Children’s TV channel CITV will close in. September, following the launch of ITVX Kids, the children’s service on ITV’s new streaming service ITVX.
A spokesperson for ITV told Sky News: “As a consequence of this new streaming approach and responding to the changing ways children and their parents are increasingly accessing content, the CITV broadcast channel will close after the summer holidays on 1st September.”
ITVX replaced ITV Hub in December 2022, with the broadcaster making moves to compete with streaming platforms such as Disney+, Netflix and Amazon Prime Video.
Children’s ITV launched in 1983, sitting across weekday late afternoons, with the digital CITV channel following in 2006.
