CITV Channel
The CITV Channel is a British children's TV station from ITV plc (whose airtime is sold by the Channel 3 breakfast licensee GMTV). The channel is aimed at children under 9 years old, showing content from the current CITV library, as well as commissions and acquisitions. The CITV Channel broadcasts weekdays between 6am and 6pm & weekends between 6am and 12.30pm, with space on Freeview being used by ITV4 for the other hours of the day. The channel launched on 11 March 2006 at 9.25am (with Holly & Stephen's Saturday Showdown) on Freeview, Homechoice (now known as Tiscali TV) and Telewest†. It also launched on Sky Digital on 8 May 2006 on EPG 624, and NTL† on the 6th June on EPG 602/76. The Freeview distribution of the channel timeshares the bandwidth allocated for ITV4 as it runs in the time the channel does not show programming. Additionally, the channel is simulcast on GMTV2 on weekdays between 6am and 9.25am, and repeated on a one-hour timeshift on ITV2+1, branded CITV+1 between 7am and 10.25am, replacing the former GMTV Kids strand.
