BBC had a piece about CITV closing a month ago, they didn't want to promote any CITV presenter so they brought in Broom Cupboard babe Phillipa Forrester to chat about it.
Still a few hours left to go on the CITV channel.

Very sad but with youtube and streaming there doesnt seem a point to these channels any more with all the content that kids can see online anyplace now. Ah i miss the days of going live, DJ kat and all that.

I missed the closedown but it was uploaded to Youtube, it ended with a few toy commercials, and a small promo for the ITVXKids streaming app. This had been an ad that had ran for several weeks prior, but there was a slight change to the end of the ad. In the prior weeks the girl in the ad had said "CITV is closing" and with this one, it was "CITV is closed".

ITV2 have taken over the block and will run it seven days a week in the mornings, and to my surprise they've kept the CITV branding, although all the programmes promoted between shows all have the ITV X branding so I don't know whether or not keeping CITV around for now will last or if it's to help ease kids into the transition.
