ITV is the leading commercial broadcaster in the UK. CITV is the brand’s kids service, aimed at children six to twelve. The channel is free to air and reaches around 2.5 million children in the UK every month. With a mix of original content (in both live action and animation), and some quality acquisitions, CITV is a fun destination best described as being “for kids, by kids.” Key series for CITV include ‘Spy School’, ‘Thunderbirds are Go’ and ‘Mr Bean: The Animated Series’.
The channel is looking to enhance its inventory of programmes with more scripted live action content (all genres) and strong comedy animation that appeals to boys.
‘littleBe’ is a brand new dedicated pre-school block on ITVBe targeting children aged 2-4. ITV’s home for younger viewers, the block is looking to acquire a range of gender-neutral animated and live action programmes.
