UK viewers’ needs rather than just rebroadcasting everything directly from Japan. Looking forward to seeing what Yomiuri Telecasting does.

User2 (August 26, 2005, 11:20 AM):
Same here. Hopefully both channels continue expanding their localized content to attract a wider audience here.

Write a reply confirming what YTV does

User6 (August 26, 2005, 11:45 AM):
I can confirm that Yomiuri Telecasting’s Freeview service is a specially curated UK feed rather than a straight simulcast. They select and schedule programming specifically for the UK audience, adjusting broadcast times accordingly and including English subtitles on many shows. This approach helps make the content more accessible and enjoyable for viewers here, balancing authentic Japanese culture with viewer convenience. It’s definitely not just a direct rebroadcast of their Japan schedule.

User7 (August 26, 2005, 12:10 PM):
From what I’ve heard, Yomiuri Telecasting’s UK feed actually runs off the playout server that was recently vacated by Wellbeing after it shut down. Makes sense from an operational standpoint, reusing existing infrastructure to get the new channel up and running quickly. Clever move by GSB to keep costs down while launching fresh content!

Okay, so from what I’m gathering, the UK feeds of Hiroshima Home TV and Yomiuri Telecasting aren’t actually operated by the Japanese companies themselves but are managed by Granada Sky Broadcasting under license to use their names and programming. Is that right?

User2 (August 26, 2005, 1:25 PM):
Yeah, that’s my understanding too. GSB handles the playout, scheduling, and localization here in the UK, while licensing content and branding from the original Japanese broadcasters. It’s a common setup for international channels wanting a presence in foreign markets without having to build full operations overseas.

User3 (August 26, 2005, 1:50 PM):
Makes sense. That way, GSB can tailor programming for UK viewers, add subtitles, and manage advertising or compliance with UK regulations, while the Japanese companies provide the bulk of the content. Win-win for both parties.

User4 (August 26, 2005, 2:10 PM):
Exactly. Plus, it explains why they reuse existing GSB infrastructure like the playout servers. It’s more cost-effective than having the Japanese companies run everything remotely.

User1 (August 26, 2005, 2:30 PM):
Thanks, everyone! That clears it up. I’m actually impressed by how seamless it seems, considering it’s essentially a licensed partnership rather than the broadcasters doing everything themselves.

User5 (August 26, 2005, 2:45 PM):
Same here. Hopefully it means we’ll get more interesting international channels like this in the future, using similar models.

Thread: Channel closures to make room for Paramount Comedy, Nick, MTV Hits & CITV?
Date: 29 November 2005

User: DigiDave
Hey all, been hearing rumours that four “non-important” channels are expected to close on Freeview soon to clear space for some new ones — Paramount Comedy, Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and CITV. Anyone got any guesses which channels might be cut? I’m thinking maybe some of the COM4 or PSB2 slots, but which ones?

User: TVBuff1985
@DigiDave
That jives with what I’ve been hearing too! It’s gotta be channels that aren’t pulling strong numbers or strategic value. Off the top of my head, I’d put my money on Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel.

Here’s why: ITV have been cutting the ITV News Channel’s budget almost relentlessly. Staff headcount has been dropping steadily, and they’ve recently slashed its broadcast hours to 6am–6pm only, letting ITV4 take over the rest of the time. Seems like a classic sign that they’re phasing it out.

As for Carlton Cinema, since the ITV merger with Granada and with Carlton Cinema now under Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB), they haven't really promoted it. It’s basically been left on autopilot for ages. I imagine it’s a low priority for them compared to their other channels.

Both those seem the likeliest candidates to make way for bigger hitters like MTV Hits and Nickelodeon.

User: FreeviewFan101
Totally agree about ITV News Channel. Less airtime, sake of redirecting funding elsewhere on ITV1 really points towards its eventual closure or removal from Freeview. Carlton Cinema also seems a logical choice, hardly advertise it anymore.

I’d be surprised if other channels like Quiz Call or Bid TV get cut; they bring in easy revenue, even if the content is rubbish.

User: ChannelChaser
Don’t forget that Freeview bandwidth is limited, and PSB multiplexes are reserved mostly for PSB content. Most of the channels mentioned for closure are on COM4 and PSB2, so this move would be about reshuffling COM multiplexes mainly.

New kids like Paramount Comedy and MTV Hits are geared toward younger audiences, so I can see them taking over some COM4 or COM6 slots currently held by underperforming channels.

User: DigiDave
Great points, guys! So likely candidates to go:

Carlton Cinema (COM4, under GSB and low priority)
ITV News Channel (COM4, budget cuts and hours slashed)
Possibly a couple of other minor COM4/COM6 channels with low viewership — maybe that bad movies channel or a shopping channel?
User: TVBuff1985
Could be. Shopping channels like Price-drop TV or Bid TV tend to stick around as revenue generators. But some of the smaller niche or “bad movies” channels have weaker draws and might be squeezed out. They could also shuffle some of the less subscribed music or specialty channels.

But definitely keep an eye on Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel — my bets on them closing!

User: FreeviewFan101
Thanks for the insight! Looks like the Freeview lineup is going to change pretty soon — might actually be good to get these new bigger kids on the block. Nickelodeon and CITV will be a welcome addition for kids.

User: ChannelChaser
Exactly. It’s how Freeview evolves — out with the old, in with the new! Though sad to see some channels go, it’s all about making room for bigger content.

Summary:

Confirmed speculation: 4 less-essential channels to be removed to allow Paramount Comedy, Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and CITV to launch on Freeview.
User consensus: Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel are the most likely to close due to lack of investment, reduced hours, and low priority after corporate reshuffling.
Other minor COM4/COM6 channels with low viewership may also go, but shopping channels likely to remain due to revenue.
Hope that helps sketch out the likely upcoming Freeview changes!

Forum: Freeview Fanatics
Thread: Channel closures confirmed – Carlton Cinema & ITV News Channel gone!
Date: 6 December 2005

User: DigiDave
Hey all, just wanted to post an update following the recent changes on Freeview.

So here’s the official rundown: Paramount Comedy has replaced Carlton Cinema (COM4), and CITV has taken over the slot previously held by ITV News Channel (COM4). Both closures were expected given the buzzing rumours, and now it’s confirmed.

Along with those, the other two channels that have closed to make room for Nickelodeon and MTV Hits are Bad Movies (COM4) and That's TV (UK) (COM6).

User: TVBuff1985
Cheers for the confirmation, @DigiDave! As many of us suspected, Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel are finally gone after years of neglect and cutbacks. I think ITV News Channel going dark on Freeview marks a significant change — no more round-the-clock rolling news on Freeview from ITV itself.

Bad Movies was always a niche channel and seemed like an easy candidate to clear out. That’s a bummer for some, but it was never mainstream.

As for That’s TV (UK) closing on COM6, that was a bit of a surprise but makes sense if they needed a slot to squeeze Nickelodeon in.

User: FreeviewFan101
I’ve noticed Paramount Comedy is much livelier than Carlton Cinema was — actual promos and fresh programmes! CITV is a nice addition for the kids, too.

Bit sad to lose ITV News Channel, but with GB News and Sky News still around, I guess the space had to be given up.

Bad Movies and That’s TV weren’t much on my radar, so little loss there.

User: ChannelChaser
This reshuffling shows how competitive Freeview slots are! Paramount and Nickelodeon are big brands and should bring solid viewing figures.

ITV’s decision to focus news content into main ITV1 and digital satellite/cable platforms appears to be reflected in them pulling out from Freeview news.

User: DigiDave
Totally agree. Freeview’s evolving fast with more popular and frequently watched channels taking precedence. Here’s the final list of the 4 channels closed to make room for the newcomers:

Carlton Cinema (replaced by Paramount Comedy, COM4)
ITV News Channel (replaced by CITV, COM4)
Bad Movies (replaced by Nickelodeon, COM4)
That’s TV (UK) (replaced by MTV Hits, COM6)
User: TVBuff1985
Thanks for summarizing! Looks like Freeview’s music and kids’ offerings just got a great boost.

Summary:
Confirmed closures:

Carlton Cinema (COM4)
ITV News Channel (COM4)
Bad Movies (COM4)
That’s TV (UK) (COM6)
Replacements:

Paramount Comedy (COM4) replaces Carlton Cinema
CITV (COM4) replaces ITV News Channel
Nickelodeon (COM4) replaces Bad Movies
MTV Hits (COM6) replaces That’s TV (UK)
The lineup change has been welcomed overall, with the new channels expected to attract larger and more diverse audiences.

Looking forward to hearing what you think about the new lineup!

Write a reply saying actually the 4 Viacom services don't start till Jan 23, CITV not till March, ITV will be closing News on the 23rd and Carlton on the 31st, Bad Movies and That's will close sometime this month

User: TVBuff1985
Hey everyone, just to clarify a couple of things about the upcoming changes:

The four Viacom services — Paramount Comedy, Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and also That’s TV replacements — aren't actually launching until January 23rd, 2006. So even though Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel are closing soon, the new channels won’t be there straight away.

Also, CITV’s launch is scheduled for March 2006, so it’s a bit later than the others.

Regarding the closures:

ITV News Channel will be closing on December 23rd, not immediately.
Carlton Cinema is set to close on December 31st.
Bad Movies and That’s TV (UK) are expected to close sometime this month (December), but exact dates haven’t been confirmed yet.
So there will be a short gap on Freeview where those particular slots are empty before the Viacom channels and CITV take over. Thought I’d post this just so people aren’t caught off guard expecting the new channels straight away.

Cheers! Write a conversation saying it was kind of inevitable, considering GSB's "hitlist" this year, Incidentally there is a post on their website at gsb.co.uk about this year

Forum Thread: Was It Really Inevitable? GSB's Channel Closures This Year

User1 (December 27, 2005, 9:15 AM):
Honestly, with all the hints and announcements over the past year, the closure of Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel felt kind of inevitable. GSB’s “hitlist” has been pretty clear since early 2005 — they’ve been trimming their portfolio aggressively.

User2 (December 27, 2005, 9:45 AM):
Absolutely. They started with Shop! The Value Channel and Wellbeing, then moved on to review Granada Breeze and Carlton Cinema. ITV News Channel's budget cuts and shrinking airtime pretty much confirmed it was next. You could sense the strategic shift toward stronger, more focused channels.

User3 (December 27, 2005, 10:10 AM):
Right — and GSB seemed to emphasize in various updates that they wanted to streamline and concentrate on channels with bigger audiences or better commercial prospects. Classic niche channels just didn’t make the cut.

User4 (December 27, 2005, 10:30 AM):
Incidentally, I saw a post on their official website, gsb.co.uk, from earlier this year that basically outlined these moves. They made a clear statement about their channel portfolio review and intentions to concentrate on stronger brands. It was all there in black and white.

User1 (December 27, 2005, 10:50 AM):
Makes a lot of sense, although it’s a shame to see some of these longtime channels go. But in the face of digital competition and changing viewer habits, evolution was necessary.

User2 (December 27, 2005, 11:20 AM):
True — better to have a tighter lineup that appeals to bigger audiences and advertisers than spread thin across many underperformers. Looking forward to seeing how Paramount, Nickelodeon, MTV Hits, and CITV shake up the Freeview space next year!

User3 (December 27, 2005, 11:45 AM):
Definitely. Here’s hoping GSB keeps listening to viewers and picks quality content going forward.

User4 (December 27, 2005, 12:10 PM):
Couldn’t agree more. Change is inevitable, but it needs to be thoughtful.

Granada Sky Broadcasting: Reflecting on 2005 – A Year of Change and Opportunity

Published December 27, 2005 | by Granada Sky Broadcasting Team

As 2005 draws to a close, we at Granada Sky Broadcasting (GSB) want to take a moment to reflect on what has been a year of significant transformation for our company and for the broader television landscape in the UK.

A Year Marked by Strategic Review and Tough Decisions

The formation of ITV plc last year brought together two major UK broadcasters — Granada and Carlton — under one roof, creating an unparalleled opportunity to rethink and streamline our channel offerings. Throughout 2005, we have been conducting a comprehensive strategic review of our entire channel portfolio to ensure that we are best positioned to serve our viewers and advertising partners in an increasingly competitive and rapidly evolving market.

Making these decisions hasn’t been easy. We recognize that channels like Shop! The Value Channel, Wellbeing, Granada Breeze, Carlton Cinema, and ITV News Channel have had their loyal audiences and unique places in the multichannel TV space. However, in light of changing viewer habits, the rise of digital platforms, and the need for sustainable commercial performance, we have had to make some very difficult calls.

Channels That Said Goodbye

This year, we bid farewell to Shop! The Value Channel and Wellbeing — channels that, while niche and specialized, faced significant challenges in growing their audience and sustaining commercial momentum. Most recently, we have begun the transition away from Carlton Cinema and ITV News Channel to make way for exciting new channel launches.

Though we have closed these channels, we remain grateful to the viewers who have supported them over the years. We also ensured that those transitions happened thoughtfully and respectfully, maintaining service quality until the very end.

Welcoming Fresh Content and New Partnerships

In place of these closures, GSB is proud to have introduced vibrant new channels such as Hiroshima Home TV and Yomiuri Telecasting, which bring fresh cultural and lifestyle programming from Japan to UK viewers. Looking ahead to 2006, we eagerly anticipate welcoming top-tier kids’ entertainment through the launch of CITV, along with an enhanced offering of popular entertainment and music channels courtesy of new partnerships.

These developments underline GSB’s commitment to delivering diverse, engaging, and high-quality content that meets the tastes and expectations of modern viewers.

The Road Ahead

The broadcasting industry is changing faster than ever, and Granada Sky Broadcasting remains dedicated to agility, innovation, and audience-focused programming. Our ongoing review ensures we can adapt our portfolio to the evolving digital landscape while securing long-term value for viewers, advertisers, and our partners.

We sincerely thank all of you who have accompanied us through this transitional year. Your feedback and continued viewership inspire us to provide the best possible television experience.

Stay tuned for more exciting announcements and programming updates in 2006.

From all of us at GSB, we wish you a happy and prosperous New Year.

Write a conversation Jan 1 2006, ITV News ended with a retrospect show, then the following messsge by Alastair Stewart:

So that's the end of five years broadcasting as the ITV News Channel. Our thanks to all our contributors, studio and production staff, to all the reporters and correspondents and everyone who made the channel the professional and effective operation that it was. But most of all, you, our viewers. A big thank you to each and every one of you. We hope we both informed and occasionally entertained you over the years. It was our mission to bring you the fastest breaking news and the most comprehensive analysis. We hope that you'll think we succeeded. Carlton Cinema ended with the film Body Heat, Following the conclusion of that film, continuity announcer Fiona Goldman made the closing announcement:

Well, that was the last film on Carlton Cinema. It's been seven years since we first went to air and during that time, we've shown thousands of films. We hope you've enjoyed watching them as much as we've enjoyed showing them. So, from our director of programmes, George McKee, myself, Fiona Goldman, and all the team here at Carlton Cinema, it's been a great pleasure and thank you for having been with us. Now, all we have to do is pick up the popcorn and turn off the lights.

Then they aired a montage of scenes and quotes from all the films they showed, to the tune of Alice Faye's "You'll Never Know" which was regularly being shown on the channel during its final two weeks on the air. The farewell montage concluded with the last words ever heard on the channel:

Carlton Cinema thanks all our viewers for tuning in over the last seven years. We hope you've enjoyed watching the films as much as we've enjoyed bringing them to you.

The final image shown was a movie theatre screen curtain (one of the many icons of movie places during the Golden Age of Hollywood) closing, revealing (for the final time) the Carlton Cinema logo with the date of launch (15 November 1998) on the top and the date of closure (31 December 2005) on the bottom.[2] After a final fade to black, the channel's DOG was still seen for twenty more minutes. The channel's transmitters were finally shut down at midnight. A user says GSB did good here with the send offs

Forum Thread: ITV News Channel & Carlton Cinema Final Sign-Offs — GSB Did a Great Job!

User1 (January 1, 2006, 12:30 AM):
Wow, just watched the final moments of both ITV News Channel and Carlton Cinema last night. GSB really pulled out all the stops with those send-offs. The retrospective show on ITV News was thoughtful, and Alastair Stewart’s personal message was heartfelt. Felt like a proper goodbye.

User2 (January 1, 2006, 12:45 AM):
Absolutely agree. Alastair’s message conveyed real appreciation for the viewers and the team behind the scenes. Not the usual abrupt channel shutdown – it had class and dignity.

User3 (January 1, 2006, 1:10 AM):
And Carlton Cinema’s farewell was just gorgeous. Ending with Body Heat was pretty fitting for them. Fiona Goldman’s closing words were warm and sincere, and that montage set to You’ll Never Know…wow. So nostalgic and emotional, honestly brought a tear to my eye.

User4 (January 1, 2006, 1:35 AM):
Yeah, that montage was beautiful. Loved seeing clips and quotes from all those films they aired over the years, and the classic Hollywood curtain closing with the logo and dates was such a perfect touch. It felt like a real celebration of the channel’s history.

User1 (January 1, 2006, 2:00 AM):
Exactly. Too often channels just go off without warning or fanfare, but GSB treated these closures with respect. Fingers crossed the new channels launching bring the same level of professionalism and care.

User2 (January 1, 2006, 2:20 AM):
Well said! Thanks for sharing your thoughts here. I think GSB showed what a proper channel sign-off looks like.

User3 (January 1, 2006, 2:45 AM):
Couldn’t have put it better myself. A nice way to close a chapter in UK multichannel TV. Here’s to new beginnings!

End of thread.

CITV March 2006 Schedule

on March 11 2006, CITV offically launched as a channel, The new channel features content for kids of all ages.

The CITV channel's launch was pushed back to 11 March in February 2006. As a result of a "comprehensive" rebranding and problems with "clearing the digital rights to children's programming", it was again pushed back by another four weeks.[72]

Promotions for the channel began on 20 February, including an online countdown clock, running to the channel's launch date. As had become standard for Freeview channel launches, the channel was allocated an EPG number well before transmission started. Initially, a static 'coming soon' graphic was shown, followed by a preview video loop running from late February 2006 until the launch.[73]

The channel launched on 11 March 2006 at 9:25am, with a simulcast of Holly and Stephen's Saturday Showdown being the first programme to air following a countdown graphic.

“The idents feature everyday scenes from a child's world that are then transformed by CITV to something far more fun and extraordinary; sausage and mash come to life as a Mexican mariachi band, and a tea set becomes a steam train chugging around a tray.”

The logo is a navy blue triangle with a cream colored "C" in the middle, The logo is seen on a red background for older kids shows, and a light blue background for pre-school shows

Subject: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

Hey everyone! I just heard the news about the upcoming cartoon "Blobbit Adventures" that's set to air on CITV starting April 10, 2006! I can't believe it! A brand new kids' show animated by ITV Productions sounds amazing! I'm super excited to see how Blobbit, this pink slime that can take on all sorts of shapes, will bring fun and adventure to the screen.

What do you all think about this new show? Do you think it will be a hit like some of our classic favorites?

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

OMG, I saw the teaser, and it looks so fun! I love the idea of a character that can morph into different shapes. It reminds me a bit of "Morph," but way more colorful and playful! Also, I'm all in for shows that feature animals and nature. I think kids will really connect with Blobbit!

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

I’m cautiously optimistic. ITV has had some great hits in the past, but I hope they deliver something fresh and engaging. Sometimes kids' shows can feel repetitive, so fingers crossed that Blobbit has a unique charm. The concept sounds promising, though!

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

I love the idea of Blobbit hanging out with real rabbits! It sounds like a great way to teach kids about friendship and the animal world. Plus, I adore that “magical forest” vibe! It reminds me of shows like "Angelina Ballerina" and "My Little Pony," which are super cute and full of heart.

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

I hope it targets a good age range without being too childish or too mature. It’s essential for a kids' show to strike the right balance. But I’m interested to see how they develop Blobbit's character and her adventures! What kind of trouble do you think she'll get into?

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

Ah, I’m so excited! I think CITV really needed a new show to add some variety to their lineup. I mean, the other stuff is great, but we need fresh tales and characters that resonate with the kids today. Blobbit’s ability to shapeshift opens up so many possibilities for creative storytelling!

I think CITV is going in a good direction! I'm already picturing myself watching it with my little siblings. It’s going to be entertaining for families, plus it's great to see more original content coming to our screens. CAN’T WAIT until April 10!

I know, right?! The excitement is real! Let’s all plan a watch party for the premiere! It would be fun to celebrate this new addition to our favorite channel together. Who's in?

Re: Blobbit Adventures – A Fresh Addition to CITV!

Hey everyone! I did a little digging, and it turns out Blobbit Adventures won't have to compete with a lot of in-house productions, which is exciting! As of now, the only other current in-house shows being aired on CITV are "Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids," "My Parents Are Aliens," and, of course, "Holly and Stephen's Saturday Showdown."

It seems like there's a great opportunity for Blobbit to really stand out and carve its own niche, especially given the popularity of shows like Saturday Showdown. This also means we might see more original content coming from ITV, which is fantastic for us as viewers.

What do you all think? Is it a good move for CITV to focus on bringing in fresh shows like Blobbit Adventures, considering the limited in-house offerings right now? I'm really hoping it paves the way for even more creative programming! Title: “Blobbit Adventures”

Panel 1:
(Scene: A small, sleepy town’s park. Children are playing, and birds are singing. A gooey pink blob watches from behind a bush.)

Narrator: “In a quaint town in 2006, there was a mysterious, gooey pink blob who wanted to fit in.”

Panel 2:
(The pink blob stretches and forms rabbit ears and a fluffy tail. She takes a deep breath and hops out from behind the bush, now disguised as a rabbit.)

Blobbit (thinking): “Okay, Blobbit, you’ve got this. Just blend in.”

Panel 3:
(Blobbit hops towards a group of rabbits who are munching on some carrots.)

Blobbit: “Hi there! Mind if I join you?”

Rabbit 1: “Sure, the more the merrier!”

Rabbit 2 (whispering): “Something seems a bit off about that new rabbit…”

Panel 4:
(Blobbit awkwardly tries to eat a carrot, but her gooey texture makes it tricky. The carrot slips from her grip and gets stuck inside her blob-like body.)

Blobbit: “Oops!”

Narrator: “Despite her best efforts, Blobbit’s true nature was hard to hide.”

Panel 5:
(Scene shifts to Blobbit alone by a tree, looking a bit disappointed. A kind old tortoise notices and walks over.)

Tortoise: “Hello there, young one. Why the long face?”

Blobbit: “I just wanted to fit in, but I can’t seem to be like the other rabbits.”

Panel 6:
(The tortoise chuckles softly.)

Tortoise: “You don’t have to be like the others to belong. It’s your uniqueness that makes you special.”

Panel 7:
(Blobbit smiles gratefully at the tortoise’s words.)

Blobbit: “Thank you. Maybe being a little different isn’t so bad after all.”

Narrator: “And so, Blobbit continued her adventures, embracing her uniqueness.”

Panel 8:
(Credits scene: Blobbit surrounded by friends of various species, each with their own quirks. They all share a laugh together.)

Blobbit (hopping around): “Today feels like a good day for something new!”

Scene 2: Blobbit’s Discovery

(Blobbit sits down by a pond and starts playing with her gooey form, stretching her limbs and making funny shapes.)

Blobbit: “What else can I do with this gooey body of mine? Maybe I could try making bubbles!”

(She takes a deep breath and blows into her gooey form. A small bubble starts to form and then pops immediately.)

Blobbit (giggles): “That felt ticklish! Let’s try again.”

Scene 3: Perfecting the Bubbles

(Blobbit continues trying to blow bubbles, and soon she manages to blow a medium-sized bubble. It floats up and reflects the sunlight, shimmering with colors.)

Blobbit: “Wow! Look at that! It’s beautiful!”

(A group of rabbits notices Blobbit’s bubbles and hops over curiously.)

Rabbit 1: “Hey, Blobbit, what are you doing?”

Blobbit: “I just discovered that I can blow bubbles with my gooey form! Want to see?”

(The rabbits nod eagerly, and Blobbit blows another bubble, this one even bigger than the last.)

Rabbit 2: “That’s amazing! Can we try?”

Scene 4: Bubble Fun

(With Blobbit’s help, the rabbits start blowing bubbles too, using some gooey pieces Blobbit shares with them. Soon, the park is filled with colorful bubbles floating everywhere.)

Narrator: “Blobbit and her friends spent the afternoon laughing and playing with bubbles, each one more spectacular than the last.”

Scene 5: Trouble Arises

(Suddenly, a mischievous squirrel named Rocky swings by and sees the fun. He decides to cause some trouble.)

Rocky: “Hehe, I bet I can make the biggest bubble and show them all!”

(Rocky grabs a big chunk of Blobbit’s gooey form without asking and starts blowing. But the bubble gets too big and carries him into the air.)

Rocky: “Whaaaat! Help! I’m floating away!”

Scene 6: Rescue Mission

(Blobbit quickly thinks on her feet and stretches herself, creating a ladder-like shape for Rocky to climb down.)

Blobbit: “Quick, grab onto me, Rocky!”

(Rocky carefully climbs down the gooey ladder, and the giant bubble pops gently, bringing him safely back to the ground.)

Rocky: “Phew! Thanks, Blobbit. I guess I got a bit carried away.”

Scene 7: Lessons Learned

(Blobbit smiles and shakes her head gently.)

Blobbit: “It’s alright, Rocky. Just remember to ask next time, and maybe don’t take such a big chunk of goo!”

Narrator: “And so, Blobbit and her friends learned that sometimes new discoveries can lead to unexpected adventures. But with a little teamwork and kindness, they could solve any problem.”

Scene 8: The Day’s End

(As the sun sets, the group sits together, watching the remaining bubbles float away.)

Blobbit: “Today was really fun. I’m glad we could all enjoy it together.”

Rabbit 1: “Me too! Thanks for sharing your goo, Blobbit.”

Rabbit 2: “Yeah, and for saving Rocky!”

Narrator: “Blobbit’s bubble-blowing day had turned into a memorable experience for everyone. She realized that trying new things could lead to wonderful moments and even stronger friendships.”

Title: Discovering Blobbit’s Blobby Charm: A Detailed Look at Our Favorite Pink Sludge

Hello, Blobbit fans!

Today we’re diving deep into the gooey and wonderfully unique world of Blobbit from “Blobbit Adventures.” Whether you’re a long-time fan or just discovering this delightful character, let’s take a closer look at what makes Blobbit’s blobby form so charming and special!

Appearance

Blobbit, in her true form, is an adorable gooey pink blob. Her texture is smooth but stretchy, allowing her to bend and morph in various ways. Here’s what sets her apart:

Color:
Blobbit’s primary color is a vibrant, bubblegum pink. The shade is consistent throughout her form, giving her a delightful and eye-catching appearance that stands out in any environment.
Texture:
The texture of Blobbit’s body is gooey and somewhat gelatinous. This makes her incredibly flexible and capable of shaping herself into almost any form she desires. When she stretches or moves, slight ripples and waves can be seen traveling through her body, adding to her dynamic look.
Basic Shape:
In her most relaxed state, Blobbit resembles a small, rounded blob with no distinct limbs. This form is perfect for slipping into tight spaces or sneaking around unnoticed. However, she can extend parts of her body to form makeshift limbs when needed.
Expressive Features:
Despite lacking a traditional face, Blobbit can create expressions with subtle shifts in her form. When she’s happy or excited, she often forms small, temporary shapes that resemble smiling eyes or a cheerful mouth. These fleeting expressions help her communicate emotions to her friends.
Special Abilities:
Blobbit’s blobby form allows her to do things other characters can’t. She can elongate parts of her body to grab objects or help friends in need. Recently, she discovered she can even blow bubbles by using the gooey parts of her form, adding a fun and whimsical element to her abilities!
Transformative Powers:
One of Blobbit’s most fascinating traits is her ability to disguise herself as a rabbit. By stretching and molding her gooey form, she creates floppy ears, a fluffy tail, and big, bright eyes. This disguise is usually pretty convincing—until her gooey nature reveals itself in playful slips and stretches.
Personality Through Form

While Blobbit’s unique look is a big part of her charm, it’s her personality that truly brings her blobby form to life. She’s curious, kind, and always eager to make new friends. Her ability to morph and change not only adds to her physical versatility but also symbolizes her adaptability and willingness to fit in, even when things get tricky.

As fans of “Blobbit Adventures,” we’re continually enchanted by how her gooey form interacts with the world around her. Each episode reveals new ways that Blobbit’s unique body can solve problems, make friends, and teach us all about embracing our differences.

Conclusion

Blobbit’s blobby form is more than just a visual delight; it’s a key part of what makes her story so engaging. Her ability to stretch, morph, and adapt allows her to go on all sorts of adventures, bringing joy and laughter to her friends and viewers alike.

Keep watching, keep loving, and always remember to embrace the gooey uniqueness in all of us!

Title: Blobbit’s Origin

Scene 1: The Park – Rabbit Group

Narrator: “It was a lazy afternoon in the park, and Blobbit and her rabbit friends were lounging under the shade of a large oak tree.”

Blobbit (smiling): “Oh, it’s a long story. But it looks like we’ve got time today!”

Scene 2: Theories Begin

(The rabbits perk up, eager to hear more.)

Rabbit 2: “Let’s guess! I bet you fell from the sky during a meteor shower! You must be some kind of space goo that gained consciousness when you landed.”

Rabbit 3: “No way, that’s too far-fetched. I think she’s a magical experiment! Maybe a wizard was trying to create the perfect pet, and Blobbit was the adorable result.”

Rabbit 4 (enthusiastically): “What if she’s from a hidden underground world full of all kinds of blobs? They must come to the surface sometimes to explore and make friends, right?”

Blobbit (laughing softly): “You all have such vivid imaginations! Alright, let me tell you my real story.”

Scene 3: Blobbit’s Tale

(The rabbits gather closer, listening intently as Blobbit begins to share her origins.)

Blobbit: “I wasn’t always here in this town. I come from a place far away, deep in a lush forest where magical creatures reside. My kind are known as ‘Glamblobs.’ We are blobs of goo created by the essence of the forest itself.”

Rabbit 1: “So you’re from a magical forest?”

Blobbit: “Yes. Our forest is filled with ancient trees, glowing plants, and sparkling streams. Each Glamblob is imbued with a bit of the forest’s magic, which allows us to change our forms and blend with our surroundings.”

Scene 4: Leaving Home

Rabbit 2: “What made you leave such a magical place?”

Blobbit (wistfully): “Our forest was beautiful, but it was isolated. I had a longing to see more of the world and meet different creatures. So, I said goodbye to my fellow Glamblobs and ventured out.”

Scene 5: Arriving in Town

Blobbit: “When I first arrived here, I was nervous. I didn’t know how others would react to a gooey pink blob wandering around. That’s when I decided to adopt my rabbit disguise. It made it easier to make friends and experience this new world without scaring anyone.”

Rabbit 3: “And then you met us!”

Blobbit (grinning): “Exactly! I met all of you wonderful rabbits, and despite a few awkward moments with my gooey nature, you accepted me. That meant the world to me.”

Scene 6: Reflecting on Her Journey

Rabbit 4: “Wow, Blobbit, your story is even more incredible than we imagined.”

Blobbit: “Thank you. Sometimes I miss my magical forest, but I love it here too. And I’m glad I decided to follow my heart and explore beyond my home.”

Narrator: “Blobbit’s friends looked at her with newfound admiration, each grateful for the chance to know her and be part of her adventurous journey.”

Scene 7: Embracing Differences

Rabbit 1: “Your story reminds us that being different is special. You bring a bit of that forest magic into our lives every day, Blobbit.”

Blobbit (blushing slightly): “Thank you. I’m so happy to have friends like you who appreciate me for who I am, gooey form and all.”

Scene 8: The Day’s End

(The group spends the rest of the afternoon sharing stories and laughing, the bond between them even stronger.)

Narrator: “Blobbit’s journey from a magical forest to a sleepy town had its challenges, but it brought her to friends who valued her uniqueness. And in every heartwarming moment together, the spirit of her enchanted origin lived on.”

(Scene ends with a panoramic view of the park, the setting sun casting a golden hue over Blobbit and her friends.)

Narrator: “And so, Blobbit’s adventures continued, each day bringing new experiences and deeper friendships.”

(End of the story with a warm group hug)

Narrator: “Stay tuned for more heartwarming tales in the world of… Blobbit Adventures!”

Blobbit (smiling): “I’m fine, no harm done. My name’s Blobbit. What’s yours?”

Timmy: “I’m Timmy. I’ve never seen anything like you before. Are you… real?”

Scene 6: Farewell for Now

(As the sun starts to set, the children’s parents call them home for dinner. Timmy lingers a bit, not wanting the day to end.)

Timmy: “Do you think we can play again tomorrow, Blobbit?”

Blobbit: “Of course, Timmy! I’ll be here, ready for more fun and adventures.”

(Timmy gives Blobbit a grateful hug, and they wave goodbye.)

Narrator: “Blobbit’s unexpected encounter with Timmy turned into a day filled with laughter, new friendships, and wonderful memories.”

Scene 7: Returning Home

(Blobbit returns to her cozy spot under the oak tree, feeling content and happy. She curls up in her gooey form, reflecting on the day.)

Thread Title: Big Changes Coming to CITV Schedule Starting May 1!

User: KiddoFan123
Date: April 5, 2006
Subject: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

Hey everyone! I just got wind of some significant changes coming to the CITV schedule starting May 1, 2006! It looks like CITV is officially segregating CITV Red and CITV Blue into separate programming blocks, which means we'll see some different content during specific times of the day.

Here’s the breakdown:

CITV Blue will air from 6:00 AM to 7:25 AM every day, and then again on weekdays from 9:25 AM to 3:00 PM. It will also get a one-hour block from 2:00 PM on weekends.
CITV Red will take over the weekends, airing the majority of the channel’s programming during after-school hours, meaning no more preschool shows during that time.
This is such a big shift! I know some parents and caregivers appreciated the preschool shows in the after-school slots, but it seems like CITV is opting to cater more to older kids during those hours now.

What are your thoughts on this change? Do you think it will be better for the channel’s overall appeal or could it leave younger viewers hanging without much to watch after school?

User: AnimationLover88

Re: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

Wow, that’s a huge change! I can see why they’re doing it, though—older kids often want something different after school. Plus, it could give more variety to the programming throughout the day. But I do worry about the little ones missing out on those beloved preschool shows during the afternoons!

Re: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

I think this could be a good move! Having dedicated blocks means they can really focus on each target audience without mixing content. This could lead to more tailored programming and make it easier for parents to find suitable shows for their children at any time of the day.

Re: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

I do love the idea! It’ll be nice to see CITV really elevate the older kids' programming, especially after school. But I hope they don’t forget the preschool audience entirely! Maybe they could add some exciting new shows to the early morning slot, or even expand that beloved block on weekends!

Re: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

I’m all about putting more focus on different age groups! However, I hope they keep a good balance so that younger kids still have plenty of quality programming at those early hours. I expect to see some strategic planning in the new lineup!

Re: CITV Red and Blue Segregation Announcement!

I think it might be exciting for marketing too, with CITV really branding their shows under Red and Blue. It could help viewers identify which shows cater to their age group more easily. I'm definitely curious to see how they'll arrange the new schedule structured this way!

Thread Title: Thoughts After the First Week of the New CITV Schedule!

User: KiddoFan123
Date: May 9, 2006
Subject: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

Hey everyone! Now that we've completed the first full week of the new CITV schedule with the CITV Red and Blue blocks, I wanted to hear everyone's thoughts on how it's been so far.

I've got to say, the mornings have been nice and lively with Postman Pat and Pingu, which is still a great way to start the day! The new action block at 7:25 AM seems to be a hit with my friends. I overheard them talking about how much they loved catching up with Yu-Gi-Oh GX and Danny Phantom. It feels like they’ve really nailed the experience for older kids during the school morning rush!

However, I’m curious about how the afternoons are shaping up. I noticed some families saying they miss the preschool shows during the after-school slot, but honestly, Grizzly Tales, Blobbit Adventures, and everything in between have kept my little brother entertained!

What do you all think? Do you feel the new block system has been beneficial for the channel, or do you think it left some age groups feeling neglected? Any specific favorites you've found in the new schedule?

User: AnimationLover88
Date: May 9, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

I’m so glad you brought this up! I’ve loved the new CITV Blue and Red blocks! The early mornings are perfect, and my siblings enjoy the variety. The action cartoons really pump up the energy for those who are getting ready for school, which is fantastic!

However, I'm with you on the afternoons. While Grizzly Tales and Blobbit Adventures provide some fun content, I worry that younger kids might be left out without their calm preschools shows. Only time will tell if it manages to find the right balance!

User: RetroTVFan
Date: May 9, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

Totally agree with both of you! The segmentation between CITV Red and Blue feels like it’s made it much easier to manage viewing, especially with kids of different ages. The action block is a fun touch, and kids seem to love the mixed content!

That said, I’ve seen some complaints on social media about the lack of preschool shows during the afternoons. It feels like CITV should think about filling that gap, maybe making a compromise by having a few preschool-friendly shows sprinkled in even during the later times—like perhaps an early-evening slot?

User: PrincessPony
Date: May 9, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

I think it’s great that CITV is taking this adaptive approach! It really allows for variety in the lineup, which is essential in keeping kids entertained. And yay for having both Grizzly Tales and Blobbit Adventures so close together! I’ve noticed children are really enjoying them.

But like others mentioned, I’m hoping there’s a way for CITV to cater to the younger viewers. They could definitely benefit from adding some interactive elements or themed episodes to capture that preschool audience back!

User: CriticKid
Date: May 9, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

Changing the schedule is definitely a bold move, but I think it has the potential to be beneficial overall. My friends and I have been pleasantly surprised at the variety and quality of the shows. However, I also think it’s important to remember that the younger kids shouldn't be left without engaging content.

If CITV can find a way to mix in a couple of preschool favorites in the afternoons along with the newer shows, it might strike that balance everyone is hoping for. At the end of the day, kids of all ages should feel like they have something special to watch!

User: IWantToBeLikeBlobbit
Date: May 9, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

Yeah, it feels like CITV is really listening to their audience and trying to innovate! The action stations are a big hit, and it’s refreshing to see them cater to the older kids. Blobbit Adventures is also getting a lot of love; I think it fits well in the afternoon line-up.

As for the preschool audience, I hope CITV considers sprinkling in some of those beloved characters during later weekend slots! It would be great for having a more inclusive viewing schedule that keeps every age entertained! 😊

User: KiddoFan123
Date: May 10, 2006
Re: The New Schedule: Your Thoughts?

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone! It sounds like there's a consensus on enjoying the new variety overall, but the concern for younger viewers is definitely valid. Hopefully, CITV will take this feedback to heart, and we might see some adjustments to make it even better! Let’s keep discussing as the schedule continues to evolve! 🌟

Thread Title: Changes on CITV: What's Next After ITV Productions Kids Shutdown?

User: KiddoFan123
Date: July 4, 2006
Subject: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

Hey everyone! I just heard the news that ITV has officially shut down ITV Productions Kids. This definitely raises a lot of questions about what's next for CITV. With the closure, it sounds like we could either see more third-party acquisitions or risk becoming a repeat central for the shows they currently have.

The good news is that "Horrid Henry," produced by Novel Entertainment, seems to be safe for now. But what worries me most is that some of the other in-house shows could become an issue. What do you all think? Which show are we most concerned about losing or relying on to keep things fresh?

User: AnimationLover88
Date: July 4, 2006
Re: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

I’m with you, this is big news! It’s concerning because CITV has relied heavily on its in-house productions. While "Horrid Henry" might be okay for now, it feels like shows like "Blobbit Adventures" and "My Parents Are Aliens" could end up getting repetitive without new content being produced.

I think the show we should be most worried about is "Blobbit Adventures." It just debuted, and if CITV can’t bring in more original episodes, it could quickly become stale, especially without a solid backing from ITV Productions Kids anymore.

User: RetroTVFan
Date: July 4, 2006
Re: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

Exactly! I agree. "Blobbit Adventures" seems particularly vulnerable now that ITV isn’t producing any new kids' content in-house. It had such a unique concept, but without ongoing episodes, it could easily fall into the trap of being overplayed.

With the focus shifting toward third-party shows, I hope they can find a way to keep the content varied and interesting. But still, no one wants to see "Blobbit" get lost in the shuffle!

User: PrincessPony
Date: July 4, 2006
Re: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

For sure! "My Parents Are Aliens" might also be at risk of feeling outdated, especially since it's not a fresh series anymore. Without new shows coming in, I can see CITV becoming way too reliant on repeats.

If they don’t get more creative acquisitions soon, I wonder if kids will start to lose interest. It’s a bit scary, thinking about how quickly things can change!

User: CriticKid
Date: July 4, 2006
Re: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

Yeah, I can see where everyone’s coming from! There’s definitely a chance for CITV to thrive with new third-party acquisitions, but it’s so important they choose wisely to keep the lineup fresh and engaging.

I think if they can find something that resonates well with the audience, they might just dodge the "repeat central" idea. But it’s essential that they also focus on developing more homegrown content if possible, even if it means partnering with other production companies.

User: KiddoFan123
Date: July 4, 2006
Re: ITV Productions Kids Shutdown – What Does This Mean for CITV?

Totally! It looks like we're all on the same page about the potential risks here. I really hope CITV can pivot and find that right balance before viewers start feeling the impacts of too many repeats. Let’s keep our fingers crossed that they can make some wise decisions moving forward! With a little creativity, I believe they can still offer exciting programming! 🤞✨

Thread Title: Saturday Showdown to Toonbase: What Do You Think?

Subject: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

Hey everyone! Wow, what a shift! I just saw that "Holly and Stephen's Saturday Showdown" has officially been replaced by a new block called "Toonbase." It looks like they’re rolling out six different cartoons.

I have to admit, I’m a bit sad about the change. I loved the mix of live segments, games, and cartoons that Saturday Showdown offered. But I'm also curious to see how "Toonbase" will be. Does anyone have details on the shows that are part of this new block?

User: AnimationLover88
Date: July 18, 2006
Re: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

Yeah! It’s such a big change! I heard that Toonbase features some interesting selections. As far as I know, the block includes "TMNT," "SpongeBob SquarePants," "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic," "The Fairly OddParents," "Oggy and the Cockroaches," and "Winx Club."

It seems they’re really banking on solid, popular shows to draw viewers in. I wonder if Toonbase will have any interactive elements like Saturday Showdown did, or if it’s just going to be a straight cartoon block.

User: RetroTVFan
Date: July 18, 2006
Re: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

I was a fan of Saturday Showdown too, so I feel mixed about it as well. It's nice that they’re featuring some beloved cartoons in Toonbase, but I do worry it might come across as just another static cartoon block.

I hope they plan to incorporate some fun elements to keep it entertaining, like games or surprises between the shows. Otherwise, it might not hold viewers’ interest for long, especially since we’re now in a repeat-heavy era!

User: PrincessPony
Date: July 18, 2006
Re: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

It’s definitely a lot to absorb! I’m happy to hear they’re keeping all those fan-favorite cartoons in rotation. The lineup looks solid, and "Toonbase" has potential to be really enjoyable.

But you’re right—adding some interaction or themed segments to make it feel more engaging would elevate it. If they can inspire fun discussions or challenges among the viewers, it could work really well!

User: CriticKid
Date: July 18, 2006
Re: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

Totally agree with everyone! I'm glad to see some strong cartoon titles in the mix. It's basically a “best of” block! But without the interactive fun of Saturday Showdown, I worry about its long-term appeal.

If they can keep it lively and engaging during commercial breaks or even create special event episodes from time to time, it might have a chance to thrive. I guess we’ll have to see how it unfolds in the coming weeks!

User: KiddoFan123

Re: Saturday Showdown Has Faded Away!

Thanks for sharing your thoughts, everyone! I’m hoping for the best with "Toonbase," but I share your concerns. It might take some time for the new block to find its groove. Let’s keep an eye on how it develops and see if they can add some fun elements to keep things exciting! 😊

Emma has to wear a special device shaped like glasses, which turn her from her usual pink squid like appearance to a human. A fifth grade human. Which is about as bad as Emma thinks things can get. Until she slowly discovers that two of her most obvious human traits are not readily accepted by kids: First, she’s nerdy. Second, she wears glasses. Put together, these things make her time on our planet even more unbearable.

Thread Title: Where's Gob? Have We Lost Him from the Promos?

User: KiddoFan123
Date: January 5, 2009
Subject: Where Did Gob Go?

Hey everyone! I’ve been watching CITV for a while now, and I've noticed something strange: I haven’t seen Gob, the red sock puppet, in any of the promos lately. Does anyone know if he’s been phased out or if he’s just taking a break? I really loved his quirky charm and jokes!

User: AnimationLover88
Date: January 5, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

That's a good observation! I actually noticed that too! Gob always brought such a fun energy to the promos and made them more entertaining. I'm not sure if he's gone for good or just not featured as prominently anymore. I hope they bring him back soon!

User: RetroTVFan
Date: January 6, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

I miss Gob too! He added some personality to the channel. Maybe they're trying to refresh their promos or something? It could also be a strategic decision to showcase different characters or shows for a while. But it would be a shame to lose Gob entirely!

User: PrincessPony
Date: January 6, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

I hope it’s just a temporary absence! Gob's humor had such a silly and playful vibe that really connected with kids. Perhaps they’re planning on reintroducing him in a different format or updating his character for the new year? Fingers crossed we see him again soon!

User: CriticKid
Date: January 6, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

Honestly, I think Gob was pretty unique for CITV, and having him gone would be a loss. If they are shifting focus to other characters, I get it, but they should really consider keeping Gob in the mix. He just brings an extra layer of fun—hopefully, we won't have to say goodbye!

User: KiddoFan123
Date: January 7, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

I agree! If anyone hears any news about Gob or if they spot him coming back in any upcoming promos, please let us know! It’d be nice to kick off the new year with him making us laugh again! 🎉

User: AnimationLover88
Date: January 7, 2009
Re: Where Did Gob Go?

Absolutely! I will keep my eyes peeled for any signs of Gob. Maybe we could even start a campaign to bring him back into the promos. Who wouldn’t want to join me in that? Gob definitely deserves some appreciation!

User: RetroTVFan
Date: January 8, 2009

Count me in! Let’s get the word out and show CITV that we want Gob back! He’s part of what makes watching the promos fun. Hopefully, he’ll return soon with more of his antics!

Hey everyone! I’m so excited to share that "Mischief Month" is coming to CITV in March, and we’re getting a brand new show called "Rekkit Rabbit!" 🐰

The show will debut on March 1st, and it follows Jay Shmufton, a regular 12-year-old boy whose life turns upside down when he meets Rekkit, a giant, wacky rabbit. I can’t wait to see all the chaos these two will get into!

Mischief Month will also spotlight seven other mischievous CITV shows, including:

Horrid Henry - Following Henry's hilarious and chaotic antics.
My Goldfish is Evil - With Beanie navigating the challenges of his mischievous goldfish, Admiral Bubbles.
Supernormal - Featuring kids with unusual super powers and the mischief that follows.
Grizzly Tales for Gruesome Kids - Those eerie yet funny tales with moral lessons.
Chaotic - Tom and his friends tackling challenges in a life-sized video game world.
SpongeBob SquarePants - Join SpongeBob and the rest of Bikini Bottom in their usual shenanigans.
Four Eyes! - Emma's alien antics turn even crazier as she tries to fit in with human kids!

Exactly! I love the idea of incorporating interactive segments! It would be fantastic to see viewers join in on the fun and mischief with their favorite characters. March is going to be one entertaining month with all this lineup! Let’s make sure to tune in for the debut of Rekkit Rabbit on March 1st, and we should all share our thoughts afterward! 🎉✨

Thread Title: Is Skatoony Ever Coming Back to Toonattik?

Subject: Skatoony's Return?

Hey everyone! So, with all these changes happening at CITV, I’ve been thinking about "Skatoony." It's been a while since we last saw it in the "Toonattik" lineup, and I’m really missing that hilarious quiz show with the mix of animated characters and real kids!

Do you think there's any chance it might return in the near future? It would be so much fun to see it back on our screens! What do you all think?

Re: Skatoony's Return?

I totally feel you on that! "Skatoony" was such a unique show, and it brought so much energy and laughter to the Toonattik block. I’m honestly surprised it hasn’t made a comeback yet. I’d love to see them bring it back with even more fun games and challenges!

I wonder if there have been any updates from CITV about its return?

Re: Skatoony's Return?

I’ve been wondering the same thing! I really enjoyed the interaction between the kids and the animated characters. Plus, the games were always so clever and entertaining! I feel like it would fit perfectly with their current lineup, especially during "Mischief Month."

Maybe we should start an unofficial campaign to get CITV's attention on bringing back "Skatoony"?

Re: Skatoony's Return?

Yes! An online petition or something could definitely help show CITV how much we want it back! It’s a shame it’s been gone for so long. I’ve missed those colorful challenges and seeing the kids compete against the animated characters.

Let’s spread the word and rally for Skatoony’s return! Who knows—they might pay attention! 🎉

Re: Skatoony's Return?

I'm in on that! "Skatoony" brought such a fun and quirky vibe to Toonattik. I really think CITV could benefit from its return. I mean, the combination of quizzes and cartoons is something really special. If we can generate some buzz, they might just bring it back!

Let’s brainstorm some ideas for our campaign and see how we can make our voices heard! 🎈

Re: Skatoony's Return?

Perfect! I’m excited to see what we come up with. If anyone finds any contact info or social media where we can reach out to CITV, please share! Let’s make our case for "Skatoony" and remind them how much we loved it. The more love we show, the better chance we have! 🙌

Subject: What's Replacing Skatoony?

Hey everyone! As we continue our campaign to bring back "Skatoony," I’ve been curious about what’s currently taking its spot in the "Toonattik" lineup. I noticed the programming has shifted a bit lately, and I want to know what shows are occupying that time slot now.

Has anyone tuned in recently and caught what they’re showing instead of "Skatoony"? What do you think about the new lineup? Is it living up to the fun "Skatoony" brought? 🎉📺

User: AnimationLover88

Re: What's Replacing Skatoony?

Great question! I checked the schedule, and it looks like the current replacement is "Yin Yang Yo!" It’s definitely entertaining, but I can’t help but miss the unique mix of games and animated fun that "Skatoony" provided.

What do you all think about this change? Does "Yin Yang Yo!" hit the spot, or do you think "Skatoony" still has the edge?

User: RetroTVFan
Date: August 5, 2009
Re: What's Replacing Skatoony?

That’s right! "Yin Yang Yo!" is decent, but it lacks the interactive charm of "Skatoony." I feel like a quiz show format with live-action kids mixed with cartoons brought something special that other shows don’t quite capture.

If they're going to fill that spot, I hope they consider trying something similar again!

User: PrincessPony
Date: August 6, 2009
Re: What's Replacing Skatoony?

Absolutely! While "Yin Yang Yo!" has its moments with humor and action, I really miss the participation aspect of "Skatoony." It made every episode feel like an event, and the quizzes were a blast to watch!

Maybe we can mention our thoughts on social media or in our campaign? It could help emphasize just how unique "Skatoony" was and why it deserves a comeback! 🌟

User: CriticKid
Date: August 6, 2009
Re: What's Replacing Skatoony?

I agree with you all! The participatory element of "Skatoony" is hard to replicate. While "Yin Yang Yo!" can be amusing, it doesn’t quite match up in terms of engaging the audience.

Perhaps if we show our appreciation for "Skatoony" and emphasize what we’re missing in the current lineup, it can lead to a bigger push for its return. Let’s keep brainstorming ways to get the word out!

User: KiddoFan123
Date: August 6, 2009
Re: What's Replacing Skatoony?

Let’s do it! We can create posts highlighting "Skatoony" and its interactive charm compared to what's currently on air. The more we advocate for it, the better our chances! In the meantime, let’s keep an eye on the schedule and share any updates as they come. We’ve got this! 🎈🐰

Thread Title: Exciting Logo Change Coming to CITV!

User: KiddoFan123

Subject: New Logo Reveal for CITV!

Hey everyone! I just heard some buzz that CITV is set to unveil a brand new logo starting November 2, and it’s going to be a bright yellow TV! 💛📺 It sounds fun and fresh, but I’m curious about how this will all tie in with the shows we love.

What do you all think of the change? Do you think it suits the channel’s vibe better? And it got me thinking... when was the current logo introduced?

User: AnimationLover88
Date: October 10, 2009
Re: New Logo Reveal for CITV!

That's super interesting! A yellow TV sounds vibrant and playful—definitely a change from the navy blue triangle! As for the current logo, I believe it was introduced when the CITV channel first launched in March 2006. It was designed to stand out and appeal to kids of all ages.

It’s always refreshing to see a channel rebrand itself from time to time! I wonder if this logo will lead to other changes around the channel, like new idents or themed graphics?

User: RetroTVFan
Date: October 10, 2009
Re: New Logo Reveal for CITV!

I agree! The yellow TV could give CITV a whole new personality. As for the original logo, I think KiddoFan is right about its debut coinciding with the channel launch in 2006. It’ll be nice to see how they incorporate the new logo into the overall branding. Maybe we’ll finally see some creative new idents to match!

What do you think the new logo signifies for the future of the channel? Any hopes for more exciting content along with it?

I love the sound of the yellow TV! It immediately brings to mind feelings of fun and joy, which is perfect for a kid's channel. I think it reflects a more modern and lively approach.

As for the current logo being introduced in 2006, it definitely marks a significant era for CITV. I’m excited to see what they do with the branding! Maybe some sneak peeks will come before the launch on November 2!

This is all really exciting! The yellow TV sounds like it’s going to breathe new life into CITV's image. I also like thinking about how the logo has evolved over the years. The blue triangle served us well, but a change can usher in some great new content and creativity!

I wonder if they’ll have a launch event for the new logo or any specials? That could be a great way to celebrate!

Exactly! It does sound like a new beginning for CITV, and I’m all for it. Let’s keep our eyes peeled for any updates or sneak peeks as we get closer to November 2. If they do have events or reveals, we should all celebrate together!

Hey everyone! Along with the new bright yellow TV logo launching November 2, I just heard that the younger kids' block on CITV is officially rebranding as Mini CITV! 🎉

User2 (October 12, 2009, 9:25 AM):
Oh wow, that’s exciting! Mini CITV sounds like a perfect name for the preschool segment. Do you know if they’re doing anything special for it?

User3 (October 12, 2009, 9:40 AM):
Yes! They’re introducing these adorable little white spacemen creatures called the Minis as mascots for Mini CITV. Apparently, they’ll be featured during the block’s interstitials and promotions to help younger viewers connect with the channel.

User4 (October 12, 2009, 10:05 AM):
Love that idea! Having cute mascots always helps make the younger block more engaging for toddlers. Plus, the spacemen theme sounds fun and imaginative—perfect for sparking little imaginations!

User1 (October 12, 2009, 10:20 AM):
Exactly! It seems like CITV is going all out with their branding and programming upgrades. Between the new logo and Mini CITV’s mascots, it looks like they’re really aiming to refresh the whole channel experience.

User2 (October 12, 2009, 10:45 AM):
I’m definitely looking forward to seeing the Minis in action. Hopefully, they’ll have some fun segments or even little stories starring them. It’s a great way to introduce the younger audience to the channel’s identity.

User3 (October 12, 2009, 11:10 AM):
Totally agree. The combination of fresh branding and engaging mascots might really help Mini CITV stand out in the crowded preschool market. Looking forward to November 2!

User4 (October 12, 2009, 11:35 AM):
Does anyone know which shows the Mini CITV block will focus on? Hopefully, it will keep favorites like Postman Pat and Angelina Ballerina while adding some new faces to match the mascots’ vibe.

User1 (October 12, 2009, 12:00 PM):
From what I’ve heard, it’ll definitely keep the classics you mentioned, plus some newer preschool programming. The Minis will be there to guide the little viewers through all of it, making it feel fresh and fun.

User2 (October 12, 2009, 12:30 PM):

Hey everyone! Just wanted to check in and say wow — CITV has really been expanding lately! We’ve seen some fresh shows joining the lineup like Farm Camp, Don’t Unleash the Beast, Skillicious, and the game show 2Cool4School popping up recently. Plus the new action-packed cartoon Huntik has brought some awesome energy.

User2 (September 15, 2009, 9:40 AM):
Absolutely, 2009 has been HUGE for CITV! It feels like they’re really pushing to broaden their audience with variety — from farm life in Farm Camp to the mythology-driven Don’t Unleash the Beast, and even sporty stuff with Skillicious. The new action cartoon Huntik is a fantastic addition, too.

User3 (September 15, 2009, 10:05 AM):
Yeah, we’ve definitely seen CITV shifting back more and more into their core identity with these diverse shows. It’s great to see new originals alongside familiar favorites like Horrid Henry and Blobbit Adventures. Kids have so many options now!

User4 (September 15, 2009, 10:30 AM):
I like how they’ve balanced the schedule — it’s not just more shows, but the types of shows have become more varied. Educational, adventure, sport, mystery… the action series Huntik really shows CITV is willing to invest in exciting, high-quality cartoons to compete with other channels.

User1 (September 15, 2009, 11:00 AM):
Definitely! They seem to be catering to a broader age range while keeping their unique charm and sense of fun. Wouldn’t be surprised if we see even more announcements before the year ends. 2009 really is one to watch for CITV fans.

User2 (September 15, 2009, 11:25 AM):
Here’s hoping! I’m enjoying the new stuff so far, but Fingers crossed CITV keeps striking that balance between fresh content and classics going forward.

User3 (September 15, 2009, 11:45 AM):
Thanks for the update! Excited to see what else 2009 brings for CITV!

User1 (Nov 2, 2009, 8:00 AM):
Hey everyone! Just caught the new CITV promo and saw the updated logo — that bright yellow TV! Also, the promo had this cool tagline: “This autumn we're gonna tell it like it is, Confess everything, Say it loud, Say it proud, and wait to see what happens.” Then they showed clips from about 10 different shows before ending with “Every day's a CITV day, We just can't help it.”

User2 (Nov 2, 2009, 8:30 AM):
Yeah, I saw that too! The new logo looks so fresh and vibrant, totally different vibe from the old navy blue triangle. Love the energy of that promo — it felt confident and bold. Makes me excited for what CITV has planned!

User3 (Nov 2, 2009, 8:55 AM):
Agreed! The message “Tell it like it is” is pretty ambitious for a kids’ channel, but I think it fits CITV’s style these days — fun, a bit cheeky, and definitely not afraid to stand out. The clips in the promo looked like a great mix of shows too.

User4 (Nov 2, 2009, 9:15 AM):
I was really impressed with the pacing and editing of the promo. The music was catchy and matched the bold tone perfectly. The tagline “Every day's a CITV day, We just can't help it” makes it feel like they want us to see CITV as part of daily life — more than just a channel, almost like a lifestyle. Nice touch!

User1 (Nov 2, 2009, 9:45 AM):
Totally. Also, anyone else notice the variety of shows in the clip montage? It seemed to cover everything from the goofy comedies to the action-packed cartoons like Huntik and Ben 10. Looks like they really want to showcase their diversity.

User2 (Nov 2, 2009, 10:10 AM):
Yeah, it felt very inclusive, like there’s something for every kid out there. I think the new look and promo might help CITV shake off any “just for little kids” image and appeal to a wider audience.

User3 (Nov 2, 2009, 10:35 AM):
I hope this new branding keeps the momentum going! CITV’s been steadily improving, and this is a nice statement to say, “We’re here and evolving.” Can’t wait to see those new idents and bumpers that go along with the logo!

User4 (Nov 2, 2009, 11:00 AM):
Same here! Let’s keep sharing our thoughts as more clips and promos hit. This feels like a new era for CITV. Exciting times!
